SHOWS SLIGHT INCREASE
Southern States in Best Condition,
Several Places Reporting
Shortage of Labor.

A slight increase in unemployment
throughout the country is shown by re-
ports for the past week received by the
federal employment service from sixty

by thirty-six cities. a shortage Of labor by
seven and an equality of supply and de-
mand by seventeen. The number of
unemployed in the cities reporting in-
creased by 1000 during the week.
Officials of the bureau announce that
it had been impossible to obtain as ex-
tensive survey of the labor situation as
during the past few months because of
the curtailment of it's facilities resulting
from the failure of Congress to appro-
pirate a fund for the continuation of
the service. Reports were formerly re-
ceived by the bureau from more than
100 cities.
New Hampshire and Vermont show
ed an equality of supply and demand:
Massachusetts,. a surplus. principally
in textile industries; Maine. an in
creasing surplus, and Connecticut a
surplus in most cities. All New York
state, excepting the territory about
jYonkers reported a surplus.

Jersey and Ohio were too meager to

equality of labor. while several other
Illinois cities reported a. surplus, a

HAYS TO KEEP0FF
Faction DISPUTE
Denies Published Story That
He Will Figure in TangIe
at Capitol.
SON ILL, HE GOES HOME

Made cut Of the whole cloth and
absolutely without foundation" Is the
characterization given at republican
national headquarters Of tho pub
lished statements that Chairman Haya
of the national committee had taken
part in tho factional trouble in the
House organization over the proposed
expansion Of the steering committee
er the republicans for the next Con-
gress.
1t is stated authoritatively that
Chairman Hays, who yesterday con-
ferred with several republican leaders
in the Senate and House, took the po-
sition that as chairman of the ma
tional committee he would be totally
unauthorized to mix in the settlement
of a question so peculiarly within the
sole jurisdiction Of the republican
membership.
Mr.. Hays conference. it is said. had
to do with general subjects of legis-
alton likely to come before Congress
in which the party in national sense
is interested. and he made it plain
that in his talks with repub
Ilcan senators ana representatives ne
proposes to devote himself to party
affairs in the broadcast sense. and not
to intrude the ma atienal management
upon the reorganization of the House.
MIR. Hays left Washington this aft
erpoon for Indianapolis, being called
home by the serious illness of his son.
Mr.. Hays Is expected to be back IN
Washington within a week. and at
that time Representative Mondell Of
W wyoming, selected by the resublican
committee on committees to be House
leader in the next Congress, expects
to confer with the party campaign
manager regard party policies.
In this conHec N, republican lead
ers say, 1T should be made chear that
the steering committee Of the House
will not dictate the party policies. but
rather constitute the agency through
which those policies are to be exc
cuted in the House. 1t is explained
that the republican caucus is the only
agency that will decide party policies,
ard that, while the steering commit
tee has important work to perform,
the determination Of party policies is
not part Of these duties. The steering
committee now Is planning a program
to care for the more evident pieces Of
legislation that fit in with the chief
and well recognized aims Of the re-
publican party for the incoming Con-
gress.
