Factory workers have had a tough
year also. The Illinois Bureau of La
Dor Statistics reports that between
$4,000 and $4,000 people who had
jobs in factories in 1928 did not have
those jobs in 1925. That number
doesn't state the full amount of un-
employed, for it takes no account OF
the numerous negroes and Mexlcans,
and the less numerous Europeans and
Asiatics, who have migrated here in
the last year. Right now, with year
and more of depression at our backs,
there are fewer people in the factories
of this state than at any time since the
early months of 1922.

bulletin recently, warned the charita-

stated that though the promises of
prosperity by business prophets are
not lacking, the industries can not
possibly expand rapidly enough to
prevent more destitute families from
