CHICAGO, April 29 (Aswoclated | Press),—General improvement in the industrial situation, described in sev: eral instances as slow but steady, in- | dicated in reports gathered by the Associated Press from Federal, State, labor and industrial leaders. Labor commissioners and other of- ficlals in virtually every State from which reports were received, not only declared that unemployment bad ma- terially been lessened in the last few months, but nearly all were optimis- | tie. \ While no definite figure was avall- | able, approximately 1,350,000 persons were reported Idle in sixteen States trom which estimates were regeived. Larg industrial States such as New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachu- setts contributed more than 1,000,000, New York leading with an estimated 600,000 out of work. The total popu- lation of the sixteen States is in ex- cess of 43,000,000. A programme of intense building activity and city and State improve- ment work was outlined in reports from virtually every State, and it was expected many idle workers would find employment in a gigantic construction boom which was indicated. Monthly records kept by the Ameri- ean Contractor since 1914 were broken by the total valuation of building per- mits in leading cities for March, the aggregate being $262,283.264 for 190 cities.. The number of permits tssued was 62,444. fl As compared with March, 1921, when the permits numbered 53,315 and the valuation amounted to $131,- 005,317, the gain was 98 per- cent, New York established an unpre- cedented record of $104 8,548, It was estimated by persons con- versant with the situation that about | 600,000 persons in New York would be unemployed May 1. However, 300,000 more persons will be em- ployed on that date than in August, 1921, which was the month of greatest unemployment. Building is about normal in all} parts of New Jersey, according to Russell Eldredge, Federal Director of | employment in the State Department | of Labor. Farm labor is scarce, he said. Business is improving north of Trenton. The southern part of the State is returning to normal condi- tions more slowly. The potterles of ‘Trenton are being vperated at about 90 per cent. of iormal and the steel plants at about 70 per cent. Rubber mills are working on three shifts. ae ELEVATED DEPOT | IS NEW DOCK PLAN Calls for Continuous Building on} West Street From Cortlandt to 42d. | Francis Lee Stuart, consulting en- gineer, outlined his plan for the re- construction of the Hudson River waterfront, in connection with the Hudson River bridge project before the American Society of Engineers | lust night.

Ridnik said: in her letter was an in- formal luncheon, y'understand, and right off the reel we wasted three- quarters of an hour trying to find where they lived, Mawruss, because Mrs. Ridnik said in her letter that their house was the first Italian villa you come to after passing two Colon- {al houses and an English cottage. Not being a combination of blood- hound and an archyteck exactly, I walked Rosio pretty near to White Plains and back before we found Rid- nik's house.

Mr. and Mrs, Shattuck went to a hotel on the Sunday night following the robbery, and it was not until the fullowing Wednesday that the wife re- covered from the shock. Only once did she visit her old home prior to their departure for Europe, the visit being made for the purpose of getting necessaries for tho trip. She exacted from her husband a promise that he would never aleep in the house until the butler, who had twico robbed them, was captured, One of the reasons for the trip Is to afford Mr, Shattuck the opportunity of * laying before Scotland Yard and the French and Italian authorities at first hand all knowledge of the butler, Bollat, for use in the event of his hav- ing escaped to the other side of the ocean ad AQUITANIA MAKES DOCKING RECORD Tied Up At Pier One Hour After Leaving Quarantine Station.
