speaker. Mr.. Brock is considered oGo
of the best informed labor men in the
country. and the committee feels hon
ored that he has consented to be here.
His address will undoubtedly be very
interesting and instructive.

for the little folks. He is planning a
considerable program of races and

any boat racing or any other water
sports that could be held during the

The committee decided to ask Com
pany b. Troop b, the University regi-
ments and the Boy Scouts to partici

a sham battle in the afternoon and
full plans for this event will be an.
nounced at the meeting Sunday. The
committee had tried to arrange a con-
test between the three fire depart
ments, but ii appeared this could net
be consummated on account of objec-
tions of the Champaign department.
Chief Ely was of the opinion that he
could not spare sufficient apparatus

take the place of this event If it can
be arranged

UNEMPLOYMENT SHOWS
INCREASE OF IL PER CENT
FOR MONTH OF JULY
(By The Federated Press

WASHINGTON.-Unemployment In
creased another IL per cent in July
in the larger industrial plants
throughout the country. according to
the report just issued by Director

total decrease in employment for the
past six mouths of 73 per cent. Tho
figures are based on returns from 1,42S
firms in So cities, employing normally
500 or more persons each.
Thirty-eight of the 65 cities reported
less jobs in these big plants in July
than in June. Youngstown had % per
cent. indianapolis 106 per cent, Grand

There is an almost unprecedented

Where there has been improvement
in conditions, the report says, it is
