. ‘WAGNER DECLARES SITUATION GRAVE New York Congressman Says Unemploymeat Grows Washington, Feb. 16 (UP)—The resolution of Senator Wagner, demo- | crat, N. Y., calling on the labor de- partment for a national survey of unemployment led to a Varlety of estimates today on the true ratio of workers to jobs. Wagner insisted unemployment is increasing and said the labor de- partment lacks sufficient data on the subject. . Administration officers admitted the lack of data, and agreed that| such a survey was needed but point- | ed out its difficulties and gencrally ! cxpressed optimism over employ- ment conditions. Employment data gathered by the | bureau of labor statistics in selected manufacturing industries show a de» crease in factory employes of 15 cént since 1923, when the b\lrw Ml began its study. The latest index | figure, December, 1927, was 85.1 per cent of the 1923 par. Further df ‘lines were expected for January an February, this year, on the basis o! reports already received. However, government experts pointed out that the bureau's fig- | ures cover only employment in in- dustries well established prior to 1923, bor, miners, domestic help or any of the new industries such as air- planes, radio, rayon and the like except where the older industries have added the new lines to their production. The experts further said that de- spite the apparent falling off in workers, production has increased because of further mechanization of manufacturing plants. They sugges- od that most workers thus displaced | by machines may have been ahsorb- | «d by new or non-manufacturing in- dustries for which there are no na- | tional atatistics. Officials declared a house-to- house canvass of the nation would be mecessary for an accurate check of unemployment. They said cven 4 less thorough survey would re- juire a etaff of several hundred per- sons and would entail large l»\px-gr”» tures. No funds are now availabhle, the labor department added. The department was rcpresented us glad to conduct an unemployment survey {if assisted by the larger cities in loeal canvasses such as Baltimore is making.
