EMPLOYMENT HERE
HELD FAVORABLE
Demand for Skilled and Un-
skilled Labor Good-Sur-
plus of Clerks.

Employment conditions in the Dis
trict of Columbia during July We're
described as favorable by the Federal
employment director, who took an OPP
timistic view of conditions during Au-
gust. Building tradeSmen are gen
orally we'll employed, construction
work Is going ahead and the only
sore spot appears in the increased
surplus of clerical workers released
by the Government departments.
The skilled labor supply in the Dis
trict, particularly carpenters, was well
employed during July, with an optl-
mistic outlook prevailing for con-
tinuance of this condition through
out August. There has been a good
demand for unskilled white and col
ored labor and very little surplus ex-
lists. Street repair work and railroad
construction activities nearby are
employing large numbers of this class
of help. and building continues on a
large scale, with several new projects
to be started in the near future,
among them being 10-story bank ad-
ditiOn on which work is scheduled to
start in mid-August.
Further personal reductions in
the various Government departments
have increased the number Of unem-
ployed workers." the director said,
land there is little hope of these
workers finding employment in the
near future. There has been a fair
demand for negro domestic help"
A slight Midsummer seasonal
slowing up was apparent in one or
two industries in Virginia during
July, the State director reported. On
the whole, however. employment con-
ditions were satisfactory in the State.
Employment conditions in Hagers-
town and Frederick, Md, We're de-
scribed as satisfactory by the Mary
land director. although in Cumberland
a small surplus Of labor was apparent.
The West Virginia state director re-
ported conditions among workers of
the State satisfactory.

CITY REFUSE NETS
D. C. LARGE SUMS
Hacker Reports on Amount of
Revenue Derived From
SaIvaging.

A substantial increase in the amount
of trash and ashes collected in the
District last year and a decrease in
the amount of garbage is reported by
Morris Hacker, supervisor of city
refuse, in his annual report to the
District Commissioners made public
today.
1.-THE amount Of trash collected was
nearly per cent greater than in the
previous year." said Mr.. Hackers re-
port. Because Of the early com
mencement of cold weather last Win
ter the ashes collected from private
householders increased some $4,000
cubic yards, or slightly more than s
per cent over the previous year. The
amount of garbage. collected was
slightly less than during the year pre-
vious, about $4,000 tons, as compared
with $4,000 tons In the year 1925.
The report shows that 1888. 125
pounds of grease were produced at
the garbage reduction plant, which
sold for 1852 .055.43. AS the expense
Of operating this plant. including the
cost of freight from Washington to
Cherry Hills, Va, was $185 ,261.16
there was profit of $66,774.27 to the
Government from this source. The
trash plant, through the sale of ma
terial salvaged, brought a revenue to
the District of $79, 429SS.
Due to the increase in trash collec-
tions, Mr.. Hacker explained that the
trash plant Is overloaded. and steps
should be taken to erect a large in
Generator for the disposal of trash
that cannot be handled at the present
plant.
The cost of ash collections, accord
ing to the report, amounted to $137,-
893.99. A large proportion of the
ashes. however, was used by the sur
face division for making temporary
roadways In the suburbs.
The total receipts of the refuse di-
vision were 1896, 1910, derived from
the following sources: Garbage
grease, 1882 ,055.43; salvage trash, S79,
