Gloomy pictures of increasing un-

deeper into the Nations economic
Well-being for at least another two
months were presented today by three
Government labor statisticians before
the special Senate committee studying
the unemployment problem.
1hat this trend, of near record vio-
lence IN recent weeks. will be more
than seasonal in the immediate future
as a result of recent mass lay-offs in
the automobile industry was estimated
by Isador Lubin, head of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
Estimating that 100000 persons
lost industrial jobs between october
Is and December is, 1887, Mr.. Lubin
remarked that this decline in employ
ment was the sharpest in many years.
Although Chairman Byrnes, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina specified as
the nearing opened that "iu is not the
purpose OF this committee to endeayor
to show that either labor or capital
deliberately brought about the present
recession" subsequent questioning of
Senator Murray. Democrat, of Mon
lana carried the plain implication
that he believed industry in some in
stances at least had been too quick to
lay on workers after making record
prohts early in 1887. Senator Murray's
1nterrogating was directed at the COP
per and automobile industries narticu-
larly.
questioned on Tax Policies.
Asked by Senator Lodge, Repub-
llcan, Of Massachusetts, if Govern
ment tax policies had not forced ac-
cumulation of heavy inventories early
in the year and willingness to all
business to Slacken later, Mr.. Lubin
said he thought the heavy stocking
OF goods was an indication of conf
dence of profits to come rather than
lack of it.
The labor Statistician testified that
recent developments in many indus
tries have wiped out most of the past
depression gains, while a few indus
tries, notably private construction.
never had pulled themselves back to
the plane Of the 192Os.
Private construction last November.
Mr. Lubin said, was employing only
30 per cent of its 1929 amount of
labor. Railroads were employing only
66 per cent, he added.
Relief Outlook Changed.
Expecting substantial increases in
unemployment during the current
month, Corrington Gill. assistant w.
P. A. administrator, testified that the
outlook for relief needs has been "seri-
ously changed" in recent weeks.
After citing direct relief increases
from Is to 100 per cent in number
of cities. Mr.. Gill informed the COM
mittee of the increased allotment of
350,O00 w. P. A. jobs.
Under present plans and instruc-
tions,' he said cit is probable that
w. P. A. employment will increase to
an average of about 100000 in jan
uary and to an average of 1900 900
In February. For the week ending
January /, 1888, the w. P. A. had in
creased to 1867 900 persons. This rep
resents an increase of 146.OOO from

HENDAYE. Franco-Spanish From
tier. Jan. 4.-Beleaguered insurgents
and Spanish government troops fought
today at rifle range through the ice
crusted streets of Teruel, in guerilla
warfare that may determine the tide
of the civil conflict.
Snow checked mass offensives by
the 100000 troops of the two armies
on the front encircling Teruel, and
sleet grounded airplanes and begged
motorized units in the mountainous
terrain.
But within the city itself, 160 miles
to the east of Madrid, there was the
crack of rife fire and fighting at
close range.
Rebels Have Advantage.
Both sides claimed control of the
provincial capital. It appeared that
the insurgents held the advantage,
but an earlier announcement Of COM
plete domination of the Teruel front
was not borne out.
one band OF insurgents lashed at
the Neutrality-suspicious. enemy from a
church and the shambles of an ad-
jacent seminary, dynamited last week
by government troops. A Barcelona
government communique said the
church was captured.
Government troops consolidated po-
sitions in municipal building in
sally against insurgents within the
Hotel Aragon-another haven for the
Teruel garrison since a Madrid-Va-
lencia army captured the city in a
surprise offensive December 81.
On the snowswept front outside
the city first-aid corps struggled to
bring wounded of the past days fight
ing to shelter. Hundreds of frozen
bodies were said to have been left
on the icy battlenelds.
Loyalists Admit Slight Loss.
Hindered by the drifting snow, the
government admitted slight loss in
positions outside Teruel, but did not
specify where. Government COM
muniques said several insurgent ma
chine-gun nests were taken in q
sudden attack at Muela.
In some instances tanks could be
thrown into battle, and behind them
government forces attacked, in white
coats for camouflage.
Grounded planes and heavy artil-
lery which could not be moved be-

From the estimated peak in Feb

expected these files to prove more

employment conditions throughout the

of the 1888 season, and sports writers
of the high spots:
Off the diamond the most notable de-
velopments were the sale of Dizzy Dean to
the Chicago Cubs and the final capitula-
ton of Joe DiMaggio to accept the $4,000
salary offered by Colonel Rupert. The
Cubs gave the St. Louis Cardinals three
other players and $4,000 in cash for
Dizzy DiMaggio had held out for salary
of SAC, 900 until a couple Of days after the
season started.
In the first game in Cub uniform the
Dizzy one twirled an easy victory over the
Cincinnati Reds, and was relieved after six
innings when the Cubs had the game in the
bag
Bob Teller, youthful pitcher of the
Cleveland Indians, whose arm was bad
during a part of last season, won his first
start by shutting out the st. Louis Browns,
allowing but one scratch hit.
Then there was Young Jim Bagby of
the Boston Red SOx pitching his first major
league game who famed five of the cham
piOn New York Yankees before he was
taken out for pinch hitter after hurting
six innings. He was credited as the winning
pitcher, the score being to A.
Perhaps the greatest hero of the OPP
ening games was Rip Collins, first baseman
of the Cubs, who suffered a broken leg
last August which it was feared might i'm
peril his playing future. In game with
the Reds, Collins batted out home rum a
double and two singles, scoring three runs
himself and driving in two others.
