Preparing for Fun Speed Ahead

n ESPITE the fact that the Department Of
II Labor finds that unemployment in
creased during the month of December by u
percentage fixed at Al per cent, the accom-
panying statement that manufacturing dis
tricts in nearly all parts OF the country ex-
Fect material Improvement of the situation
within the next thirty days takes some of
the encouragement out of the report In
ALL laps enterprises, usually employing
100000 workers, reported forces less by
74,267 on December 81 than on November
30. There were thirty-six cities and indus
trial centers from which an increase i'll I'M
employment was reported. while in twenty
nine additional men we're put to work
That there is no occasion for pessimsm
a consideration Of several factors not un-
usual at this season Of the year will prove.
1t will be remembered that statistics pre-
viously reported show decrease of unem-
ployment within the past few months Of APP
proximately 100000 workers. This de-
crease was due to the organized cooperative
efforts that followed the conference on un-
employment by which the homogeneous of
industrial plants throughout the country
were induced to increase their forces he
yond their actual needs at the time in order
to encourage the movement thus innugu-
rated. Toward the end OF the year, how
ever. IL is Gus, omary for most of these in
duStrial concerns to slow down In their work
with view to taking n survey Of present
requirements and future prospects for bust
ness. The fact that they are optimistic as
to the future. means that soon they will be
recruiting their forces for full speed ahead
Moreover, it is found that the lowest ebb
in employment Is in agricultural and allied
industries and outdoor construction. This
condition at this season applies in normal
years as we'll as during the abnormal ones
Winter weather necessarily brings about
suspension Of farm operations to n very
great extent, and the dullncss In allied in
Gnstrics is in part due To the sympathetic
reaction upon their operations With the
first appearance of spring, operations on the
farms will become active and tho pressure
upon unemployment in the cities will be
greatly relieved by the demand for farm
labor. Coincident with the renewal of farm
| activities. related industries will take on
new life and call back workers laid of dur
ing the winter period OF duIlness
In financial circles there is n general feel
ing OF optimism. ami this feeling is steadily
extending 10 all lines OF business, thereby
bcgctting confidence in the future which
Is bound 10 reflect itself in larger enter
