UNEMPLOYMENT IS
 STILL DROPPING
Labor Commissioners Re- port of Dec. 2 Shows
 Good Improvement

Hartford, Dec. 8.-Accession te- ports which showed a net decrease in unemployment of 1924 from the middle of September up to October 2l, showed a further cut of 5,73o from the latter date up to December 2. Labor Commissioner Cornelius J.. Danaher announced today.
 The net decrease is obtained by subtracting the total number Of separations from the total number of accessions as revealed in the weekly reports of employers, subject to the unemployment compensa Cion law. Such employers are lawfully bound to report the names of all persons hired and those whose em- ployment was terminated. The en- ployment separations referred to in- dicate termination of jobs through resignations, dismissals and lay-offs.
 Prior to September g, the reports showed unemployment increases, but for every week since then, with the exception of one, the accessi0ns were higher than separations for a total of 18,953. Since October 2l, when Commissioner Danaher re- leased the last figures for publica- ton, there has been one week, N0- vember 25, when the separations were higher than the accessioas, There were, however, only IS more separations for that period.
 The accession gains by weeks, follow: October 28, 2-1l8: November {. l,262; November Il, 862; Decem- Der 3, 692.t
 While the figures do not exactly portray the unemployment condi- tions in the state. the figures do show a trend, Commissioner Dana her pointed out, as q large majority of the employees in tine state are cov- cred by the unemployment compen- sakinn law.
