TRADE ACTIVITY
HOLDS ITS OWN
No Decrease in Employment
Situation Noted in State
During August
By GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth AmboY Evening News)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-Trade
and industry are experiencing such
activity throughout New Jersey that
the usual midsummer dizziness was
scarcely appreciable in the general
employment situation during Au-
gust.
Generally speaking, industrial en-
ployment in New Jersey and
throughout the country today in on
q satisfactory and sound basis, the
labor department reports, and the
outlook for the future is n of the
brightest in recent years.
The continuation of the tremen-
dous building program in nearly all
the larger centers was one of the
chief features of the employment
report for August. In scarcely any
locality was there any noticeable
abatement in building activity, and
vast numbers of building tradesmen
and common laborers are at work on
projecs of sufficient magnitude to
insure permanent employment Tor
some time to .ome.
Activity continued also with no
sign of a letup on the construction
of state and county highways. Large
numbers of both skilled and I'M
skilled laborers are employed on
this work, ana IN some SECTIONS
there is a demand for this class OF
laborers which is not being met.
The shortage of farm help which
has been serious for several months
shows some signs of easing up.
There is still persistent demand
however, and in some sections the
call for farm help far exceeds the
available supply.
The industries showing the great
est increased activity in August
were stone, clay and glass products;
tobacco manufacturing, iron n
steel and their products and rail-
road repair shops.
Referring to the employment sit
uation in Perth Amboy the labor
departments report for August
says:
PUerth Amboy.-A slight let-up
in employment is apparent in some
time. Supply Nof skilled and semi
skilled labor more plentiful: De-
man dand supply Of female factory
help equally balanced. Building
labor is fully employed. Outdoor
activities are absorbing available
common labor.
