Reports From 65 Large
Cities Show Increase
In Employment
CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Industrial Situation Shows Much I'm
provement as Cities Heed Presi-
dents Appeal.

Washington, Oct THE steady
flow of monthly reports from the
department of Labor showing con-
slant additions to the ranks of the
unemployed was broken today when
the report for September appeared
and told a story Of men and women
going back to jobs-slowly, but over
so widespread territory and in 50
lnany lines Of industry as to indicate
that the swing back to prosperity
actually is under way.
Baltimore was one Of the cities
reporting increased employment. In
percentage of increase it ranked
third with Kansas City. Toledo re-
Ported an increase in September
over August of 24.l per cent; Port
land, Ore, was second, with 2i.7 per
cent. increase and Baltimore report
ed an increase Of 109 per cent. The
number who went back to work in
Baltimore for the firms reporting 70
the Department of Labor was 2,741.
Other leading cities showing in
creases CT employment were Mem
This, Tenn, 80 per cent; Minneapo-
lis. 50 per cent; Pittsburgh, per
cent; Youngstown, Ohio, 70 per
cent. Chicago reported an increase
Of LIS per cent, and New York
showed decrease Of % per cent.
The figures of the department d.
not show the entire movement, for
trey are taken from reports made
by ,42S firms in So principal cities.
each of which usually employees more
TAIN 500 persons. Taking these re-
ports. the Department of Labor finds
that September 80 these concerns
mad 1860 more employees on their
rayrolls than they carried on Au-
gust 81, an increase of 1.2 per cent
Of the 65 cities covered in the survey.
IS were IL the list Of those which
showed additional employment.
The department goes on to say
that the increase in employment con-
firms the trend observed in August,
indicating that the industrial pendu-
lum is definitely on the upward
trend" The most marked changes
occurred in the South and West, due
to advances in cotton and agrlcul-
tural activities, but the industrial
districts of the East also made prog
ress. leading in textiles, iron, steel
and railroads, while building opera
tons continued actively, and showed
signs Of maintaining its pace until
severe weather sets in. The dark spot
found by the Labor Department is
the probability that agricultural
workers will join its ranks of the
unemployed in the cities during Oc-
tober unless buffer employment Is
provided.
The survey does not cover fully
what has happened in the smaller
concerns. However, it IS reported
from Baltimore that % firms en-
ploying less than 500 persons each
report an increase in employees Of
224, or more than two persons each,
and similar reports came from Other
localities.

Alexandria High School football
team will meet the Episcopal High
School tomorrow. The game will
take place on Hoxton Field, at the
Episcopal High School, at $3.50 r.
H., and will be one of the most in
tcresting athletic contests in years.

ways been noted as one of the best
prep school teams in Virginia.
Alexandria High is confident Of being
able to conquer the Episcopalians,
as the local team is one Of the best
in years. Athletic relations be-

off nine years ago. and it is believed
this game will go far toward ce-
mcnting cordial relations between the
two schools. The game will be ref

ether officials vii be selected from
equally prominent athletes.
There will be no charge for ad-
mission and the public is invited to
