FIRST DECREASE IN
JOBLESS REPORTED

For the first time since the signing
OF the armistice. unemployment has
decreased, according to figures wired
the Department of Labor Unemploy-
ment for this week totals $4,000 as
against 36T, 900 the preceding week
This reduction, it was learned,
while perhaps only temporary, is
looked upon as significant, taken to-
gether with the fact that the number
of cities heretofore reporting a sur
plus OF labor, has been decreased and
the number of cities reporting sup
ply equal to demand, has increased.
While some officials claim that Sec
retary Wilson is too optimistic"
and that his statement that things
would pick up four months after the
signing of the armistice, which is
about this date. their predictions that
the unemployment situation would
grow worse and last until the fall,
seem to have proven false.
The particular incident leading TO
the reduction this week was a re-
vision OF first figures sent in from
Cleveland. that city reporting 10000
unemployed as against $4,000 last
week.
The unemployed area is still con-
fined to the northeast with the ex-
ception o0 Seattle, which reports
1900 striking shipysrd workers and
5000 other unemployed, Other cities
marked as dangerous are Buffalo, De-
trOit, Cleveland, Chicago. and sew
eral smaller towns.
Other than Seattle. the Pacific
coast is reported as fair"
