BSINSS REVIVAL SEEN IN GROWING | COAL PRODUCTION Wholesale Manager Says In- crease in Mine Output Means Lower Prices. WASHINGTON, May 17—(United Press).—Bituminous coal production Bow has jumped to more than 7,000,- 000 tons weekly, indicating that fac- fory wheels are beginning to turn} faster and that the country Is well @tarted on the long pull out of the Dusiness depression. Increasing cou! | Production and consumption m less unemployment, larger production of necessities and lower prices “The coal production reports of the | Interior Department constitute one of the nation's best business barom eters,” said George H. Cushing, man aging director of the National Whole @ate Coal Association, here to-day “By July, bituminous production will have reached the stage of 9, 000 tons weekly. This means empl: ment of from 150,000 to 175,000 more miners, When miners go to work | closed factories start to reopen and] unemployment decreases.” If Cushing’s reasoning is correct, unemployment in the general indus- trinl world should be reduced to 2,000,000 in the next six months. There are approximately 12,000,000 industrial workers in the United| States now of whom more than 4,000,000 are idic, The securing of regular cmplo nt during the next six weeks by 00,000 persons now {dle would have a tremendous vital effect on the entire nation’s economic conditio Althe sh bituminous coal produc and du 0,000 ton: J that this will in be reached for months, perhaps not in a year, Cus! ing said. ——————>__ PINK ROSES INVADE | OLD HELL’S KITCHEN Women’s Precinct Station Decorated in Honor of Mrs. Loft. | House Police Commissioner Enright, Chief Inspector Murphy, Lieut.
