request, along with other informa.
ton, the number Of employees on
the payroll of each employer as OF
March l, 1914, April l, 1914, and
May 1, 1914.
ION the basis of the information
received from each employer, en-
ployment ceilings will be establish.
co for each employer. However

ceiling figure. Any employer in the
area, other than state, county, on
city governmental agencies, or ag
ricultural employers, who have not
