State Figures for August
Show Gain in Only Few
Industries; More Work
ers in Textile Trades

ALBANY, Sept. 6.--Although some
signs Of industrial Improvement were
apparent In the August reparts on en-
ployment in New York state factories,
few industrica showed any consistent
changes from the situation in July, ac-
cording 10 Henry D. Sayer, Industrial
Commissioner, State Department of
Labor, in making public statement
based on the preliminary reports for
last month. Most Of these reports
covered the week ending August 20,
period rsthe~ early to reveal whether
she usual fall revival in manufacturing
activity 10 to materialize this year.
Increased activity in August occurred
chiefly in the preparation Of food prod
ucts, in textiles, In paper msnufAetur-
ing, and in the shoe and leather goods
industries. Some of the metal indus
tries showed an Improvement from July
to August; others showed further re-
ductions in employment.
The textile industry as a whole
showed an increase in employ
among the varfoug branches. A re-
duction occurred in the manufacture
of silk goods, and number of knitting
mills reported less workers employed
in August than In July. The knit
goods Industry as whole showed an
increase, however. Cotton mills re-
ported a marked increase in employ
ment in August, and wooden mills and
carpet and rug factories reported a
slight gain in employment.
Increased employment occurred in
the shoe industry from July to
August. but the gain was not uniform;
q few factories reported fewer en-
ployees in August. A number Of fac
tories making miscellaneous leather
goods. such as card cases, handbags,
travelling bags, suit cases, ETC.. re-
ported an increase in working forces
from July to August. The rubber
goods industry showed slight in
crease In employment.
The reduction in xhe activity Of the
metal products industries. which has
been OF considerable proportions during
recent months, appears to have been
checked inAugust The iron and steel in
dustry as a whole employed more work
ers in August than in July. Some plants
reported further reductions. Reduced
employment occurred in the manu-
facture Of sheet metal products, hard
ware, firearms, machinery, electrical
goods, meters and typewriters, and, In
aome cases in the production Of auto
mobiles and accessories. A few auto
mobile factories showed increased ac-
tivisy.
