EMPLOYMENT IN SLATE IMPROVES, BUREAU REPORTS % Situation Better Than Four Months Ago, Except for Miners, Except for conditions in the coal fields the industrial employment situation in Indiana is better than it has been for the last four months, according to the United States employment service of the Department of Labor today, says a Times Washington bureau dispatch. In the coal fields of the State, however, many miners were out of employment, a., were thousands of men in the bituminous coal mining industry throughout the country. In fact, the situation in this industry is becoming so acute that the employment service today issued an appeal to road-building contractors and other employers needing labor to Iroake known their needs for help by telegram or letter to Washington. Miners Need Job In Indiana the service reports that it has been extremely difficult to find places for the miner in other occupations until the coal mining picks up again in the fall. The steel industry is starting to show gains in production and in the Calumet district especially many ex-, tensions and additions to plants are being planned. There is a steady demand for farm help as crops requiring considerable additional labor are now being harvested. The improvement shown during the past four months in the general industrial employment should show further improvement by Sept. 1, according to the Labor Department. Surplus Shown Here In Indianapolis the service says there is a surplus of workers in some lines of manufacture, especially the automobile, machinery and foundry. Most all plants, however, are being operated even though on curtailed schedules. Building in Indianapolis showed rome signs of slackening during the first of July, but is starting to improve. On the outskirts of the city a good demand for farm labor is reported. At Evansville a large surplus of furniture workers was reported. Building and road construction is very active at this city, and much skilled and common labor is finding employment in this activity.
