MANY MEN OUT OF WORK.
Conservative Estimates Place the Num-

Conservative Estimates Place the Num-
ber OF Unemployed at over 5000 I'm
This CIty-BuiIding Trades Duu
There are over 5000 people out OF
work IN the city Of Wilmington. That
is the conservative estimate OF various
employers who were seen yesterday
afternoon by an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter These comprise all kinds Of
skilled mechanics, laboIers and clerks
Nearly every branch of business Ia
dull Particularly Is this true OF the
building trade. With the exception OF
the work on the addition to the state
buildings at Farnhurst. there Is abso-
lutely no work OF Importance under way
IN the city or ouvirons
However, this condition OF affairs Is
only temporary In this line, and a
number Of buildings are projected
Notably among these Is the addition TO
Howard School But this will not 90
aheai for some little tims Then the
completion Of the post Office bulding will
give work TO number OF men. There
are some houses proposed, but buildera
say that a smaller number are projected
than for years past.
The construction Of the new apartment
house on Market street will Of course,
help dissolve the present stagnation, but
10, too Is a work OF the future Even In
repairs the work In building Is slower
than In many years. Real estate men
say that they have been doing little re-
pairs, for the reason that property Is
hardly paying interest on the money
invested
While the business outlook Is brighten
ing little it Is almost imperceptiblo and
most employers predict that it will be
month before things are much better
