Troubles In New York.


The decrease in !dleness among la

four years prior to the financial dis
turbances of 1907. according to the
quarterly bulletin issued by the State
department of labor. Announcement
is made. however. that this decrease
is partly counterbaianced In the total
by an increase in idleness due to la
Dor disputes. A statement prepared
by the department says:

increased percentage G7.4) is shown.
The decrease In idleness during the
first half OF the year was due entire

shown by the causes of idleness re-

of the state of trade shows a great
