Construction And Improvements
Work Promise to Alleviate
Unemployment

Washington. Jan. 4.-(P-President
Hoover contemplated today d
found encouraging-the results Of his
drive to boost construction and Inn
provement work In an effort to absorb
unemployment.
Three major lines of American bust
ness endeavors submitted a budget Of
a. Zoo, 100000 for 1890. This, with
many items still to be added, gave
promise that the total to be expended
during the year would be larger than
that for 1929.
The largest amount was that Of
public utilities and telephone COM
panies. but the total Of public works
continued to grow with 10 states un-
touched in the survey and Is others
only partially covered, is states were
complete.
The public utility and telephone
groups fixed their estimate at $2.lO0.-
100000: public works. including those
Of the federal government. reached
81 $50. O0O, 900. and railroads set q total
Of 81, o50. 900 200.
Surveys for the states move toward
the white house daily and the presi-
dent said he expected they would be
completed by the middle Of this
month.
In addition to these. Mr.. Hoover
pointed out this total did not include
industrial and factory improvements
or building construction. A special
committee vas set UP at the Decenl-
Der conference Of the chamber OF
commerce of the United States to
make q survey Of the prospects In
these fields.
The effect Of the drive. the chief
executive was told by the steel com
panies. already Is beginning to show
in their orders which have grown to

While the president was disclos-
ing the results Of the drive. the cham.

said In q statement that no loss oi
momentum had been shown in the
business reports to the national bust
ness survey conference committee.
The American Federation Of Labor
In its monthly business survey said
today employment probably would b
low for the first few months Of thu
year, but would improve later.
Looking ahead to 1890, 1t Is oh.

manufactured. There will. therefore
he less demand for steel and steel pro-
duction will also be lower, unless off.
set by increased structurel demand.
