Jobs Get Still SCarcer in Illinois
By LELAND oLDs Federated Press).

Illinois employment which started
to decline in March, month sooner
than in 1925, continued the slow down
ward trend with decline of 0.69o
between March and April, according
to the Illinois department Of labor.
This brings April employment in Ill
inois fac;oIies to level $500 below
April 1876 and establishes the lowest
mark since August 1925
There were fewer workers on Ill
inois factory payrolls this April than
in any April since 1922. The reduc-
ton compared with April 1923
amounts to 1879 which means loss
of jobs to upwards Of 10000 workers.
Many Want Work.
With the beginning of the outdoor
work season the free employment
offices reported 1874 applicants for
each 100 jobs compared with liza for
each 100 jobs in March. But in spite
of this improvement the number seek
ing jobs is higher than in any April
since 1921 when the industrial de-
preston was at Its worst. In April
1926 there were 1919 applicants for
each 100 jobs.
The department remarks that the
lockout of coal miners which began
April 1 has increased the competi-
ton for jobs at only of the free en-
ployment offices so far. Offices re-
porting high ratios of applicants to
jobs were Cicero with 1856 for each
100 jobs, Quincy with 173. Chicago
with 1876 and Aurora with 1862.
Fewer TailOrs Needed.
Clothing establishments led the de-
cline with drop of 4.59o in employ
ment. The April cut in women's
clothing jobs was the greatest in 5
years. Meat packing establishments
laid off 1877 of their workers, oil
refineries 5.1Fs, shoe factories 5.2fe
and leather factories 4.92s. A drop
of SO in furniture was largely re-
sponsible for the 1870 decline in en-
ployment in the wood products group.

"shrug."
Are the present-day Wobblies

bourgeois liberals, yellow So
cialists and other pink supporters of
the present order, who also "shrug"
and fail to see the significance of
present-day events?

Can they see no difference between
the propaganda of British Imperialism
and that of the Communists? Can
the 1. w. W. find no group of class
interested in the Chinese revolution
to line up with?
l know that the rank and file of the
I. w. w. Especially on the west
coast) have a strong sympathy not
only with the struggling Chinese
masses but also with the Soviet I'm
ion. 1t is time that they demand
some open stand on the part of the

urers all reported fewer workers than
in March.
The only important job gains in
April were increases of $3.50 in tex
tiles and 1870 in building material
industries. There was a seasonal
gain of $40 in workers employed by
building contractors.
Worse in, New York State
Employment in factories in New
York state declined even more sharp
ly than in Illinois, according to the
New York industrial commissioner.
The reduction between March and
April was about 2ae, bringing en-
ployment nearly SO under April 1926.
The commissioner says:
"This year March failed to show an
increase and this fact together with
q decline at least as large as usual
in April leaves the employment index
for the month from to go lower
than a year ago. The employment
level for the first Aponths of 1927
was lower than for%he same period
IN any year since l922".
Heavy reductions in the clothing
industries and considerable reductions
in most Of the metal trades more than
balanced gains in building material
and auto jobs. Employment in New
York factories is now nearly 1870
lower than in 1928. This means loss
of jobs to about 100000 workers.
Two lockouts remain a menace to
Chicago labor. The White (form-
erly Regain Printing House persists
in lame attempts to run openshop in
spite of heavy loss Of business.
Over 200 men and women are on
strike pay as a result. The union
millright shops which locked out 5000
inside carpenters last week are not
attempting to operate with scabs. A
number of the shops have reopened
at the old scale of $120 an hour. SIPS
is demanded by the union and S1.10
was offered by the bosses. (The
Federated Press enormously reported
the old scale as S1.25 in previous
notice.)
