British Unemployment Hits
Low Point.

LONDON, June 25.-Unemploy-
ment in Great Britain has touched
the lowest point in seven years.
When the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS reg
lister on May % dropped down to
$4,000 it passed just below the I'M
employment figure reached in De-
cember, 1920, in the temporary wave
of postwar prosperity.
How unemployment has been
steadily declining Is illustrated
graphically by the unemployment
figures commencing November, 1926
when the coal stoppage came to an
end. November, 1926, 1,545,0 900; De-
cenber, 1926, 1851 900; March, 1927,
1881 900; May 9, 1927, 998,5o0; May
%, 1927, $4,000.
It is believed that the improve
ment will continue through June,
but considerable increase in the
number of unemployed is antici-
pated during July and August. de-
creasing again as Autumn advances.

RAIL men TO

Employers Idea Faces 0p-

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The
100000 railroad workers of the
United States will fight to a fin

basic hours of railraod work, rep
resentatives of the railroad brother
hoods said here today.
A committee of railroad execu-
tives, following a suggestion by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
that they study means to stabilize
employment, has recommended that
railway labor working hours be in
creased to basis of nine or ten
hours a day in busy times.
Hits Adamson Law
They argue that such a policy
would enable carriers to employ
more uniform forces throughout
the year, and would avoid the ne
cessity of laying off men during dull
seasons. The railroad workers see
in the suggestion a possible COM
ing attack on the Adamson law,
their representatives said.
mot only would such move rep
resent a setback for labor's human
itarian program, but it would not
benefit the roads themselves. There
is plenty of flexibility in the pres
ent hours of labor.
