The Unemployed YhcusandS:
Tho Investigations undertaken by Brad
Streets shows that 70 far ~ reported, three
hundred and sixteen thousand fewer employees
arc at work In manufacturing establishments
In twenty one states, containing " per cent
Of the manufacturing employees, than have
hitherto boon required 1t 10 fair to presume
that more detailed inquiry would reveal near
or three hundred and fifty thousand as the to-
pages at this season. The enforced idleness
among lumbefmen in the Northwest and the
North 10 not included in tho totals presented,
nor are the reductions among clerks and other
employees IN mercantile houses the lar9of
cities
Wiscons,n-Prominent numbering firms in
Wisconsin say that the cut Is expected to be
about two thirds Of that . year ago. Last
year about eighty thousand men were EN-.
ployed, which number it may be inferred,
inK the probable number out Of employment
Ainnssota-Ihe single instance in this field
where . large number Of men have been
thrown ont Of employment by the pressure of
the times is the case of the Northwestern Car
company. at Stillwater, which went into the
hands Of receiver recently. The lumber
business Of the Northwest il severely de-
pressed saltwater lumbermen claim their
cut in the woods will be reduced 50
per cent for next year, With proportions

5000 men out Of work The manufacturing in
dustry of Minneapolis shows little change.
The largest estimate Of iron workers thrown
ont II employment is go, and this about the
mark. Wages are reduced about ~ per cent

been running, but with reduced crews averag-
ing three f0urths of full number. In wood

that less than GU per cent of the number of men
sent into the woods will be employed this winter

there are probably from j, 600 to Loo mon out

no wage reductions. No strikes worth chron-
icing are reported from tho Northwest. In the
cities Of Minneapolis and St Paul there are,
ABSOLUTELY speaking, more men employed to-day
than one year ago. The expansion Of industry
has made way for new banda The pressure VI
