Big Rise in N. Y:
All Records Broken

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 10.-Un-
employment is still increasing at
a rapid rate, the latest figures is
sued here by Frances Perkins, In
dustrial Commissioner for the
state of New York, show. More
than / per cent of the factory
workers lost their jobs in Decem-
Der, bringing the number of fac
tory workers alone in the staet Of
New York out of jobs to over
100, 900.
Miss Perkins stated that since
1929 these has been tremendous
downward sweep in employment,
the latest figures breaking all rec
ords for unemployment. The I'M
employment index, which takes
1925-27 as 100, is now at So. This
shows there is a drop of 80 per
cent in employment below the
1925-27 figures, or about As per
cent below the high point Of 1929.
According to these figures nearly
half the workers in New York
are totally without jobs.
The New York figures are an
accurate guide for conditions in
all industrial states.

Less For Food

WASHINGTON, J an. T. (U.P)-
The American housewife, according
to labor department statistics, is
paying less for her food today than
she has in years.

cent less than in the correspond
ing month of 1890.
November prices averaged tw o
per cent lower than those of Oct
ober 1881, and only lib per cent
higher than November 1913.
A pound of butter can be bought
for a cent less than it cost l8 years
ago. The departments figure
shows butter was 37.4 cents per
pound last November, 1877 cents in
November 1913, and Asa cents in
November, 1880.
Fresh eggs were 10 cents cheaper
last November than they were in

Sheriff Takes
Shovel Job

Sheriff George L. Campbell took
10 manual labor today as relief
from the tedium of his law enforce
ment job, and his efforts met with
such popularity among members of
the county road gang IL hat the
sheriff was invited to go along to
Seeley and complete the job he
started.
The sheriff was passing by the
site near the court house, where the
road gang is loading rocks an
gravel to be used on a road near
Seeley, when he stopped to talk
for a while.
The conversation turned to his
ability with a shovel and Campbell
took the instrument in hand, per-
forming with such dexterity and
force the road gang was not salts
fled when the truck was loaded,
but requested that the sheriff ac-
company them to Seeley and spread
the rocks over county roads.
Remembering a sudden duty in
his office, Campbell excused him
self and repaired thither. Some
deputies were so disloyal afterwards
as to hint the road gang merely
wanted to get out of working.
