Tress Association —By Telegraph—Copyright.
NEW YORK, February 19.
Upon the report of the Industrial Commissioner Governor Smith took steps to relieve the unemployment situation. He advised county supervisors to speed up public works and thus provide more jobs. The Governor also issued orders that members of Cabinet should hasten State buildings and construction projects. The report stated that the conditions in New York State are worse than at any time since 1921. [The Labor Bureau Group of Statistical Research Workers, connected with the labor unions in New York, announced an estimate of 4,000,000 persons unemployed in the United States, or 10 per cent, of those gainfully employed. The bureau claimed that the situation was serious, and merited investigation. The figures had no official authorisation, but it is interesting to note that Governor Smith has begun an investigation of the unemployed situation covering the whole of New York State.]
