Halted .'Industrial Operations Ail Ofer Country Brings About a Serious Condition. Washington" Nov. 6.?Morie than 500.000 workers have been thrown oat of emloympent by closing of factories and curtailed industrial operations since spring, according to estimates made fcere today. Director John Densmoi^e of the United States Employment service now |s organizing a nation-wide survey of the situation to determine |he exact extent of unemployment concerning which oijly estimates and informal reports now are received. The increasing unemployment in many sections is direccly due to the great nation-wide sfaike of buyers, begfatt early in the spring and still iar lull swing, according to government officials. The strike forced facKs tnrioc f.ft ,-i?ln9P nr nnerate on uart P?j ?- ? x * time. Other contributing causes are tLfc tight money market, liquidation of "frozen" loans forced by the ; banks and the flood of immigration now going* on at the pre-war of 1,1090,000 persons a year. m Nothing Alarming. Government officials ^o far believe there is little that is alarming " in the situation because many reports indicate that men and women luid off are rapidly finding new work in-most cases. Some of the laying off of workmen is seasonal. "Eastern railroads, will begin laying off men about December 1," said Vice President Maloy of the Union of Maintenance of Way Workers, i"' "? J? u? ^ ? xjere tuuav. jlius numuci ux men effected may reach 25,000. The men Ir are prepared, however. This laying off occurs almost every year." - ,:;ioie. than 200 employment offices maintained in 33 states by local ofBL ficials with the cooperation of the United States Employment service now are unusually Trnsy placing men and women in jobs. The managers of tHe local stations have little time to lualge. regulars reports to officials |g? here, it was sai3 today. . - Readers in .the A. F. of L. here W', profess not to be alarmed about the situation. They are giving it close study, however. ? Battle Foreseen. - Some leaders are preparing to me<$ a challenge which they say employers are planning. According to the labor men, the employers, noy that election is over, are bandiiig tov gether to stage a national battle against the closed shop. They want to establish the open shop and re * dues' w?.ges according to labor officials. This is likely to precipitate a new epidemic of labor troubles if undertaken, leaders say. President Gompers of the A. F. of L. recently declared workers will not submit to having their scales reduced. \ According to Director Hugh Kerwin of the labor department conciliation service, however, industrial relations now are the best in months. "Men are striking less," said Kerwin. "We now have 100 cases pend> ing but only a few minor cases involve strikes. In most cases the em " ?tj ? --.J WAHI/AW poem clcrl to pioyer auu w ux acxo ovb>u keep the factory going while we investigate and make recommendations far a change in conditions. It is true' that we have been asked to r-f mediate In some cases where employ" * era tried to cut wages. These cases, however, are few."

GUSHER KILLS DRILLER. hittaker-Kelly, came in so fast (and tream tore the arm from the driller. ter industry at Fort Smith, Ark. "Employers and workers got together and organized a committee to j investigate," said Kerwin. "They | agreed t^at work should continue t -nan/iino* investigation. A&YQQ 0 ^ ment could not be reached. Still there was no strike. Both sides then agreed to leave the grievance to an arbitration committee of three, one member of which was to be named by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Mr. Wilson named Ernest P. Gunldach, Chicago advertising man, who is going to.begin hearings November 15." Unemployment Centers. Unemployment so far reported here.seems to center in Philadelphia, where 40,000 textile workers were laid off; New England, Ohio, Illinois j ai^d on the Pacific coast. One government official who inves| tigated the New England situation j from Boston described the situation j as "very dark." The shoe manufacturing industry j is working 35 per cent, full time, he J reported, and the textile industry ! only 60 per cent. Employers claim ?this is due to a lack of orders, according to the report. ' Ohio officials report the rubber industry as employing few workers in comparison with last year while similar conditions are reported from the nntnmnhilo industrv at Detroit. One automobile manufacturing concern j laid off 15,000 men yesterday, ac cording to one report to take an in1 veniory. I A surplus of labor was reported by j employment managers of California | and Washington. ' Virtues cf Bare Feet.

While better working conditions can ' be attained by properly shading and installing the lamp, much can be accomplished by shading the eye. But i like lamp shades, eye shades may be j good and bad. To the latter class ! belongs the curved, opaque shade with i its edge made' conspicuous in the field j of view by a dark lining. Such a i shade, acting as a distracting object ! not only disturbs the adjustment of : the eye, but by darkening the upper | half of the field of view causes glare j on working surfaces on which there : !s no glare and increases the glare on ; surfaces on which glare is alreadj : present, medical men assert. ???
