LESS I*NEMIMiOYMENT IN SOUTH Millions Aro Ont of Work in the Northern Slut os. Washington, Jan. 27. . - Persons employed in industry in this country the ll rsl of this month numbered 3,173,100 less than the number em ployed a year ago, tho Department of Labor's employment service has an nounced, on tho basis of tho Drat nation-wide survey, which has Just been completed by a special staff of investigators. Director John 1$. Densmoro said that this figure did not necessarily represent tho number of persons ac tually unemployed, as it was "quite possible" that some of the worker.* had found employment in agricultu ral or other pursuits not covered by the survey. On tho other hand, some officials believed the army of unemployed possibly was larger than the ligures given, us no effort wa? made to as certain the reduction in the num ber of persons employed in pursuits other than those classed under tho head of "mechanical industry." Deduction ?Ml.? Per (Vat. The employment service's figures represented a reduction of 2(5.;? per cent in the number of workers em ployed In industry, as compared with January a year ago, and it was an nounced that they woro based "on the consensus of tlgures from neutral bodies, State? labor departments and State commissioners of manufac tures, stat?; and municipal employ ment cervices, workmen's compensa tion bureaus, employers' and employ ees' organizations, and all other sim ilar sources of information compe tent to furnish same. Michigan led tho -States in propor tional reduction, with 82 per cent, and Ohio and Indiana followed, with a reduction in employment of 50 per cent each. Next came Illinois, with ii per cent; Connecticut with 43 per cent; Massachusetts with 3 8 per cent; Wisconsin with 22 por cent; Now York, 28 per cont, and New Jersey, 2 2 per cent. The per centages for otker States were not given, ii Hig Cut in Auto Industry. The largest ?eroentage of reduc tion in specific industries-fiil per cent-occurred In tho automobllo and accessory Industry, and this was taken to account largely for tho great reduction la employmont In Michigan.
