LITTLE CHANGE SEEN IN WORK SITUATION

Indianapolis Alone Reports Gains in Survey of State. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Gradual improvement in industrial activity and a consequent decrease in the the number • of unemployed in the Indianapolis district during August was reported today by the United States department of labor’s monthly industrial survey. The increase in outdoor activity was not sufficient to absorb all the | jobless, but the ranks of the unemployed were not swelled during the ! month, despite a slight seasonal ! falling off of production in some \ lines. Building Activity Helps “A gradual improvement in industrial activity and employment occurred in the local industries, al - though there was still some unemployment apparent at the end of the month,” the Indianapolis report said. “The large volume of building in progress included the erection of residences and private garages, a commercial structure, two factories, a telephone building and other projects. This has materially reduced the surplus of skilled building trades operatives and unskilled workers. County and state highway construction gave employment to a large number of men in the Indianapolis industrial district. The supply of farm labor exceeded requirements.” For the state as a whole conditions were about the same as reported in June and July, scattered falling off in factory employment was about covered by increased construction and road work. Steei mills in the Calumet district are still operating below normal schedules as are most of the automotive plants throughout the state. Evansvihe reports $500,000 in new building projects under way. including county road work. South Bend reported $250,000 worth of new projects approved or actually begun during the month. 3,000 Miners Idle Coal mining in the Terrre Haute district is in a seasonal slump somewhat more severe than normal, with 3,000 diggers out of work. For the country as a whole the survey reported little change for the month, but “a brighter outlook developed toward the close in regard to industrial employment during the next sixty days.” The fact that the buying power of the country seems to be well sustained. Save in one or two spots, this is encouraging to manufacturers, and they are now planning to step up production schedules a trifle in anticipation of an expected increase in fall demand. Drought conditions have not been reflected as yet in industrial productivity, according to the report, but crop losses were a factor contributing to the surplus of farm labor.
