WASHINGTON, April 3o.--The Admins
tration has made an estimate that about
100000 men are out OF employment in
New York city alone. The investigation
undertaken by the Department of Labor
early in February more than corrobo-
rates the findings of Mayor Mitchefs
committee and other investigators that
were made into New York's unemployed.
IT rs acknowledged also by the depart
ment that these figures do not measure
accurately the amount OF unemployment.
az all workers who were engaged on
part time or had irregular work were
counted among the employed. The re-
port says that the total number Of wage
earners In New York city in 1915. esti-
mated on the basis adopted by the Cen
sus Bureau. is approximately 2,455.0o0
and tina, the percentage Of unemploy-
men: found amorg members of the 54,-

TENER FAvoRs COAST SERIES.
Will Fight to Have Champions in
Meeting With All Stars.

PHILADELPHIA. April 3.-Presldent
John K. Tener of the National League
and Mrs. Tener arrived here yesterday
from their trip to the Pacific coast. and
in a long interview the former Governor
of PENNSYLVANIA not only predicted good
year for base bah, but also advocated
that the winner of tho world series
play a series of games with an all-star
team picked from the other leagues.
Tener said that the west Is hungry for
good base ball, and that such a series
would reap a rich harvest.
with the thousands OF persons IN San
Francisco" he said. naturally such a
series next fall would mean enormous
rates. and also give tho natives Of that
mart of the country a chance to see big
ieaeuers really playing hard and earnest
lv in a series on which the ultimate out
come meant something.
"Rut I never would consent to having
the remnant winners Of tho leagues meet
ont there In a regular world serieA That
would not be fair to tho major league
cities. To accomplish this proposed trip
II would be necessary to pass certain
Hesitation by the governing bodies Of
base ball. but / think there would be
very little opposition to this, for 1t would
advertise the game greatly. and also give
the coast fans chance to see what big
league players can do against worthy
foemen. I certainly will do all in my

Some Encouraging Factors.

Among the more encouraging factors
were the numerous favorable railway
reports for February, showing large

to the highest price since the war de-
noted marked improvement in those
Industries
A falling off in cotton and wheat
shipments is seen in last months ex-
port movement, but even in the alb

that the country's foreign trade for
that period will add very enormously
to it's already large credit balance.
