DISCOUNTS PREDICTIONS
OF MUCH UNEMPLOYMENT
Washington. D. C. Feb. 7. Fears of
long continued unemployment were
discounted Thursday ln a statement
by the training service of the depart-
ment of labor which predicted that
when agricultural and industrial con-
cerns get under way in the spring
there will be a shortage of several
million men. Manufacturers were
urged to begin at once a training
program to increase the efficiency of
the help they now have in anticipa-
tion of the shortage to come later.
The statement said practical cessa-
tion of immigration ln the last four
years had caused a loss of !50000
new Inhabitants and that probably
1.M0.000 American workers would be
under arms In Franco for many
months. Estimating that farming in
the spring would need 2.8O0.000 men
and that factories and building oper-
ations would require large numbers
officials said there soon would be
keen competition between factories
and farmers for unskilled labor.
