Bulletin on employment conditions
for May:
Unemployment Is vanishing. In-

The gauge the Urban League uses

When Negroes are called back to
jobs vacated during business depres-
sions 1t is very certain index that
others have already been re-employ-

parts of the country where the labor
of Negroes was used before business
got bad; and there is also evidence
that they are again finding oppor-
tunities in lines of work new to
them.

Hope for Success
Naval experts directing the exper-
imcnt hope the tests will be the first
success of a series by which rescue
and salvage of crippled undersea
craft may be effected in several
hours as against the days previously
required.
How long 1t would take to raise
the S-4 in the present test was de-
pendent on continued good weather
and the ability of the lifting hooks
to hold the craft to the pontoons
which will pull the vessel upward
as the water inside them is forced
out.
Part of the test was to determine
the accessibility OF the hooks. and
on the bottom the vessel was listed
about IS degrees to provide addition
al difficulty in the experiment. The
list was created by emptyins some
of the ballast tanks in the side of
the hull leaving other loaded tanks
and a flooded engine room to keep
the craft down.
