Employment Gaining in United States

Washington.--Further expansion in employment was reported by the United States employment service in its latest bulletin. The textile industry, on the upgrade for six weeks, provided employment for "many hundreds” of additional workers, while mills producing rayon, woolen goods, silk products, hosiery and men’s and women’s clothing "stepped up production schedules,” according to the report. Operations in leather boot and shoe factories were characterized as “satisfactory,” with forces increased in a few localities. Most shipyards kept large numbers engaged, while a number of bituminous coal mines were reopened.
