NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 9.--Unem-
ployment is steadily rising in the
large manufacturing cities of New
Jersey. In Newark, the best indi-
Gator for the entire state, a 25 per
cent decrease since 1926 in employ
ment is revealed by employers statis-
tics, with 25 applicants for every job.
Unemployed workers crowd the streets
looking for the few ads appearing in
the papers, and employment ex-
changes have little to offer them.
Charity organizations on Christmas
could not handle the immense number
of poor and homeless seeking food and
lodging. Passaic, the textile center,
Elizabeth, where automobile machin-

Amboys and the pottery manufactur-

gram is planned by the State High

four-year term for governor, by his
added proposals that there shall be
no legislation every second year, and
in his proposal for the establishment
