INCREASE IN LABOR
AND INDUSTRIES ON
UPWARD TREND

Washington. Nov. 3O.-Virtually
all basic industries in the United
States are showing increased pro-
ductive capacity. according to the
Federal Reserve Board. which, in a
review of business and trade con-
ditions, made public today, reported
generally improved situation in the
American business world.
The improved conditions, accord
ing to the review. are reflected, first.
in a greatly increased employment
of labor In industrial esta Adjustments,
and, second. in an unprecedented
demand for freight cars. Reports
showed that, on November /, the
greatest shortage of freight cars ever
developed, was recorded, while i'm
mediately before and after that date.
the car loadings were maintained
almost at that maximum.
Mill consumption of textiles was
heavy, the review stated, and added
that the mill requirements of cotton
continued on an increase which late
in October and early in November
reached the highest in the last two
years. Silk and wooden mills, the
review disclosed were near capacity
operation in the face of a virtually
unchanged wholesale market and
seasonal declines in some lines of
dry goods.
THE increased production" the
raVinW riyo6
companied by a continued increase
in the volume of employment in in
dustrial establishments. The aver
age pay per worker also was larger
but this was due in many cases to
increased hours of labor. Railroad
repair shops and equipment facto-
ries made the largest additions to
their forces and shortage of skilled
labo" was reported in steel mills and
metal mines and by building con-
tractors"
Despite the increased business &C.
tivity. the board noted no increase
in loans and discounts by banks in
the leading cities which are men,
bers of the Federal Reserve system.
In fact. according to the review,
loans and discounts by banks report
ing showed a small decrease between
October Is apd December Is. There
were, however. small increases in
loans recorded in the Southern and
Western districts and in New Eng
land, but these increases were more
than offset by reductions in loans in
the other sections, particularly New
York and Chicago.

of Albert Touchette in a grocery
store holdup last night in Black
stone, Mass, today made good his
escape into the neighboring woods.
A fire alarm was sounded and riot
cali sent in summoning all available
police officers, but Guilbault had not
bee- captured early tonight.
Touchette was shot and fatally
wounded last night, when bandit
manded money. The bandit fired
twice, both shots taking effect, and
Touchette returned the fire. MasSa-
chuSettS state police conducted a
vigilant but unsuccessful search
throughout the town and neighbour
ing woods for the gunman, but to-
day the Woonsocket police received
tip that a man had been seen limp
ing into a house on Burnside ave-
nue., Woonsocket, and, acting on the
belief that the gunman had been
wounded by bullet from Touchettc's
gun, they surrounded the house.
Guilbault, who was seated at a
Thanksgiving dinner in his home
when the Gordon was drawn about
the place, ran to the rear of the
house, leaped through a closed WIN
dow and almost before the police
had realized what had happened
was out of sight. One officer fired q
shot which went wild. The German

today for the occasion, Hoped after
the fugitive, but a few hours later
loped back alone.

but remained at the girls home all
night. The girl corroborated this
statement.
The holdup and shooting last
night came as 4 climax to series of
robberies by armed bandits in this
vicinity recently.
The city Of Woonsocket was
thrown into a furore of excitement
by the case. Twice police received
reports that man answering to the
description of the man wanted, had
been seen at different points in the
city. but the tips did not bring re-
suits. The search, with every pos
