STATE JOBLESS
NUMBERS GROW
Reduction in Employment in All
Industries is Per Cent; Vari-
Gus Causes are Given.

Chicago, Jan. 18.-FOr the third
consecutive month, employment in
Illinois industries in December de-
clined from the preceding month,
according to the January employ
ment bulletin, the monthly publica-
ton of the general advisory board
of. the Illinois department of la
Dor.
Signed reports from 731 firms in
all parts of the state show a re-
duction that varies from 3.3 per
cent in the metal, machinery and
conveyances group, to 1874 per cent
in the stone, clay and glass pro-
ducts group. sThe reduction in the
volume of employment in all in
dustries amounts to per cent.
The drop in the number of en-
ployes in down-state cities was
more pronounced than in Chicago.
According to the bulletin. a re
duction in employment at this time
should give no alarm. Seasonality,
taking of inventories and the gen
eral mildness of the winter, which
has diminished the demand for fuel,
are given as causes for unemploy-
ment

ANYBODY WANT TO
BUY ELEPHANTS?
SEE KING BORIS

Sofia, Jan. 1S.-King Boris of
Bulgaria is the modern man with
an elephant on his hands" and he
wants to sell part of his private
menagerie to an American zoologi-
cal garden or circus. In particular
he would like to dispose of two
elephants and several fine bufaloes
which are now in the grounds of
the summer palace near Sofia.
The menagerie was established
bv former Emperor Ferdinand, and
the appetites of the elephants and
buffaloes are so great that King
Boris is hard pressed to feed them
out of his slender income. The ele-
phants alone consume grain and
hay which costs more than the out

LAYS JOB LACK

SAGS AND BOOMS
Speaker Tells Con
tractors Way to
Prosperity.

Cleveland, O., Jan 1S.-Unem-
ployment may be eliminated and
business booms and depressions
controlled by a ponsolidation OF
management in industry, J. Parke
Charming of New York told mem
bers of the national convention of
the Associated General Contrac-
tors today.
Mr. Charming is vice president
of the American Engineering Coun-
Gil and chairman of the councils
committee ON elimination of waste
in industry.
1T is unfortunate that IN. a
country like the United States we
should have idle men," he said,
when we have such rich resources
and such demands for finished
goods. A large proportion of this
unemployment rs due to booms and
depressions-
Coal Mining Example.
THE way in which the owners
in industry may be OF value in the
elimination of waste, is in stabiH
izing production. They are the
per sons, more than any other, who
can prevent or, at least, reduce the
peaks and valleys of booms and
-depressions+t"
He cited soft coal mining as an
example OF a poorly organized in
dustry.
1T is OVER equipped" he said,
both as regards plant and per
sonnei, and the soft coal miner. in
stead of being able to get 800 days
or more work, as he should, gets,
l believe, about 100, and this means
that there are altogether too many
men ready to mine coal, and that
part Of them should be diverted To
other Industries and the balance
assured regular and continuous
work"

BLAME IN BANK q.
THEFT ASSUMED
BY MEININGER
St. Louis Cashier Says
He's Only One Re-
sponsibie.

ST. Louis, Mo, Jan. 1S.-Arthnr
o. Meininger, indicted cashier OF
the Night & Day Bank, claims he Is
solely responsible for the banks
condition, according to an an
nouncement early today by ]. G.
Hughes, state finance commission
er, with whom Meininger worked
at the bank last night in an effort
to clear q number of transactions
involving the shortage of 1854 900
in the banks accounts. He is at
liberty under bonds of $4,000.
Meininger said he never consult
ed any Of the board OF directors
about the transactions, which re-
suited in the closing of the bank
on Jan 6, the day after Meininger
disappeared. The cashier surren-
dered on the advice of attorneys in
Belleville, ILL.,, on Monday. Accord
ing to Hughes, Meininger declared
he knew the shortage was too big
to cover up, and he decided to
leave.
sss,0O0 For Whisky.
Meininger, Commissioner Hughes
said, gave him some cash slips
which showed he had $68,000 for
700 warehouse receipts for whisky.
The receipts had been discovered N
a safety bcx of the cashier, but no
price had been learned by bank ex-
aminers. Additional cash slips
show amounts advanced to several
automobile accessory companies,
which have been taken over and
may be salvaged, Commissioner
Hughes said. The shortage of
$754 900 is practically accounted
for, Mr.. Hughes said, following the
explanation of the cash slips by the
cashier.
Meininger, who had been en-
gagged in the bank for 10 years, ad-
vancing from various subordinate
positions to that of cashier, was
paid $1,000 a year.

BY A. n. WFLT0N-

Chicago, Jan. 18.-There has
been light decrease in food prices
TO the consumer and the steel bus
mess is gaining slowly, the change
IN the latter being more along sea-
sonal lines than in sudden increase
in demand Economists are strug-
Cling to find some justification for
present prices of commodities. Rail-
road men in one breath declare the
roads cannot operate on any sort
OF a profit if freight rates are re-
duced and in the next assert that
high rates are holding business
back Prices are coming down,
however
Fresh eggs are to be had at SO
cents a dozen wholesale here. But
ter never was so cheap here before
in the month of January and beef
is below pre-war prices except in
the retail meat markets. The ma
jority OF items seem to be coming
down in price except rents and
taxes
Buyers Of drygoods are here in
large numbers. They are displaying
confidence in the future and are
buying for spring and summer with
more freedom than they have shown
for a long time. Bargain hunters
from big cities east and west are
fiocking here and the larger depart
ment stores are seeking distress
stocks Of goods. Twenty-one buy
ers from one Boston store were
recently sent here for such stocks
consisting of seconds, samples, dis
continued lines and surplusses.
Cash is paid for all such goods.
BY L. V. SHANNON.
New Orleans, Jan. 1S.-Reduc-
tions in freight rates are proving a
decided aid to the commerce of this
port. Imports and exports are in
creasing steadily. The cheap rate,
amounting to 20 per cent less than
the rail charges, made by the gov
ernment barge line on the Missis-
sippi to interior points, has divert
ed heavy freight from the Orient
and all parts of the world to this
port. The receipts of this barge line
last month were double those of
November and much of the increase
came from foreign shipments. The
placing of New Orleans on a parity
with New York for shipments to
the Paclhc coast by way or the
Panama canal also has attracted
large amounts of heavy freight,
especially steel products here and
these have come in by the river
route. AS a result of these activi-
ties labor here is well employed
and Workingmen are proving the
sustaining factor to the retail
trade.
Jobbers report merchants at in
terror points still unwilling to
place future orders until they get 4
better idea of next seasons crops,
but sales for immediate delivery
are running well ahead of those in
January, 1921.
