HOW LABOR IS FaRING.
First -Four Months Of This Year the
Busiest on Record.


Busiest on Record.
For enc desiring 10 know something
Of the union labor situation through
out the country Ito get at a glance an
idea Of how labor Is faring during the
FIRST third Of the year--there is nothing
better than the regular monthly state
ment which IS prepared under the
auspices OF the American Federation
Of Labor, showing the percentage Of
union labor unemployed FOR each
month. with comparison with the
same month for the preceding year,
writes Samuel GomperE aa
The year 1907 has 50 far the best
record that has been made January
opened np WITH q fraction over per
cent unemployed, as compared with 7
per cent unemployed during the month
Of January, 1906. February and March
OF last year saw a rapid improvement
over January. che proportion OF unem.
ployed dropping rapidly in sixty days
until It was less than > per cent. But
this year the Improvement has been
even more notable. For February the
unemployed were but . BIO per cent.
which in April dropped TO 2-l0 per
cent, which Is the lowest April percent
age Of unemployed In our tabular rec
ord
In noting this favorable start In 1907.
Il IS interesting TO note aIs0 that the
year OF 1906 was. on the whole, an Inn
provement over 1905, That year start
ed with per cent unemployed as
against 6 per cent in January OF 1905,
but the percentage quickly dropped be-
low the percentage OF the year before
and remafned below II during practic-
ally ell the twelve months May was
the busiest month, our tables showing
that less than per cent OF the Huion
labor was that month without employ
ment. During May OF 1905 the per
centage was between ] and .,
IN midsummer 10 August, 1906. the
percentage OF unemployed rose to per
cent. in 1906 the proportion kept below
? per cent until September. when Il
rose q little above 8 per cent. IN the
fall again the last OF October, In both
years, the proportion Of unemployed
dropped 70 less than / per cent. In
December. 1906, there was a let-up
again 10 4 per cent but the new year
saw. az we hnve seen. all but 2 per
cent ct work. and this percentage has
been lessening up 70 date.
These percentages tell double story.
They reflect tie conditions Of the Ia.
Dor market as to strike disturbances
and to Industrial disturbances. Any
widespread strike throws number OF
people ont 81 employment and huds
expression IN these figures, SO any
letting up Of good times any slowing
down Of the wheels Of industry. In
cresses the number Of the unemployed
ana Affects these percentages.
The percentages are the result OF re-
ports made 70 me as the editor OF the
American Federationalist They are
based on returns from some $50 local
unions. The trades are diversified and
are sufficiently typical so that the flg-
ures u0questionably represent the gen.
eral conditions as they prevail.
