chief Of the employment service OF
the Department of Labor in New

ton increased in February, instea,
of showing the usual falling off du,
to inclement weather, according t
his report.
THE broadening of industry

| during the month of February has
had u most satisfactory effect on
| unemployment" Mr.. Brown said
February, which usually shows de-
J creased employment on account of
inclement weather conditions, which
affect all outside activities, has this
time shown an increase of labor
added to payrolls over the month of
January. In a survey of industrial
conditions throughout this district ii
was particularly interesting to note
that practically all building trades
men were employed, with, in some
cases. shortages Of certain of these
| workers existing. Contemplated ex-
tension of already huge building
operations will employ all of these
artisans and thus develop acute
shortages in some cities during the
summer months.

crease in unemployment for the
month of February as compared with

ASKS BORAH
FOR PROPOSAL
COOLIDGE SEEKS ADVICE
FROM BORAH REGARDING
RELIEF FOR FARMERS.

President Coolidge has COM
municated with Senator Borah
relative to the agricultural condi-
tions of the west and partic-
ularly the wheat situation.
The president is nlanifesting a
deep interest in the agricultural
situation and has asked Senator
Borah to advise him as to the
facts and conditions and the ex-
tent of the distress obtaining
throughout the west and what
possible, feasible plans seem
available for relief.
Senator Borah's attitude re-
garding the agricultural indus
try is we'll known here and was
explained by the Senator only're-
Gently when he delivered an adj
dress in Cottonwood, to a packed
house, and the title of his sub
ject was "How to Find a Mark
ct For the American Farmer
While the senator had his owl
conclusions as to a permanent re-
lief for the farmers he was also
in favor of any measure thai
would give temporary relief
We belive that Senator Boraf
will submit his proposal to the
president within the next few
days.
Senator Borah has made 8
deep study Of the agriculture
question the past summer anC
his recommendations are anxi1
ously awaited for in the farming
districts.
