A significant and enlightening view
of the situation was given the United
Press by Harry NJ. Ayers, editor OF
the Admission. Ala, Star. and a politi-
cal leader in Alabama.
Ayers said:
1T is we'll known fact in Ala

OF the platform committee of the
convention at Houston and publisher
of the Admission Star. did everything
in his power to prevent the nomlna-
ton of Governor Smith.
However, the Star believes that
the interests OF this section of the
country will be best served by
change in party rule and according
lv will support Governor Smith IN
spite of our difference with him on
the question of prohibition.
But for Mr. Hoover's injection OF
the racial issue in the campaign and
but for the Anti-Lynch law plank IN
the Republican platform. it is be-
lieyed that Mr. Hoover could secure

party ranks on account OF Shl'h

ADMIT NEED OF
SURVEY ON u. S.
UNEMPL OYMENT
Labor Department Officials
Say No Check Kept on
Many Industries.
BY CECIL OWEN
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. The
resolution of Senator Wagner
(Den) New York, calling on the
Labor Department to make a ma
tional survey of unemployment led
to a variety of estimates today as to
the true ratio of workers to jobs.
Wagner insisted unemployment is
increasing and said the Labor De-
rartment lacks sufficient data Oh the
subject.
Administration officials admitted
the lack of data, and agreed such a
survey was needed but pointed out
its difficulties and generally ex-
pressed optimism over employment
conditions.
Employment data gathered by the
Bureau of Labor statistics in selected
manufacturing industries show de-
crease in factory employees of is per
cent since 1928, when the bureau be-
gan its study.
Production Increases
The latest index figure, December,
1927, was 85.1 per cent of the 1923
par. Further declines are expected
for January and February, this year,
on the basis of reports already re-
Ceived.
However, Government experts
pointed out that the Bureaus figures
cover only employment in industries
well established prior to 1923, and
do not include farm labor, miners,
domestic help or any of the new in
dustrieS such as airplanes, radio, OIL
burning engines, Rayon and the
like except where the older in
dustries have added these new lines
to their production.
The experts further declared that
despite the apparent falling off in
workers, production has increased
because of further mechanization of
manufacturing plants. They sug-
gested that most workers thus dis
placed by machines may have been
absorbed by new or nonmanufactur-
ing industries for which there are
no national statistics.
No Funds for Survey
Officials declared house-to-
house canvass of the nation would
be necessary for an accurate check
on unemployment. They said even
a less thorough survey would require
