the United States.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o:-Al-
though the supply of labor has be-
come more nearly adjusted to de-
mand in New Jersey industries than
has been the case in preceding
months, there is no sign of any
thing resembling a labor surplus.
and all labor released in n line
is Immediately absorbed in others.
The high rate of activity maintain
ed during the first half of the year
has with but few EXCEPTIONS been
well sustained, and operations in
practically all industries were at a
higher pitch in July than is usual
for midsummer.
Industrial employment conditions
throughout the country are very en-
|couraging. according to the Employ
ment Service of the U. S. department
Of labor. The survey for July showed
IA healthy undertone, and a splendid
spirit of optimism is said to pre-
vail throughout the entire industrial
held. While July showed a very
slight increase in unemployment
over June in the 1,428 industrial es-
adjustments employing 500 work.
ers and over covered by the survey,
this increase amounted to only 577
In all.
In the fourteen basic industries,
nine showed increases in employ
ment, these being, beverages, 70 per
cent; paper and printing, "A per

crease noted is one of SIS per cent
In tobacco manufacture.
In the opinion of the department

of boom prosperity, but rather based
on a sound and firm foundation that
Is wholesome and basically healthy.
The survey of industrial employ
ment situation in New Jersey for
July is summarized as follows:
Perth Amboy:-Skilled and I'M
skilled labor fully employed. Scar
city of female factory help prevails;
likewise domestic workers and COM
mon labor. Building program, es-
pecially dwellings, is affording steady
employment to all building trades.
Farm labor demands continue heavy,
New Brunswick:-Temporary cur
tailment of operations in one plant
during summer lull has affected more
than so workers. Building operations
continue, and approximately rs
dwellings are under way, affording
employment to skilled and semi
skilled tradesmen. A seasonal let up
of industrial activities has eased the
labor supply. Housing conditions are
fairly adequate.

He looks around, and then asks
quietly: Mine thousand?"

almost secretive.

has MOI been the case with "Sunken
Rocks" which is smoothly handled
and carefully worked out in every
detail.
Alma Taylor as the star gives an
exceptionally good performance and
