Industrial Jobs
And Pay Rolls Here
Continue 10 Rise
Trend in Contradiction
To Seasonal Course,
Labor Figures Show

Industrial employment and pay
rolls in the District more than kept
pace with upward national trends
in these respects during November,
it was disclosed in monthly statistics
compiled by the Labor Department.
Pointing out that the rising trends
were in contradiction to usual sea-
sonal movements, Secretary Perkins
declared in her monthly report,
made public yesterday:
Factory employment and pay
rolls continued to rise. The gain
of IL per cent in employment indi-
Gates unemployment of approx
mately 10000 factory workers be-
tween mid-October and mid-No-
vember. The rise was particularly
significant as an indication of re-
covery in industrial activity, since
factory employment usually declines
by Is per cent and pay rolls by 80
per cent from October to Novem-
ber. AS compared with No
vember of last year, employment
was 104 per cent lower.
THE November gain of tWo-tenths
of l per cent in factory pay rolls
represents an increase of $3.50, 900
in weekly pay checks of factory
wage earners, and is noteworthy not
only because it is contraseasonal,
but also because the national OBJ
servance of Armistice Day for the
first time would be expected to re-
suit in a relatively greater decline
than in previous year"
The factory employment and pay
roll indexes rose above the levels of
any months since last December.
The figures do not include work
financed by Federal emergency
agencies.
For the District, employment was
up l6 per cent and pay rolls up l
per cent. Maryland showed a rise
of OIL per cent in employment but
drop of % per cent in pay rolls,
while Virginia reported a drop of
16 in employment and a drop of
% per cent in pay rolls.

divided into higher and lower in
come groups, 81 800 being the divid-
ing line.
On the question whether they
liked hill-billy music, 46 per cent OF
the responses as a whole said yes
and 40 per cent mo-" The other IA
per cent don't care. In the lower
income group. 81 per cent liked it,
but in the higher bracket only %

Snyder Is G|um,
Facing Christmas
In Jail Cell
Appeal From Conviction
Of Attempted Murder
Delayed Until Tuesday

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23.-His
naty brown suit exchanged for a
somber blue jail uniform, Martin
(the Gimp Snyder, convicted of at
tempting to murder Pianist Myrl
Alderman, sat glumly in his cell to-
day and remarked:
This is an aitch of way for the
story to end"
The end of the story of what hap
pened the night of October IS in
Alderman's Hollywood Hills home
was written yesterday when jury
of six men and six women found
Snyder guilty of wounding the
pianist who succeeded him as the
husband of Vocalist Ruth Etting, but
acquitted him of attempting to mur-
der Miss Etting and his daughter,
Edith Snyder, and of carrying a gun
with defaced numbers.
A charge that he kidnapped Alder
man was dismissed by the court, on
motion of the prosecutor, after the
jury announced there was no possi-
blllty Of agreement on that allega-
ton, earlier, a charge that Snyder
kidnapped Miss Etting and Miss
Snyder likewise was dismissed at the
States request.
Faces Christmas in Jail.
Conviction on the single count
carries with it term of up to 20
years in prison. Snyder faced
Christmas in Jail, because his attor-
ney, Jerry Giesler, announced he
would not plead for a new trial until
Tuesday, when sentencing is sched-
uled.
The Gimp, quiet and composed sat
with his fingers crossed as the jury
filed in, nearly 48 hours after re-
celvlng the case. He heard the
word guilty" on the first count, and
glanced quickly toward the ceiling, as
tears formed in his eyes.
He quickly regained his COM
posure. however, and by the time
the other verdicts had ben read
was smiling. Turning to Deputy
Sheriff Cecil Luskin, he said:
Come on, Cecil. let's go. because
1 do not want anybody to feel badly
on account of me-" On the way he
stopped suddenly, grasped Geisler,
and planted a kiss on the LAWYERS
flushed forehead.
Has No Hard Feelings.
Later, he commented
Il have no hard feelings toward
anybody. I wish the little lady miss
Etting) and my baby, Edith, a very
merry Christmas"
Comments of the other parties
concerned were:
Miss Etting-I bear no malice
toward the colonel. 1t was up to the
jury. and I think justice was done.
Miss Snyder-I hate to see my
father 60 to prison, but I feel JUS
tice has been done
Alderman-Let the law take its
course.
Meanwhile Alderman figured in
anOtnef legal action, when his at
tractive blond divorced wife, Alma,
obtained court order requiring
him to increase his payments for
support of their 14-month-o baby,
Norma, from $40 to SOS monthly.
Pawned Wrist Watch.
Il had to pawn my wrist watch
and diamond engagement ring so our
baby could have Christmas" the
second Mrs. Alderman told Su-
perior Judge Leslie E. Still, ex-
planning that $40 month is required
for medical treatments for the child
Alderman replied that he is job
less because of publicity attendant
upon the trial, provides $50 month
for support of 12-year-old son by
his first wife and $50 for the sup
port of his mother. Judge Still
said he was confident the unem-
ployment was temporary.
