INDUSTRY IN
PARIS REEVES
ON BIG SCALE
As Shown by the Decrease in
the Number of Idle Work.
men in That City.

PARIS, Feb. 15-The number of
men and women In the city OF Paris
thrown out of employment by the war
has diminished from 257,435 during
the battle Of the Marne in September.
1914, to 79,447 in December, 1915.
according to Official figures. gathered
from the number of unemployed
cards" issued to workmen and work
lngwomen TO entitle them to receive
the allowance 10 the unemployed
made by the city.
The decreasing number OF idle
workmen is evidence of the revival
or nearly every Partisan industry.
The most important of all. the textile
and clothing trade in which there
were 44,333 unemployed March J.,
has now only 1868 persons out of
work, of whom 2S,569 are women.
Unemployed" cards were issued
to about 10000 men and women
practlcing liberal professions The
number was reduced only to 9,347 in
March and 9,317 in December show
ing that the situation of the mechan-
c, the sewing girl and the common
laborer is better in comparison than
actors out Of engagements, artists
without customers, etc.
House servants are the worst off.
OF about 10000 idle at the Begin
ming OF the year, only $1,000 have
found places. This is attributed to
measures of economy in some Paris
ian families, the breaking up OF 9TH
ers and to the fact that many fam
lilies have left the city for their coun-
try homes for the duration Of the
war.
The building trades have come
back nearly to normal conditions
since there are only about 2,437 men
Of those trades idle; it is about the
normal figure Of times of peace,
Women so largely employed in
luxury industries were the most af-
fccted by the war, but they are rap
idly finding new occupations.
81 am taking the place of my hus-
band who is fighting in the Ar
gonne," said woman street car con-
ductor. Before the war was u
scamstress in a big dressmaking es-
Enlistment. There are now $50
women taking mems places on that
line, enabling the company to double
the service of the lines in operation
last spring The subways have given
places to about 1900 women. Like
the tramway conductors, they wear n
jaunty fatigue cap that gives them a
military air that everyone accepts as
quite appropriate; they are doing
their share.
The Paris commission houses lost
1870 men by the mobilization and
took on 27,400 women, mostly wives,
sisters or cousins of their modified
employees. Ten thousand women
found places in the Paris postolllces
which have lost 10000 men by the
mobilization. The six railway COM
panies centering in Paris gave places
to about 1000 women, while $500
were taken into the principal banks.
The number Of women employed
in the national tobacco factories has
