IDLENESS ON INCREASE
Survey Shows Employment De-
creased 20 Per Cent in June.
Low Value of Farm Products and High
Cost of Construction Are Leading
Factors In Situation.

Washington-A decrease in employ
ment of 2.9 per cent during June, as
compared with May, is indicated by
q survey made by the Department OF
Labor reports from 1928 firms, en-
ploying normally 100000 persons.
The decrease since January in these
establishments, situated in So principal
industrial centers, has been 6.2 per
cent, a statement issued Friday said.
All industries reported decreased en-
plOyment except those engaged in the
manufacture of food products, textiles,
leather, liquors and beverages, stone.
clay, glass and tobacco.
Detailed examination Of the present
returns indicates clearly the fundamen-
tai causes of the protracted industrial
depression, and the mounting tide Of
unemployment" the statement de-
clared. Continued unsatisfactory con-
ditions Of transportation, with freight
rates in many cases considered almost
prohibitive; lack of anything like nor
NAL foreign market.
Reasons Are Given.
The present low value of farm pro-
ducts, stagnation of iron and steel, high
costs of construction and the general
dullness of the retail trade stand out
prominently as leading factors in the
situation"
While there still is an almost nation
wide housing shortage, the statement
said, the only resumption Of building
operations noted vas been on restrict
ed scale.
Industry generally is optimistic"
the survey continued, "and while the
likelihood of dull summer in almost
all lines is fully recognized. the tenden-
cy is to count on improvement by fall
