_J

strike sympathizers openly defied the
police here to-night. Two men *-ere

policeman, attempting to dicarm him.
Strike sympathizers hooted the police?
men and threatened to take the prison?

When policemen arrested a man near
the Armour p]ant tor alleged disorderly
conduct and were waiting for a patrol
wagon, a crowd gathered and again
threatened to free the pri oner. The
police, in one instance, swept a crowd
before them with bayonet-tipped riot
guns, clearing a street for blocks.
Union officials said they had urged
every man on strike to be on the picket
lines, but that they had cautioned them
not to u^e violence or carry weapons.

W. F. Morgan Believes
Spring Will Brinp Ri^
Improvement in Labor
S ifrht improvement in New York's
unemployment Fituation amounting to
l1* per cent, was attained from Oc?
tober 17 t.i December to. according to
a report made public yesterday by the
Committee on Unemployment Statis
tics, the 1 ca1 organization which be?
gan functioning three months ago in
accordance with recommendations made
by the unemp'oyment conference at
Washington.
Figures, which are based on esti?
mates and other data from puMic offi?
cials, industrial associations labor un?
ions, and, in some cases, from individ?
ual employers in various industries
show there were S30.915 unemployed
persons in the city on December 15
whereas the number on October 17 was
342.8R0, a reduction of 11 945.
Ephemeral seasonal conditions were
given as the probable cause for the im?
provement. In addition, it was said
last night by William Fellowes Morgan,
chairman of the committee, that pres?
ent indications do not point to any
sharp betterment for at least ninety
days. Spring should bring with it a
marked improvement, however. Mr.
, Morgan said, although he added that he
. does not look forward to a restoration
. of normal employment conditions by
that time.
; The chief increase in employment
I shown in the report was In the manu
; facture of millinery, men'.-, furnishings,
sheet metal, hardware, jewelry, heat
: ins: and ventilating apparatus, pianos,
leather products, and paper and print?
ing materials. A considerable number
of professions showed improvement,
particularly those of a< tors and engi?
neers.
The greatest decrease given was in
the building trades, b t ?vith long
I shoremen, stevedores and other trans
. portation workers still heading ail un
: employed groups by a wide margin. A
: dearth of new building project- wa
presented as the chief reason for the
failing off of jobs in the building
' trades, in which structural steel erec?
tion shows the greatest unemployment
increase. One angle of employment de
. crease, the manufacture of women's
: clothing, was due largelj to the strike
of garment workers. Jobs in the sh p
building and repairing trades showed
an advanced '-carel';'.
Employment conditions in foreign
trade, wholesale commission and brok?
erage housee, and in connection witl
banks, insurance companies, real estate
! firms and public service offices re
: mained virtually uncnanged.
An unemployment decrea.-e among
'hotel workers was attributed not so
much to any actual employment in
crea e in the io?al hotels a? to a mi?
gration of waiters and other hotel
Worker? t i Somhern winter resorts.

Hudson & Essex
Specialized Service
YOUR car is one of your most valuable
possessions. It should be one of your
most valued treasures. It can be a con?
stant source of comfort and satisfaction
if you treat it properly.
Every motor car in time requires service apart
from what is guaranteed in the contract of sales.
When that time comes, do not entrust such a
valuable article to inexpert hands.
The Hudson Service Station is the most com?
plete institution of its kind in New York City
?probably in the entire country. Every* em?
ployee is a specialist in the care of Hudson ana
Essex Cars. The charges are moderate; the
work equal to the best that can be done any?
where.
When your Hudson or Essex car requires
attention, bring it to the Hudson Service Sta?
tion. Nowhere else can you be certain of quid,;,
efficient attention by experts, at a minimum of
cost.
