BIG GAIN SHOWN
IN FACTORY Jobs
Shortage of Skilled Labor
in Many Lines Cited by
Association Chief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 23-Employ-
ment among factories reporting to the
National Association Of Manufacturers
at the end of 1895 stood at 1861 per
cent of 1929 levels, William B. Warner,
president, told the new board Of the
association.
Warner pointed out, however, the
figure did not necessarily apply to all
industry, inaSmuch as the survey made
by the association did not take into
consideration businesses forced out
during the depression and which had
not been re-established.
Yesterdays first session of the new
board was devoted to formulation of
plans for working out the declaration
Of principles" adopted last December.
These stressed the necessity for reduc-
ing industrial unemployment, curbing
depression effects, creating economic
security for the individual and elm
mating child labor and sweat shops.
Returns from plants employing D.
689. 900 persons, approximately a third
Of those within the manufacturing in
duStry," Warner said after the session,
Showed employment was 1861 per
cent of 1929 levels. These figures in
clude the entire automobile industry,
which reported employment as 16 per
cent above 1929, and the steel industry,
where employment was up IA per cent.
THE figure Of the steel industry was
particularly encouraging because of its
dependency upon activity within the
durable goods industries, the latter
having been the most PROSTATE during
the depression"
Having determined where employ
ment has increased, Warner said, the
next step was TO find out where unem-
ployment still exists 80 that the entire
country can concentrate its efforts in
that direction" To obtain this in
formation, he asserted, a Federal
census OF the unemployed "is abso-
lutely essential"
Warner said that unemployment did
exist in the heavy industries and con-
struction, which had not caught I'D
with the recovery upswing. On the
other hand, there was a very definite
shortage of skilled labor in many lines
because apprentices were not generally
trained during the depression, he as
serted.

Most analysts held the setback

impetus during the preceding seven

groups.

factors in Mrs. Housewives food
budget.
The combined index, responding to
this pressure, dipped to 1912 per cent
Of the 1926 average, from 9036 week
ago and compared with 1928 last year.
Industrial Demand Heavy.
Staples consumed by the industrial
machine continued in heavy demand.
Although prices were not bid up with
the same abandon noted recently, both
industrial and textile indices marked
up new peaks for six years or more.
Commodities in the basic claSsifi-
cations-agriculture and industry
move in tune with two distinct sets
Of forces. Since the public appetite
must be satisfied in good times and
bad, the major factor affecting food
quotations is supply.
This means past harvests and further
prospects swing the tide. Some COM
modify men see heavier crops ahead
for most major staples and in this
light construe the current weakness
in food items.
Raw material for industry, on the
other hand, takes its cue from both
supply and demand statistics. The
latter has been increasing sharply in
recent months while available stocks
have been declining steadily.
Months Are Required.

This has been the underlying situa-
ton for many weeks, dealers said, and
explains the rise in steel scrap and
bituminous coal. Rubber and turnpen-
tine fell back slightly.
Cotton cloth swept up to the highest
point since January, 1928. Although
mills have been running at approx
mate capacity for more than month,
demand was even larger. Silk gave

Live stock improved a little, with
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics
calling attention to probable smaller
supplies next year as the result of

lack of food. Cattle and lambs ad-
vanced, hogs eased fractionally.
Food and agricultural staples were

ARM0RY IS HOPE
OF MILITIA HERE
Would Like to See National
Parks Plan Carried
Out.

Local militia officials are hopeful
that something definite will come this
year out of the plan published by the
National Capital Parks Office for an
armory and stadium project on the
Eastern Branch at its junction with
East Capitol street. They examined
the plan with considerable interest,
and officials indicated that they would
like to see it develop into more than
Just a plan, and end their fight for
such a project which has lasted more
than quarter of century.
The local officials pointed out that
the recent convention of the National
Guard Association Of the United States
passed a resolution in which 1t was
recommended that the local armory
project should be considered separate
and distinct from any other armory
program for the National Guard
throughout the country. They pointed
out that the officials Of the national
association are energetically behind
such a project and that Maj. Gen.
Milton A. Reckord, commanding the
National Guard of Maryland and the
29th National Guard Division, of
which the District troops are part,
is actively working for such a program.
The associations resolution said that
the District of Columbia National
Guard, being the only National
Guard organization in the country
for which Congress of the United
States is solely responsible, should be
provided with such sites and armorieS
at the next (present session of Con-
gress of the United States without
reference to any other building or
armory programs which may be pre-
sented to Congress"
While local officials pointed out that
they are whole heartedly behind the
plan as adopted by the National Parks
Office, they nevertheless need congress
sional authority to use this site, even
if funds are provided. However, so
far as local guard officers would admit,
no definite plans for presenting their
armory problem to the current Con-
greSs have been made. But when they
are made, the local officials indicate
that they will call for support from the
national association, which urged that
the President of the United States, as
COMMUNICATIVE of the District of
Columbia National Guard, recommend
| to Congress the enactment of legisla-
ton to provide sites and armories for
the local militia.
In view of the fact that the local
guard officers were unsuccessful in
| getting any funds from the Public
Works Administration in connection
with the armory building program last
year, they hope that by divorcing the
local project from any general plan
| they may be able, with the support

NEW YORK, January 23.-Some Of

financial commentators have reported.
The lukewarm interest does not nee

it suggests stockholders have been con-

The situation is said to be quite diff

signal for soaring bull movements in

under executive order, these retired
men are not eligible to take the civil

jobs unless they can produce evidence
showing them to be at least 10 per
