Gains in Survey of
State.
BIZ Times Special

BU Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Grad-
ual improvement in industrial activ-
ity and a consequent decrease in the
the number Of unemployed in the
Indianapolis district during August
was reported today by the United
States department of labor'S month
ly industrial survey.
The increase in outdoor activity
was not sufficient to absorb all the
jobless, but the ranks of the unem-
pIoyed were not swelled during the
month, despite a slight seasonal
falling off of production in some
lines.
Building Activity Helps
"A gradual improvement in in
dustrial activity and employment
occurred in the local industries, al 3,
though there was still some unem-
ployment apparent at the end of
the month" the Indianapolis report
said. THE large volume of build
ing in progress included the erection
of residences and private garages, a
commercial structure, two factories,
telephone building and other prof.
ects. This has materially reduced
the surplus of skilled building trades
operatives and unskilled workers.
County and state highway construc-
ton gave employment to large
number of men in the Indianapolis
industrial district. The supply of
farm labor exceeded requirements. -
For the state as a whole condi-
tionS were about the same as re-
ported in June and July, scattered
falling off in factory employment
was about covered by increased
construction and road work. Steel
mills in the Calumet district are
still operating below normal sched-
uleS as are most of the automotive
plants throughout the state.
Evansville reports 100000 in new
building projects under way, includ-
ing county road work. South Bend
reported S350.0O0 worth of new prof.
ects approved or actually begun
during the month.
5000 Miners Idle
Coal mining in the Terrre Haute
district is in seasonal slump
somewhat more severe than normal,
with 5000 diggers out of work.
For the country as a whole the
survey reported little change for the
month, but "a brighter outlook de-
veloped toward the close in regard
to industrial employment during the
next sixty days"
The fact that the buying power
of the country seems to be well sus-
tanned. Save in one or two spots,
this is encouraging to manufac-
turers, and they are now planning
to step up production schedules a
trifle in anticipation of an expected
increase in fall demand.
Drought conditions have not been
reflected as yet in industrial pro-
ductivity, according to the report,
but crop losses we're a factor con-
tributing to the surplus OF farm
labor.
