previous years. Industries general

this class of labor during April.
Building tradesmen were better en-
ployed than in March. Industries
generally are operating full time.

they returned the empty pocketbook

gard to the labor situation In the
northwestern states covered by the
report. These are the Dakotas. Min
nesota. Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri
and Kansas. In practically all Sec
tons, however, the supply OF com.
petent farm labor has been suffi-
cient to meet the demand.
Resumption Of outside work has
resulted in better labor conditions
in the larger cities of the district
and in Minnesota the resumption Of
navigation and iron mining has had
. tendency to improve the situation,
these industries absorbing more
than the number of men released
from logging camps.
Optimism for q good building

throughout the district covered by
