THE UNEMPLOYED
ARMY IS LARGE
LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF DE-
CREASE IN SPECIFIC INDUS
TRIES OCCURRED IN AUTO
BUSINESS.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 27.-The
number of persons employed in in
dustry the first of this month num-
bered 3,473,466 less than a year
ago, the department of labor's en-
ployment service announced tonight
on the basis of first nation~wfde
survey
Director j. e. Densnore said this
figure did not necessarily represent
the number of persons actually un-
employed, as it was quite possible"
some had found employment in agri-
cultural or other pursuits not COW
cred by the survey.
On the other hand, some officials
believed the army of unemployed
possibly was larger. as no effort was
made to ascertain the reduction of
persons employed in pursuits other
than those classed under ''mechani-
cal industry"
The figures represented a reduc-
ton of 36.9 per cent in the workers
employed in industry as compared
with last January and it was an
nounced that they were based ION
the concensus of figures from neu-
trail bodies, state labor department.
state commissioners of manufactur-
ers, state and municipal employment
services, workmen's compensation
bureaus, employers and employees
organiza tions, and all other sources
competent to furnish authoritative
information.
Michigan led in proportional re-
duction with 80 per cent and Ohio,
and Indiana followed with reduc-
ton of SO per cent each. Next came
Illinois with A per cent; Connecti-
cut with 43 per cent; Massachusetts,
with 3S per cent; Wisconsin. 30 per
cent; New York, % per cent, and
New Jersey, % per cent.
The largest percentage of reduc-
ton in specific industries. SO per
cent, occurred IN the automobile and
accessories industries and this was
taken to account largely for the
great reduction in employment in
Michigan. This industry, the an
nouncement said, employed about .
per cent of the total workers in all
industry a year ago.
Second In the reduction OF en-
ployes was the building trades with
approximately So per cent. Last JAN
uary about IL per cent of the total
industrial workers was employed in
this industry.
A reduction of 35.5 per cent was
noted in the textile and related In
dustries; 35 per cent in leather and
its products, and 80 per cent in lum'
Der and house furniture. The reduc
ton in metals and products. machin
cry, electrical goods and foundr,
products was sos per cent: in pack
| ing and food products. 10 per cent
/ and in clay, glass. cement and
stone products. 10 per cent.

a hundred autos were parked in and

RAMONA To HAVE

TOWN TO NORTHWEST To
ERECT $3.50, 900 HIGH SCHOOL
AND NEW RESIDENCES.


nestled in the center of a flourish
ing and prosperous farming section
in the northwest part of this county
and located a trifle. over twelve
miles from Madison has caught the
spirit of enterprise and will forge
ahead next spring in building pro-
jects that mean an expenditure OF
nearly s175,000 A new modern
high school building will be the first
large contract TO be awarded. The
outlay in that direction is estimated
at $150,000 and beside this about
ten or twelve new residences are to
be started as soon in the spring as
ground can be broken.
Education and expanding business
are the two chief factors in Ra-
mona's community life. Around the
first there centers a spirit of prog
ress that wishes TO measure up the
excellence attained in other COM
munities nearby. Ramona people
are proud of their schools and have
reached a point where a new high
school building is felt to be impera-
tive. A site has already been select
ed and transferred for educational
purpose and before next summer liz
much on the wane construction
work, it is hoped, will be quite well
advanced.
To the end that the Ramona
school board might be familiar with
designs for plant fitted to their
needs and within the amount they
feel able to invest, that body spent
several hours at the new Oriand con-
solidated plant yesterday investigat-
ing conveniences. equipment, trans
portation, and so on, with a view OF
Incorporating into their proposed
structure whatever might be passed
upon as entirely suitable. The Ra-
mona delegation, consisting of d. J.
O'Connell, George Stewart, State
Representative ]. M. Muggli, MEM
bers of the board and a committee,
including Mrs. Clark Collier, Plazi
Derungs and III. Casanova made a
thorough inspection and will report
at a later date.
While State School Inspector
Smith was at Ramona last week he
officially condemned the high school
building now in use thus paving the
way for a well equipped modern
structure.
Besides the persons representing
the Ramona board and committee
mentioned above there also present
at the Orland celebration w. A Do
novan, w. G. Mock, c. Cavegilli and
wife, Mrs. Mat Fazendin and Miss
Savage, the latter instructure Of

Ramona is rapidly coming to the
front, particularly in her school ac-
tivities. They have q well organized
basketball team whose success mer-
it's attention. This team beat Ma
Olson In two contests and they are
now planning a tour over the state.
The team leaves on Monday for out
side engagements. Their record of
Is games won this season justifies
local pride in their achievements.
Not only will Ramona erect a new
high school building but there Is
also talk of a parochial school.
Should the latter materialize much
more money is sure TO be literally
spent in construction work. Surely
