U. S. HEADED TOWARDS INDUSTRIAL PROSPERITY Washington, July 9.—The United States is. striding vigorously- toward in- dustrial prosperity, acecrding to the eco- nomic summary. for the month of June is- sued by the. United States employment service of the department of Jabor. Employment is increasing, the survey said despite unsettled conditions in the coal fields and cotton textile inlustry and the railroad controversies, Of the 65 leading cities of the country, 52 reported increased employment; while 13 reported decreased employment during ! June. A hoteworthy feature of the survey, the depactment sa‘d, was that all industries but the stone: clay and glass products in- dicated “incréases in employment. In these three ‘industries, it was said, the decrease was largely due to seasonal lay- offs. Director General Jonesof the employ- ment service declared the ‘“country is steadily but surely forging its way toward a period of industrial prosperity. in which it is possible that, the labor supply will not equal the @Smand.” . A note of optim- ism, he added, pervades practicaily every ! industry in every section of the country. The suryey indicated, according 1o Mr. Jones, that building activities were devel- oping so that a ‘shortage of skilled build- ing craftsmen was becoming apparent in many sections of the country.., The hct weather was reported to have hastened wheat ' cutting in Kansas and Nebraska, which, “‘coupled with trans- portation. difficulties, has caused a tem- porary shortage in harvest fields of the middle west.” Many difficulties, the department fur- ther stated beset the handling of the 1abor supply for the harvest season in the big wheat Feit in Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakéta and South Dakota. ‘The advance wheat through excessive heat, shortage of men, and many other obstacles it was said, has. made the task ef thé.United Statés farm labor bureau in handling tha employment situation one of the. most difficult in its history.
