12,000 MORE OT OF WORK STATE THAN LAST MARGH Industrial Commission Ex- pects Unemployment to In- crease With Cold Weather. (Sheetal to The Pranine Weel) ALBANY, Nov. 13.—Hardly any Industry in the State will escape the general depression in manufacturing activity, which started last March and shows no sign of let up, acoord- ing to the State Industrial Commin- ston. Even those industries which still report @ high level of operations, the commission declares, will soon be affected by the general decrease in employment. The falling off in the number of employees in the State has been 9 per cent., or nearly 120,090, aince last March. During October alone it was 2 per cent. and the slump maf grow as winter ap- proaches, The commission gives the prevall- ing depression in business as the cause. It says that while the decrease im employment in some industries haa already ompumed oonsiderable proportions, in many of thom reduc- tions are recent and have taken the form of a slow and gradual readjust- ment. The industries which have been hardest hit by the depression are the nutofmobile, firearms, heating appar- atus, leather, boots and shoes, woolef goods, cotton goods, knit goods, men's clothing and sugar refining. ‘The dogreane in employment tn the cotton and woolen knit goods in- dustry amounted to 26 per cent. in October and to 44 per cent. since April. The automobile industry shows a reduction of 10 per cent. in October and of 42 per cent. since Match, In the leather industry a re- duction of 22 per cent. in the number of people employed has occurred ince January and the drop in October amounts to 4 per cent. The production of miscellaneous groceries employed 9 per cent. less workers in October than in Septem- ber and 20 per cent. less workers than in July, The decline in sugar refining is chiefly responsible for thin decreane, Men's clothing shows a re- duction in employees of 6 per cent. In October and of 20 per cent. since April. A decrease of 6 per cent. in October vand of 20 per cent, since March is also reported in the cotton s00ds industry. Other important decreases from September to October are 3 per cent. {nm wool manufactures and 2 per cent. each in the boote and shoes and fire- arme ahd cutlery industries. The re- ductions in these industries since last March are 22 per cent. in boots anq shoes, 18 per cent. in firearms and cutlery, and 16 per cent, in wool manufactures, The heating appar- &tus industry reports a reduction in employment of 4 per cent in October sila of 12 per cent, since July. Other industries affected by the depression, though to a lesser extent, are brass, copper and aluminum, sheet metal work and hardware, ma- chinéry and electrical goods, furni- tute, pianos, rubber goods and rub- ber reclaiming, buttons, miacellanc- ous chemicals and milk products. Decreases in employment due to Seasonal fluctuations appear in the stone, brick, lumber, canning and beverages industries. The largest decreases are 18 per cent. in canning COMMODORE SHOW Dainty Actress Rises From) Windsor Hotel, Montreal, walked aay - |acrosa the room to convey their con- Bottle to Strains of | gratulations. |" Edward M.
