EMPLOYMENT IS
MUCH INCREASED
National Defense Program
Has Been BOOn-Peak
Not Yet Reached

Washington, July 26-Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins, reporting
large increases in employment as
q result of the national defense
program, predicted today that the
peak of employment would not be
reached for at least a year on the
basis of present defense orders.
She estiina ted that employment
in non-agricultural industries on
June Is was 100000 more than a
year ago. Return of another 1,000,-
600 men tow rok by fall now seems
probable, other labor officials said.
The increase in non-agricultural
employment was almost entirely a
result of the defense program, Miss
Perkins said. She estimated that
80 1888 900 workers were employed in
such industries on June Is, an in
crease of 235, 900 over May Is and
10000 over June Is, 1889. The May
double the normal seasonal In
crease.
Employment in the six major de-
to June increase was more than
Tense industries Shipbuiolding
aircraft, machine tools, engines,
aluminium and explosives-increased
1890 between May Is and June IS,
Miss Perkins said; on June is en-
ployment in those industries was
1l3,300 larger than the 1887 aver
age.
8 In contrast with the usual May
June decline of 10000 in factory
employment, factories took on 5o,-
900 additional workers during those
30 days this year, she reported. The
increased employment in the de-
Tense industries was due largely to
construction work and installation
Of machines, she said, and the big
gest increase will come when these
factories are ready to start oper-
ating on production schedules.
Others Stimulated
Other inSANtries have been stimuli
lated indirectly by government Or
ders. The steel industry hired $1,000
more workers between May Is and
June Is; electrical machine plants
added 5000 workers and wooden
and worsted goods plants hired 1000
more workers.
Employment In the federal, state
and local government service, in
GLIDING the armed forces, navy
yards and arSenals increased by
5000, Miss Perkins said.
The increase in employment was
accompanied by higher wages in
many industries, factory rayrolls
increasing IL per cent with z per
cent employment increase as a re-
suit Of wage increases given 25,827
workers, she reported. Other wage
rate increases affected 1000 work
erS In the paper and pulp and in
che electrical machinery industries,
5000 In the shipbiulding industry,
a,OOO In the rayon industry end L.
800 In the chemical industries.
The number Of workers on WPA
urojects on June Is decreased. Cue
10 8 reduced budget, to 1896, 900,
4 reduction of 244,000 from May Is
and $4,000 below June is, 1889,
Hiss Perkins reported.

CHAPTER XII

II seemed to Anne Norris that she
was listening to the boom of a big
bass drum. 1t had steady, pound
ing rhythm, and it was loud, ever so
loud. Slowly as she struggled up
through waves of Inconsistencies,
she realized that the drum she
heard was the terrible pounding in
her own head.
She felt sick and dizzy. her head
ached. She wondered where she
was. Somewhere that was very
dark, and very cramped. She was
standing up, propped up against
. wall. The space was so small
that 1t was almost impossible TO
move.
She started to call out. realized
that heavy cloth had been

. STORIES
IN STAMPS
Fighting Firms Honored
! In Red Cross Series

In Red Gross Series
THE story of Finland is a story
= of wars, dating from the Swed-
ish conquest of pagan tribes in
the 18th century, to the 1910 war
with Russia. The philatelic his
tory of centuries of fighting Isl
given in recent issue of four Red
Cross semi-postals, picturing sol-i
diers.
Finland is also notable, to stamp
collectors, for its postal system,
one of the worlds oldest. Mail de-
livery began in Finland more than
800 years ago, with runners as
postmen. Runners were required
to cover six miles daily, forbidden
to speak to anyone while on duty.
Finland had a pony express in
1638-200 years before the Amer
ican system. The horse later gave
way to trains and today airplanes
carry large part of the country's
mail.
Stamps were introduced in Fin
Land in 1856, while Finland was
under Czarist rule. Russia did not
begin using stamps until a year
later.
One Of Finland's most unusual
stamps is the Mourning Stamp"
OF 1901, deep black stamp with
the Finnish coat-of-arms in red.
The stamps were distributed Sc
cretely, used as propaganda
against Russia.

NOMINATION of Wendell
L. Willkie for the presi-
dency by the Republicans is
one of those rare things that
again Justifies our democratic
form of government. Will
kie, a practically unknown
individual as far as politics
goes, within a few months
sold" himself to the Repub-
lican party as a man of the
hour" His nomination was
achieved out in the open.
There were no locked doors
behind which oldtime political
barons pulled strings to get
the man they wanted. Will
kie avoided that type of wire
pulling. He went out on the
street, AS it were, and with
his magnetic personality, his
ability to coin pungen
phrases, and with his back
ground of successful bust
ness experience. managed to
achieve a nomination where
none believed it possible a
few months ago.
1t was a wholesome thing
this new departure in poll
tics. 1t was a heartening af-
fair, stimulating to the think
ing voter, and gives promise
of better deal to the public
in the future. America is
again on safe ground.
