RECOVERY IN NEW YORK
RETARDED BY BIG STRIKE
GO, 900 Dress Industry Workers Provide Serious
. Problem for N. r. A., But General Response of
Blue Eagle Boosts Re-employment

The committees In charge, however
have decided to hold Tn allegiance such
drastic measures, ct least until en-
ployers have had more time to work out
their problems. -
A cheerful report, showing con.
clusively the upward trend of re-
employment, was issued recently by
Frank j. Taylor, commissioner Of thu
Department Of Public Welfare. Using
the average employment Of 1925 to 1927
as 100 per cent, he reported that dur
ing July the employment figure reached
81 per cent, an increase Of S per cent
over May. Pay roll, figures compiled
on the same basis, he said, reached 47.e
per cent during July, also q gain Of
per cent over the preceding month.
Another Optimistic Phase.
Another phase Of his report, dealing
with new applications for rmemploy-
ment relief, also was optimistic. Mr.
Taylor said his department received
81, ,129 new applications In April, 24,17t
In May, 1897 In June and II 100 tr

this month they dwndled to ap-

The Democratic politicians, partieu-

RICHMOND, Va, August ia sea-
side park looms as an addition to the
recreational lands already owned by the
State Of Virginia The State Commits
sion on Conservation and Development
this week gave its approval to tentative
plans for the acquisition of land for q
park at Cape Henry. The proposed park
would include two miles of waterfront
on Chesapeake Bay and approximately
$500 acres in what is known as the
Cape Henry Desert.
The new site Is designed as another
link in the State park program which
already includes the Battlefield Park
in the Richmond area and the Wilson
Creek Park, near Clifton Forge, in addi,
ton to the Shenandoah National Park,
still owned by the Commonwealth, but
which is expected to be turned over to
the Federal Government within the near
future.
Skyline Opening Urged.
Hopes are expressed for the early
opening Of the Skyline drive through
the Shenandoah National Park, hopes
In which President Roosevelt Joined in
his trip over the drive last week end
The Conservation Commission points
out that there are a number of legal
difficulties in the way. of the immediate
opening of the drive as appeals in con-
demnation proceedings for the acquire
ment Of park lands are pending. Most
of the appellants, however, have agreed
to submit their claims to the arbitra-
ton board appointed by Gov. Pollard
and settlement of these matters before
the end of the Fall is regarded as
probable.
The General Assembly of Virginia
convened in special session in Rich
mond at noon Thursday and proceeded
to take the first steps in its program
which calls for tax on beer and wine
the passage Of laws setting up machin-
cry for vote on the repeal Of the eigh-
teenth amendment and the adoption OF
various measures amending Virginia
laws so that institutions and communi-
ties may take advantage Of the oppor-
for borrowing from Federal funds
Many Of the obstacles in the path o1
local governmental units desiring tc
participate in the benefits of the public
works act can be overcome by amend
ments to present statutes, but there are
certain State constitutional provisions
against bond issues and other borrow
| ings by the State or counties which will
be difficult to get around. While the
cities are generally governed by char
| tiers, which can be easily amended by the
Legislature, the restrictions as to the
State and its counties are extremely
rigid, votes Of the people affected being
required and the borrowings being lin
tied to certain percentages Of the real
estate valuations.

BALTIMORE, August 19.-More than
1000 additional employees have been
added to the pay rolls OF Baltimore
firms during the last week, bringing the
campaign got under way and directly
due to that drive up to 1912. In ad-
dition to this, 1,345 workers who had
been employed only on part time are
now given full-time employment and
it is planned by local establishments to
make q further increase in their full
time workers for at least 1,790 in the
near future.
These figures are compiled by the
Baltimore Association of Commerce
from approximately 600 firms which
have filed questionnaires since the drive
started, and it Is pointed out that the
figures are far from complete, as there
are q great many more questionnaires
to be returned.
The figures compiled by the associa-
ton do not include large number OF
workers who have been added to the
pay rolls of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail,
road, the Bethlehem Steel Co. and
some other large concerns. Neither do
they include approximately 5000 work.

Ohacials of the Association of Com
merce, who are bending every effort to
have employers make returns setting
forth the increases IN their working
forces, point out that the campaign so
far has put q decided dent in the ranks
of the unemployed in Baltimore.
As an indication Of the general i'm
provement which has developed is the
fact that during the last few days the
number Of families receiving public re-
lief has been decreased by $40. How
ever, the cost Of giving this relief has
shown an increase, due to the rise IN
commodity prices. This increase Is OH
cially estimated at about 8 per cent.
The latest employment figures IN the
campaign are the second group COM
piled by the Association Of Commerce,
the first being tabulated from 425 firms.
officials say that some OF those who
filed their reports during the first 10
days Of the drive also have added more
workers to their pay rolls and no record
Of these increases has been kept. Added

ports as yet, officials are of the opinion
that the number of persons who have
benefited under the campaign Is Tar

the present returns.
Practically all lines of industry and
trade are included in the 600 reports
that have been made, but the returns
represent far from 100 per cent Of the

was Gov H. G. Humps explanation
of the reason for his success early last

obtained temporary restoration Of Fed

including the vital question Of patron

ministrator Harry L. Hopkins, who had
sent to him an ultimatum to the effect
that all Federal aid would be with
drawn as Of August 20, and would
not be restored until the State made
some financial provision Of its own.
The Governor found Mr.. Hopkins
unyielding, but after conference with
the President he said he was given as
surance that the States immediate
needs would be taken care Of.

the strikers hope to abolish the sweat
shops, which have been thriving during
the depression. More than $500 shops
