Many Brilliant Speakers

Seldom has an audience listened
to so many brilliant speakers as
they recited the course of many
outrageous indignities and devel-
oped the idea of united immedi-
ate actions to retard and overcome
these unbearable injustices. Just
to publish the list of those who
thus gave public support to the
Congress agenda would be an out
standing evidence of the genuine
interest aroused throughout the
United States not only among the
dark people but as well among
those militant sympathizers Of
lighter hue. But there is not space
for that here.

Resolutions

This was the aim Of the many

the groups after a careful and thor

endorsed by the entire body of

CANADA JOB
PICKUP RAPID
In dustrial Improvement
There Declared Faster
Than in u. S.
BY ALEX JANUSITIS
United Press Staff Corresponden Mt


MONTREAL, Sept. "a. (UP)-
Canada is making greater head
way toward business and employ
mcnt recovery than the United
States, the Royal Bank of Canada
reports in its current monthly
business letter.
Although the recovery in buSi
ness during the past three years
has been accompanied by eXpan-
sion in employment in both cOun-
tries, unemployment continues to
be major problem, the bank
states.
Comparatively figures $ h 0 y,
however, that Canada has travel ID
more than half Of the road toward
recovery in employment whereas
the United States has covered on
ly one-Quartcr Of TIE distance.
Reviewing the employment sit
uation in the United States and
Canada since the start Of the de-
IrrcSSion. the bank declares that
in both countries the volume Of
employment fell to lower levels
than it did in most other parts Of
the world. At the worst period it
amounted to. from l5,000,000 to
| i ;, 10000 in the United States
and 10 about 100000 in Can
ada.
IDLE RANKS COMPARED
Today there are between 49,
100000 and l2,O0O,OUO uncm-
plOycd in the United States and
from 100000 to 100000 in Can
ada.
an neither country has uncm-
ployment been reduced to rea-
Sonablc magnitude" the letter
states, "but at no time in the de-
preston or during recovery has
Unemployment been proportion
jtcly as large in Canada Us it has
been in the United States"
Canada has shown Il greater
Improvement than the United
States in almost every one Of the
major categories of employment.
CANADIAN MINING BOOMS
"ln mining, for instance the
bank adds, stands the strong
contrast between the position Of
the anthracite miners in the
United States, where fewer than
80 per cent Of the miners are en-
ployed, with that of Canada,
where the index Of employment is
above 250 per cent Of that in
1926. In other branches of min
ing the comparison is not so over
whelmingly favorable, but for
mining as a whole employment in
Canada Us. well ahead Of that i'll

In transportation in May, 1886,
the last month for which detailed
statistics are available for both
countries, the United States index
