Employment in June
Hits Highest Peak
In Nation S History
Figure Is 5000. 900
Ahead Of 1929 Average,
Survey Reports
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Employ-
ment in the United States reached
the highest peak in history in June,
af1ording jobs to 53,l20,000 workers,
the National Industrial Conference
Board estimated today in an en-
ployment survey.
This was 1,359,0Oo greater than
the number employed in May and
6,193.000 above the figure for June.
1910. It was more than 5000 900
ahead Of the 1929 average, a big
year for employment in the record
books.
Unemployment, the Conference
Board reported, dropped to 1850, 900
in June from 3,848,000 in May,
reaching the lowest level since June,
1880.
Accounting for the June rise, the
survey said, we're greater than sea-
sonal gains in all employment
fields. The number of workers in
manufacturing showed a contra
seasonal increase of 100000; con-
struction provided jobs for $4,000
more persons in June than in May,
the total exceeding 100000 for the
first time since September, 1880.
There were almost half a mil
lion more persons employed in ag-
riculture in June than in May" said
the survey. There was an increase
of 181 900 in the service industries,
In which are included the armed
forces. The service industries now
employ more than 100000, which
is almost 100000 more than in
June, 1910.
The number of unemployed in
June was slightly greater than in
June, 1890, but since that month
the increase in the total labor force
has amounted to about 6,500,000
persons"

This appears to be the trout
setup by the state game depart
ment:
Concentrate on planting all
lakes -.
Concentrate on developing and
propagating only the winter
steelhead run.
Which means, stream anglers
you will have no more
planting of cutthroats and rain
bows in our many streams.
I am rather reliably informed
that the department is satisfied
that any stream planting re-
suits only in failure.
II is the departments biolog-
lists conclusions that trout
planted In our alluring streams
only 60 to sea to disappear or
die, 1 am Informed.
IL that Ia TO be the policy oil
the department and Its young
college biologists, then stream
anglers will be compelled to rely
upon nature to care for them.
II nature takes care Of the
stream anglers during the regu-
lar trout season as well AZ she
has the winter steelhead anglers,
there will be little to worry
about. But can she in the face
of the long attack? Hardly.
Abolition of the traps and
classification Of the steelhead,
a true trout, as a game fisn
; have made the steelhead winter
runs what they are today.
Those elements :. and niue
else are responsible.
