perience rapid advance in industrial
propriety.
In many sections of the country build
ing operations were said to be reflected
in the employment increases in the luTn-
Der of industry. The building boom con-
tinues unabated, it was asserted.
Forty-Four cities out of sixty-five COW

employment increases for the month.
Georgia reported improvement in the
employment situation in iron, steel, lum-
Der, leather, paper. printing. beverage

ported shortage of workmen, and phos-
phate mines and plants showed increased
employment, while much farm labor nc
