SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922. THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND
GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN INDUSTRY SHOWN i BY REPORTS FROM ALL SECTIONS OF NATION
(Br Associated Press.) , ; CHICAGO, April 29. General Improvement la the Industrial situation, described In several Instances as slow but steady, particularly over conditions aa they existed In the winter months, as Indicated in reports gathered by the Associated Press from federal, state, labor and industrial leaders In many states of the union, r Labor commissioners and other officials In virtually every state from
which reports were received, not only declared that unemployment had materially been lessened In the last few months, but nearly all were optlmistlo concerning the future, holding that the opening of seasonable lines of work, such as agriculture and road building construction would help greatly la absorbing the surplus of workers. : While no definite figure on the present number of unemployed was available, approximately 1,350,000 persons were reported idle in sixteen states from which estimates were received, targe industrial Btates such as New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
Contributed more than 1,000,000 to this lotal, New York leading with an estimated 600,000 out of work. The total population of the sixteen states was in excess of 43,000,000. 6,0OO,0C0 Unemployed Samuel Gompers, , president of the American Federation of Labor, estimated the unemployed at 6,000,000. Miners and other workers on strike were not Included in the state estimated. The miners' strike, which
cnion officials estimated as involving
faearly 700,000 men, was the largest industrial controversy In progress as May Day approached, with a consid
erable number of workers affected by textile and stone cutting strikes in
ehutdowns in New England and in minor walkouts In other parts of the
country,
In some cities there was declared to
be a demand for skilled workers, although the supply of common labor, generally was declared to be larger than the demand. Some state labor department officials definitely stated that the unemployment crisis had been fcissed in their states and that a move toward normal conditions was in progress. Some localities reported that conditions already virtually were normal, but from most of the states reporting there was declared to be unemployment in many lines. Only in a few isolated Instances, however, was it declared to be acute, and the general tenor of the statements was one of optimism, particularly with reference to the future. ; Building Activity.
