LOSS DUE TO LOCKOUT.
RESULT OF LABOR VARS
Much Building after 4H-Better
.Sdnitary Conditions.

Albany. Oct 4.-The State Department of Labor
in its quarterly bulletin released for publication
tonight attributes the diminution in the summer
of the unprecedented degree of employment and
wages reported in the June bulletin almost wholly
to labor disputes Says the bulletin:
The lockout in the building trades In Manhattan
and Bronx boroughs of New-York City over,
Swallowed all other disputes of the summer and
In Brooklyn. however, building operations were
on larger scale than usual and even In Manhattan
Borough building was by means wholly suspended,
so that IN the entire city FEWER worKnen Hoeed
In Buffalo and Syracuse building operations were
carried more energetically than ever before, and
in manufacturing industries generally. save In the
case of the metal working industries, the Noue oI
production was undimnished-
In general the bulletin holds that, exclusive OF
the building trades. New-York Industries were as
active in the summer of 1892 which was banner
year. and continues:
immigration this summer has exceeded even the
record breaking current of last year, ana lnul 10
Central and Southeastern Europe, 10 ENJOY ne
United States The largest contingents are sin the
Italians, Poles ana otner races OF I
Notwithstanding the great tide of immigration the
superintendent of the State Free employment buo

Prosperity is so widely diffused that the servant
keeping class is larger than ever before anu mas
thus created demand that exceeds the supply
The principal work of the deputy factory inspec-
tors in the second quarter of this year was the
annual inspection Of tenement work places in New
York City. They visited 1900 family workrooms-
living rooms in which members of the family carry
on manufacturing-besi 200 workshops in tene-
ment buildings and found that about one out or
every three licensees had removed from the rooms
in which they originally licensed to work.
So many licenses were cancelled on this account
that there was a net decrease of 2606 from April
to July in New-York City. Notwithstanding which
fact the number of licenses in force at the latter
date by thousand the
number outstanding year earlier.
The inspectors report a pronounced improvement
in the sanitary condition of tenement work places,
effected mainly by the enforcement OF the new
Tenement House law by the Tenement House De
partment of New-York City.

managers Of factories l,432, compared with
9sS in the corresponding months of last year.
Thirty-siX accidents fatal compared with
