statement.
Mr. Davia aaid prewnt unemploy.

of pcrtona upon whoe earninga no

"While we have our unemployed,
let u not lorget the I2.000.UUO who

laid. ''A further encouraging fact
ii that $500,000,000 ia now available

Positive signs of business recov
ery have been furnished by th: com
iniisioncr of labor statistics, Secre
tary Davit declared.
"Taking all the families of the
United State there are, on the
average, over two breadwinners to
every family," the statement con
tinued. "If one of these bread
winners ia unemployed, it seriously
crinoles. but it does not necessarily
impoverish the family. Mind you,
I am not saying that there is not
at thia time considerable actual suf
fering among our people nor that
this winter may not bring more suf
fering unless something intelligent
and effective is done to relieve' the
situation. w
Discussing efforts to relieve the
situation, Secretary Davis said the
emolovment service of the Deoart-
merit of Labor was doing all it could
- to place woikcr in positions.
AidttI in Harvest.
"During the haimt," he explained,
"it sent between Si.vOO and 60,000
r.ien to the farm and kept them
. moving as tVi lir.rve'-t season moved
northward.
The empl )vni'.it service is at
present taking care ci the thresh ng
, and corn cutting s. '.nation wherevr
aud'tional njen arc needed for ih's
purpose.
"Cotton and wtolcni goods already
show signs of recovery and there is
scarcely a plant in the country turn-
. ing out silk hosiery that , is not
working full or overtime. Silk fab
rics are on the move. These things
speak for themselves and may be
: speaking the same language as the
figures showing that more garages
than houses have been built in re
cent month v
"Shoe factories seem to be work-
' ing for the most part on fancy high
priced women' shoes. This may be
accounted for by the further fact
that men now out of the hardy
forms of employment are not shoe
buyers. ' The demand for these will
come when the railroads and the
factories are started on a more go
ing scale, when the more staple
grades of shoes for men will, come
into larger demand. That cannot
be long delayed. The situation be
gins yto brighten." ,
