was authorized in May last year and
is at the rate of s1,50O,0O0 for each
working day.
Altho the total operations are
slightly less than the April record,
the decrease does not mean that the
unprecedented boom is beginning to
subside, said Chief Plan Examiner
Edward H. Nordlie.
Permits for 1921 apartments and
904 residences were granted during
the month, making a total of 15,485
new apartments and 4,249 residences

NEW YORK is again setting the
pace. This time it is in the pay
roll loss and in the decrease Of en-
ployment for the last month Most
of the industrial districts show de-
clines in employment and payroll for
the last month. But the New York
losses are bigger than the average, &C.
cording to the figures just made pu-
bile by the New York state industrial
Commissioner, James A. Hamilton.
From March to April factory pay
rolls showed big loss. For the week
Of April Is, wages Of forty percent
of the factory workers show drop
of 35,00O,0 900. This is a loss of 4 per
cent in one month. At the same time
the total employment Of the state
dropped two per cent.
THE tendency in New York state
l. is significant especially in view of
the fact that the general industrial
situation in the country is usually esti'
mated by striking the average Of the
conditions In the empire state with
the figures of the United States
bureau of labor statistics.
Precisely a year ago the decline
marking the worst phase of the last
depI ession had begun. Then, the wage
decrease was about the same as this
year, tho the 1925 drop in employment
is not as big as the corresponding
drop Of last year.
The average factory wage for April
in New York was s27.65 per week
This is approximately the same wage
received by the workers at this time
in 1924. In the metal industry, how
ever, especially in the ship yards, the
wages are lower than last year. The
automobile industry is the only one
to show any substantial increase in
wages over last year.
THE women workers of the state
l. have been hit harder by the wage
reductions than the men. In the

NY. Sets Payroll Pay Loss Pace

clothing shops, shoe and textile in
dustry the wages of women workers
suffered marked reductions last
month.
The copper mills, the railway equip
ment shops, the hardware factories,
and the heating apparatus manufac-
tories showed the heaviest losses in
the metal industry. 1t is interesting
to note that this decline in the metal
industry has been continuous since
February.
The curtailment of production was
also evident in the textile industry
which reported reductions thru nearly
every line of manufacture.
Ordinarily the workers engaged in
the turning out of building materials
show an increase in wages at this
time Of the year. This year no such
increases are reported. IN the brick
yards part time is very noticeable.
Within the last year wages have drop
ped in this industry from S24.S9 to
$3.50 a week.
THE two clothing centers Of the
L state, Rochester and New York
City, show losses in payrolls. In New
York City the loss was seven per cent
and in Rochester it was six per cent.
The heavy New York payroll loss
compares with loss of or per cent
in the Illinois industrial district for
last month. But the loss in the latter
section has been continuous. New
York also led the Illinois industrial
district in the extent of the decrease
of number employed. The latter sec
ton showed loss of 1.3 per cent for
the same time as compared with New
York's loss Of two per cent.
Economists the country over are
keeping eye on industrial develop
ments in New York which has always
been considered somewhat of wea'
thervane in the economic develop
ments of the country.

Drags Into Third

The trial of William d. Shepherd
on an indictment charging murder
for the death of William Nelson Nc.
Clintock was in its thirteenth day

Four sworn jurors, accepted eight

opinion as to how long it might be
before the actual taking of testimony
would begin.
The only other interest in the case
centered on the finding of Robert

both the state and defense, but even
this had simmered down to a wait

KLUXERS Beat
CREW OF NEGRO
SHIP; COPS AID
Negro Preachers Work
Nth Employers

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, June r.
Gay MaII)-The "Nearo" ship, the
~Booker r. Washington" Of the Black
Gross Line, has been driven from the
port here after SO policemen, together
with members of the ku kIux khan
and carrying orders Of the mayor,
had como aboard and brutaIIy assault
cd members of the crew.
The police, after severely clubbing
the Negro sailors and ordering the
ship to depart, returned the next
morning in a launch to repeat the or
der, which had not been obeyed be-
cause of the necessity Of coaling.
Employers engaged In exploiting
Negro workers at starvation wages in
this seaport, are said to have feared
that many Negro workers intended
to leave Jacksonville on the ship.
Negro preachers who are agents in
disguise for the white employers,
served as tools to start the trouble.
These preachers provided the
smoke screen by raising objection to
the dances which were being held
every night on board the ship. Ac-
customed to appropriating the spare
change of the Negroes hereabouts, the
colored ministers said the ships crew
had no right to charge fifty cents for
admission to the dances.
The Black Cross Line is a steam
ship company organized by the Uni.
versal Negro improvement Associa-
ton as successor to the BLACK
Star Line" dissolved By the United
States government on the ground that
the selling of stock in the company
was fraudulent, the stock being de-
clared worthless.
Marcus Garvey, president of the
Negro organization, is in the U. S.
government penitentiary at Atlanta,
Ca, serving a ten-year sentence on
the ground that he used the mails to
defraud. Agitation for his release
and for the cessation of the persecu'
ton Of the Negro association has
reached a great intensity among
Negro workers. The recent call OF
the Workers (Communist) Party for
a united front of all Negro and white
workers to put an end to the persecu.
tons and to demonstrate for the re.
lease of Garvey, has penetrated into
this section and aroused much favor,
able comment among the wharf
workers.

THANKSGIVING.
Governor Brewster'S Proclamation
Calling for Observance.

Calling for Observance.
The happy custom of Thanksgiv-
ing day inherited from our mother
commonwealth is a recurring re-
minder of our obligation to the
"Giver of every good and perfect
gift" The first formal Thanksgiv-
ing day upon this continent was cele-
brated amid material conditions that
would seem to us grotesque. Our
Pilgrim Fathers devoutly rendered
thanks for little cluster of huddled
huts upon a bleak New England
shore with three thousand miles of
raging Atlantic behind and three
thousand miles of wilderness and
savages before. In immediate pros
pect doomed a second New England
winter and one-third of their little
company had persisted in the first.
To-day we prepare to assemble
amid material conditions that are ex-
actly the reverse. The world Is
linked by science and goodwill into
a most intimate accord. The ocean
has shrunk before the transportation
and communication marvels OF our
day. The continent is thronged from
coast to coast with myriad millions
of happy contented people brought
from every land. Protection is our
from every i'll and supply beyond the
widest dreams of avarice in the days
that are now past.
1t is altogether fitting that We
should turn aside to voice thanks
Now, therefore, Thursday, November
2G, 1925, is hereby proclaimed as
Thanksgiving day III the State OF
Maine.
Before we gather for our feast and
our rejoicing in response to the call
of our President, let us pause from
our material prescriptions ana
render tribute to the things above the
flesh. In our several houses OF Wof-
ship or in our homes, let us read
from the chart of our forefathers
such a passage as the nlnety-hrs'
Psalm as a recognition of the pro-
lection for our nation that so far has
never failed.
A general display Of the national
colors will offer inspiration to renew
our allegiance to the flag OF our
country and to the Constitution for
which alone that fag stands.
This nation was founded and has
been so far preserved by leaders
recognizing a guidance outside the
world we see. Adversely bred moral
giants upon these granite hills. Let
us make sure that prosperity shall
not terminate the spiritual culture
that adversely has so well begun.
