Unemployed Increase
1000 a Week in St. Louis

Special Correspondence
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April Give
weeks ago a canvass of st. Louis
showed 10000 unemployed men. Since
then the number has increased for two
reasons: Many additions have been
made by discharged soldiers and the
demand for labor has not increased.
1t is estimated that the increase has
been 1000 week, 5000 since the can
vass was made and total to-day of
$4,000 unemployed.
The Central Trades and Labor Union
is on record as requesting that SOL
diers belonging to other towns go
home and look for work and thus avoid
congesting the st. Louis labor market
On the Illinois side the situation is
no better with several of the larger
Industries closed and others running
on less than full time. Returning min
ers find that the mines are furnishing
about two days work week. In East
st. Louis 800 soldiers are looking for
work.
Stewart Campbell, head of the ILL
nois Free Employment Bureau, East
st. Louis, and head of the local United
States Employment Bureau, says there
is plenty of call for men to 60 to
southern points, but that government
order forbids shipping men outside of
q 2O0-mlle zone

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-No I'M
usually acute condition of unemploy-
ment exists in California. This state
ment is based on report Of com
mittee appointed by The state Legisla-
ture to Investigate labor conditions,
which has just been filed.
The committee finds that the condi-
ton Of unemployment in various Cali
iornIa districts are Approximately the
same as in any year when there is not
unusual Industrial activity. In adj
atlon to this report, the state employ
aent bureau superintendent, G. B. Sex
Ton, reports 10000 unemployed men in
San Francisco and vicinity and 5000
IN the Sacramento and San JOAQUIN
valleys. There Is no present unemplov-
. hent problem IN Southern California.
anticipating. however, that there is
possibility of the situation becoming
acute in the future, the state is con-
sioer.ng the creation of an emergency

preston certain necessary construction
projects, including the DEVELOPMENT of

Will Tour g. s. in Endeavor to
Promote Closer Trade Rela-
tons With United States

NEW ORLEANS, April 5.The Chill
can Commercial Mission to the United
States, appointed to promote closer
trade relations between tho two coun-
tries, is expected to arrive at New Or
leans on Monday. The mission is COM
posed OF three distinguished citizens Of
Chill who are widely known in South
America

former president Of the Council Of
Ministers, former Minister Of Foreign
Relations and member Of the perma-
nent court of arbitration at The

His colleagues are Kuan Enrique TOGO

Chill. He will go to New York on Sat
urday to arrange for the reception
there of the members
In discussing the objects of the

Minnesota Has 10000

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April g.
Unofficial estimates show 10000 unem-

based on government figures for Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Duluth show a
smaller total. The situation is improv-
ing in the smaller towns. 1t is station
airy in the cities. Best opinion is that
the number Of unemployed will be
somewhat greater before it lessons,
but that when the turn comes it will
be marked and that by June ] the sit

that in Minneapolis the actual number
Of unemployed amounts to $500. Other
opinion, unofficial but considered reli-
able, offered without desire to criticise
or to be unfair, but in the belief that
the United States employment Office
does not come in contact with the full
situation, is that this is an underes-

All Western cities are expecting a

there are many signs that it is coming.
1t is probable that the unofficial figures

Bored for Water, Found Oil

Two prospectors, operating a placer
mine in California, were dismayed one
day not long ago TO find the spring
dried up from which they obtained
water However, holes drilled near by
started the water flowing again and to
increase the flow they bored into the
hillsides twenty feet. This gave them
enough water to resume operations.
On returning to work the next morn
ing what was their establishment to
find 2-inch stream Of crude oil flow
ing from the bore. A dam was hastily
built to conserve the oil until pipes
could be laid to nearby town. Later
bores were driven sixty and 15O feet
into the Hill and now the flow is one
hundred barrels a day The oil is light,
with very little water. In the tempo

Rhode Island Hopes
For improvement Soon

Special Correspondence
PROVIDENCE, April With war
work plants either entirely suspended
or employing only fraction of their
former help and textile mills in many
instances running on part time, the
unemployment problem in Rhode Island
- becoming more serious daily. The
Federal employment bureau, under di-
rection OF Captain George II. Webb, is
working in conjunction with local
agencies
"ithln the past three weeks the Lord
Construction Company, the Bethlehem
steel Company and the Alberthaw
Company, operating ship outfitting and
construction plants at Fields Pbnt,
in this city, have laid off between bOn
and 600 men. Mayor Gamer made n
special trip to Washington in an en-
deaYor to have the Federal Shipping
Board continue operation Of the two
local plants until conditions become
more settled. He could gain no defi-
mite promise, however, that this would
be done.
In many mills the textile strike was
welcomed by the owners, who thns
saw way clear to close their plants
Many granted the demands, but imme
diately announced that their milia
would operate on part time only.
The jcwelry business, whose product
IL claseed as luxury, has been the
hardest hit OF any local INDUSTRIES. Al.
though n Sigh. improvement Ia seen
at present.
Cnrtaiment of government work al
the torpedo station in Newport has
also had it's effect In that city. Mavnr
soucy Of Woonsocket has consulted

Mines on Half Time Create

things considered, the industrial situa-
ton in Scranton and vicinity is good"
said Charles S. Seamans, director Of
the United States Employment Bureau
for this district. 81 estimate that
there are about 1000 male and fe~
male unemployed here, but we are
cutting down that figure daily. Our
bureau placed so week before last, 100
the week before that and 215 the week
before that
Most of the anthracite mines in and
about Scranton are working only half
time at present. lnasmuch as there
are some $4,000 men and boys so en-
ployed working but three days a
week, it can be said, from dollar and
cents standpoint, that there are ap-
proximately 1880 men and boys I'M
employed about the colleries.

Reports From a Dozen
Cities Show That the
Unemployment Situation
Is Now Being Relieved
New Building Fl clip $
In Some Cities, Where the
Problem Is Still Serious,
This May Prove Solution
Nc,v York Tribune
InhOr Burfuu


Investigations by Tribune represent
stives in dozen industrial cities show
that the crisis in unemployment is
passing, and that spring and summer
building and renewed business activ-
its should remove the last possibilities
of suffering and unrest due to the
rehabilitation of soldiers and war
workers.
Reports from six of the twelve cities
show decrease in the number of I'M
employed, as compared with The Trib-
une's investigation six weeks ago.
Nine out of twelve report that unem-
uloyment is no greater than in normal
peace times.
In some cities-St. Louis ond Provi-
ience, for unemployment is
still on the increase and reaching Sc
rious proportions.
Reports agree that a revival in build
ing throughout the country is to be ex-
pected in the spring, and this should
absorb large numbers of men. In Ind
lana it is estimated that s5,000000,000
will be spent on building and roadmak-
ing during the spring and summer. In
Boston architects, almost without ex-
ception, are extremely busy, and the
Federal employment director regards
the industry as Il barometer. Mime
apolis expects building boom and
real estate revival, and Pittsburgh
confidently awaits the launching soon
on large scale of house building
campaign
In the East, where the sudden closing
of munitions plants and shipyards in
tensiied the normal midwinter unem-
ployment, it is expected that by June
/, or the latest by July, most Of the
unemployed will have been absorbed.
The South reports a shortage of ag-
ricultural labor. In the Pittsburgh and
Detroit sections manufacturing plants
are resuming.
