TOWARD SUCCESS
Survey Shows Employment
Generally Increasing
CITIES GIVE GOOD REPORT
Harvest Fields Need Men--Optimism
Said To Pervade Nearly Every
Industry In All Sections
OF u. S.

Washington.-The United States is
"striding vigorously toward industrial
prosperity" according to the economic
summary for the month of June, just
issued by the United States employ.
ment service of the Department of
Labor.
Employment is increasing. the sur
vey said, despite unsettled conditions
in the coal fields and cotton textile
industry and the railroad contro-
versies.
Of the 65 leading cities OF the coun-
try, SO reported increased employ
ment, while 13 reported decreased EN-
ployment during June.
A noteworthy feature of the survey
the Department said, was that all in.
dustries but the stone, clay and glass
products indicated increases in EN-
ployment. In these three industries
it was said, the decrease was largely
due to seasonal layoffs.
Director General Jones of the EN-
ployment Service declared the "coun-
try is steadily but surely forging its
way toward a period of industrial
prosperity in which it is possible that
the labor supply will not equal the
demand" A note of optimism, he
added, pervades practically every in
dustry in every section of the country
The survey indicated, according to
Mr.. Jones, that building activities were
developing so that shortage of
skilled building craftsmen was be-
coming apparent in many sections of
the country.
The hot weather was reported to
have fastened wheat cutting in Kan.
sas and Nebraska, which, coupled
with transportation difficulties, has
caused a temporary shortage in har-
vest fields of the Middle West"
Many difficulties, the department
further stated, best the handling of
the labor supply for the harvest sea-
son in the big wheat belt in Texas,
Oklahoma, North Dakota and South
Dakota. The advance Of cutting dates
occasioned by ripening of wheat
through excessive heat, shortage of
men and many other obstacles, it was
said, has made the task of the United
States Farm Labor Bureau in handling
the employment situation one of the
most difficult in its history. Through
transportation difficulties the north
and northwest sections of Kansas had
found it difficult to obtain sufficient
men. the Department said, adding that
"it is not so much question" The
bureau was said to be receiving tele-
grams daily from Lincoln, Hastings
and Syracuse, Neb., asking for hun
dreds of men.

Assassination Of
Rathenau.

Washington.-The fall of the Ger

stringent measures have been enacted
for the protection of the Republican
regime, the Commerce Department
was advised in cablegram from Com.
mercial Attache Herring at Berlin.
The political crisis resulting from
the assassination of Foreign Minister
Rathenau, Mr.. Herring reported, has
aggravated the period of currency de-
preston inaugurated by the failure of
the foreign loan negotiations and the
feeling is now general that Germany
faces grave political complications
with the fall in exchange, which
dropped to the lowest level in history.
The consideration by the Reichstag

Berlin printers has resulted in the sus.

THE passage by the Reichstag of a

the assessment of large quantities of

preciably under the market level has
aroused bitter opposition from the
Agrarians and the National party
which threatens the fall of the govern

COURT FRoWNs UPON
JURORS SAMPLING EVIDENCE

Tallahassee, Fla.-Jurors sitting
in liquor cases in Florida in future
are expected to sidestep invita-
tions to taste the liquid evidence,
for the State Supreme Court
opines that such a practice may be
a violation of the Volstead Act.
The courts opinion was ex-
pressed in lengthy decision
quashing the judgment of a coun-
ty court and affirmation by the Cir
cult Court, because the defendant
was convicted ON evidence OBJ
tanned without a search warrant.
When the defendant was on trial
in the County Court members of
the jury were permitted to sip the
evidence.
In discussing this phase after
severely criticising the obtaining
of evidence in an Illegal manner,
the decision said:
Even where all the jurors drink
of the liquor, this is very ques-
tionable proceeding, and may be
violation of the Volstead Act"
