By Back-to-Work
March in June
Latest Unemployment
Figure Is Estimated
At 9,552,000
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. "A gradual
back-to-Work march in private in
dustry reduced unemployment in the
United States by about 424,0OO in
June, the National Industrial Con-
ference Board estimated today.
The board, a private research or
ganlzation, said approximately
l,l42,OOO have gone out of the jobless
tabulation since February.
Latest Estimates.
Its latest unemployed estimate
was 9,552000, the lowest since De-
cember, 1897, compared with 1O,e59,.
900 in June. 1888.
At the depression peak in March,
1888, the boards figure was up to
l4,1O6,000. The total had been cut
to 1851 900 in September, 1887, on
the verge of the severe autumn COL
lapse IN production that year.
The latest estimated showed 18
out OF every hundred available work
erS 1obless, compared with less than
one out OF every hundred in 1929.
Miners Return.
The return of 100000 bituminous
miners to work in the coal fields was
the largest source of gain in June.
the board noted, but all major
branches of industry contributed.
The increase in manufacturing en-
ployment, it said, was contrary to
expectations for the season.
The emergency labor force. rep-
resented by the w. P. A.. C. c. G.
and Federal projects works program,
declined from 2918,O0O in Nav to
2,o93,O00 in June" the board added,
