LABOR DEPARTMENT REPORTS 1ID-WEST UNEMPLOYMENT GUT

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 6 Bread lines In the midwest have been nearly eliminated and unemployment greatly reduced this winter according to reports from state labor departments, Industrial commissions, employers' associations, and employment bureaus. ' The causes were given as improved - industrial conditions, mild winter and considerable out , ot doors work for common labor. An exception was reported at Cincinnati in a floating negro population, out of work, whose - presence is attributed partly to migration to northern Jobs during the rail strike last summer and partly to layoffs from work on two government dams near the city. ; The northwest generally reports a demand for lumberjacks, with consid- ' - erable call also for building workers and common laborers. At Columbus the State-City Free Employment Bureau estimated 3,000 men out of work compared with about 15,000 a year ago. The Employers' - Association of Detroit, representing 79 firms, reported in mid January 194.697 men and women employed, and estimated the employed at 300,000 to "- 350,000. It said more are employed now in Detroit than ever before In the city's history. Employment Normal The Associated Employers of Indianapolis reported employment so . ,cearly normal that no effort has been made to check the total out of work. Welfare organizations in Louisville reported no authoritative figures, but

said the unemployed were not numerous. At St. Louis the State Labor

Bureau estimated about 5.000 out of . work compared with 45.000 last win

ter. Some former brewery workers were reported among the unemployed For Illinois the State Department of

; " Labor, estimated 14.t per cent more

- employed amounting to .110,000 per

sons, than a year ago. The State Labor Commissioner of Iowa estim ated the unemployed at less than 20,000 compared with 40,000 last year, The U. S. Employment Bureau .at Milwaukee estimated the number out of work as small, while the State In dustrial Commission office at Madison reported employment conditions fairly satisfactory. RATLIFF DESCRIBES ATMOSPHERE CHANGE The cold wave which, now grips the vicinity Is the consequence of an unu sual condition, known to the weather man as "an unexpected incident, Waiter Ratliff, for three yearsweatner observer at LaFayette, declares. A similar condition, he said, occurred during the Civil war, the bitter weath er following in which so many sol diers were frozen to death. . Preceding the. storm a low barome tric, pressure came in from the coast. brinelnff the wet and fntrsrv -wpathpr: followed by snow and rain, afr. Ratliff says. During a fo gthere are no cur rents of air, and this weather condi tion left the interior of the United -States open for just such a union of storms as followed, he said. "When it had passed east a storm developed in Arizona and remained stationary for two or three days. Two more storms gathered, one in the Arc tic and one in Mexico. The one in the Arctic, being the most intense, started moving first, following down the Rocky mountain coast until it reached the Arizona zone, where the two- storms merged. As the Arctic storm moveu it came so swuuy mat ; nu air luiioweu anu nn u came altitude air also, which together caused the cold weather. Form Triple Storm "After merging with the Arizona . storm the Arctic storm started east and united with,, the storm moving from the Mexican district, forming a triple storm in one. Resultant was rain in the south and, the low temperatures in the north. "The air we have now." Mr. Ratliff said, "is Canadian air from the Arctic regions and altitude air from the upper atmosphere, both of them being cold. This cold air which followed the storm so reduced the temperature that it will be several days before it is warmer. Fall of moisture in the form of snow or rain will follow bringing with it a balancing of the temperature again," Mr. Ratliff said. Police Court N ews FINED $5, COSTS Tim Kelly was fined $5 and costs Tuesday in police court for public intoxication. Mr. Kelly, who had been fined $1 and costs recently on the same charge -was warned by Mayor Handley not to appear in court again on the same charge. Mr. Kelly is said to have had several bottles of lemon extract on I113 person when arrested Monday by Officer William VIOLATES VEHICLE LAW: E. M. Bowers, who lives three miles north of C'enterville, was arrested Monday by Officer Graham for violation of the motor vehicle law. He was warned to obtain his license plates, then released.

It is declared that August Thyssen found it very difficult to get suf ficient fund3 from the banks to meet payments due December 31 last As the correspondent motored through Duisburg. Ruhrort, Hamorn, Oberhausen and Huelheim, he noted that most of the steel plants and mines were working but that the rail road yards were all idle except for a few trains manned by the French. However, the trainmen were at work in the private yards and plants. Navigation is at a complete stand still. At Ruhrort, the correspondent saw two tugs flying the Dutch flag and one with, the Frehch emblem hauling two Coal barges up the Rhine toward Alsace. The river was practically deserted. The industrial magnates have not lost courage. "We can hold out as long as the French can," seems to be the consensus of opinion." DUESSELDORF, Feb. 6. The re turn to the Ruhr of General Weygand and Minister of Public Works LeTrocauer to co-ordinate transports tion finds the railway service demor alized and the resistance generally strengthened, presumably as a result of the visit of Chancellor Cuno. Railway workers and public offi cials particularly appear to have been stimulated to further sacrifices m be half of the Reich by the chancellor's call upon the occupied area, and hence the dealock continues. A demonstration at Dorsten yester day, occasioned by the expulsion of the burgomaster, was broken up by the protection police. Several per sons were hurt.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

4 Music Memory Contest Facts Stephen Foster, the pioneer of American composers, had one day finished a song about a river. However, the name of the river was not as yet chosen He wanted just the right word. His brother came to his ielp with an old map; after searching for some time, the name "Swanee river was discovered. As soon as Foster's eye caught the name, his decision was made and thus was launched in history a river that otherwise no one would ever have dreamed of. The song has become one of the classics of American music. Sentiment deep, heartfelt- sentiment is the power of the song. It pictures an old negro of the pre-Civil war days going back in spirit to the home of his youth and desiring to once more be taken to his "kind old mother", that he might there live and die". There is only "one little hut among the bushes" that he loves, and no matter where he roams, that little hut sadly "to his memory rushes." Everywhere he goes the world is "sad and dreary," and whatever, he does his heart still "grows dreary, far from the old folks at home," Mrs. Clara Davis, Lynn, To Be Buried Thursday LYNN, Ind., Feb. 6. Mrs. Clara Davis, 59 years old, who died Monday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Leonard Clark, northeast of here, will be buried at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning. Funeral services will be held at the North Christian church, here, with the Rev. Cline officiating. Burial will be in the Arba cemetery.
