UNEMPL OYMEI:NTIN
ILLINOIS GROWING
Less Work in State
Since 1921
BY LELAND OLDS,
Federated Press).

Factory employment in Illinois in
April fell to lower level than it has
reached in any month of any year
since the state started to gather sta
tistics in August 1921. A regular
reader of the monthly reports of the
state department of labor over the
last five years begins to wonder how
long this steady decline can go on
without producing some sort of dras
tic reaction. For Illinois wage earn
ers the Coolidge regime has seriously
damaged the good old myth OF res
publican prosperity.
Factory employment in Illinois fell
1870 from March to April to level
esq below April 1927, 1919 below
April 1926 and 1920 below April
1923. That means 100000 fewer jobs
than in April 1920, 10000 workers
turned off by the factories to hunt
some other chance to earn meagre
living for themselves and their fam
lilies.
Continued Decline.
Where they can have found work
is puzzle. The department shows
that in the last five years employment
has declined in trade, has declined in
coal mining, has declined. in building
and contracting. The public ut.ltie1
alone of all the industries in the state
have gained in this period and they
could not have provided jobs for all
the workers laid off by the other EN-
ployers.
Including all these industries in the
comparison, industrial emp oyment in
illinois fell $3.50 between March and
April to a level 4.39e below April
1927, 1880 below April 1926 and
1910 below 1923. In a paragraph
that inadvertently reflects the uncer-
tainty of employment under the cap
talist system the department indicates
that the situation is likely to grow
worse rather than better in the next
few months. 1t says:
Is Usual Event.
"The experience Of the manufac
turing industries during the majority
of the last five years indicates that
a falling off in factory employment
during April, May, June and July is &
usual event. August ordinarily wit
nesses increased activity which con
tinues through October and some
times into November. December arr
January are usually dull months This
dullness has, in each of the last sever
years, been broken in February whcs'
marks the sharpest and most decided
seasonal upturn during the year"
In spite of all the palavcr about
curing unemployment that has gone
on since the futile Harding confer
ence in 1921 capitalism has done
nothing toward stabilizing employ
ment. If each year continues to show
a lower general level than the pre-
ceding the trend will appear to the
workers to be in the direction of sta
billing unemployment.
Drop Was General.
In Illinois the drop in employment
from a year ago was nearly general.
Decreased employment was registered
in 46 of the S. manufacturing indus
tries and in 81 out of the grand total
OF ST industries covered by the re-
port.
The number Of employed in build-
ing construction declined. With thu
exception of glass the numbers en-
ployed in all industries producing
building materials declined. The num-
bers employed in all industries manu-
facturing household goods and fur
