LABOR CONDITIONS IN MANY
COUNTRIES SHOW IMPROVEMENT
i
(LONDON, May 16 .--The unem
ployment situation throughout the
world is favorable compared with
(that of a year ago, says the current
issue of the tnternatraoal Labor Re
view, the monthly publication of the
International Labor office of the
(League of Nations at Geneva. The
ipeHodlcal has Just finished a world
wide survey on unemployment
(In France and Belgium unemploy
ment is almost non-existent. In
North America employment was ex
caeringly good (toward, the close of
VMS as compared with 1921. though
in Canada figures for October and
November shoiw^ a contraction as
compared with provioud^lars.
In the (United States employment
baa (been steadily Increasing during
Me past year and business condi
tions continue to improve. Produc
tion was very gtfod during January,
11)23, and apparently no one a year
ago expected such a rapid recovery.
In (the United Kingdom the general
unemployment index numbers show
little chance at (the end of January,
1*33, as compared with December,
1332. The activity in coal mining, in
•tool-shoot manufacture, and in the
worsted Industry was satisfactory,
tmt most at the ot.h<ir prikcipal in
* ^
flurries aro still under the spoil of
depression.
In itlie Scandinavian countries and
In tho Netherlands the situation
shows Improvement.
do Italy tho groat increase of the
numbers unemployed recorded the
end of the year was due to unem
ployment in the mining and out-door
industries, a.s well as in agricul
ture. ^
Polish industries wero compara
tively active during tho last three
months of 11122. add a comparison
with the corresponding month of last
year allows that unomployment has
greatly diminished. In Switzerland
unemployment is still declining.
Austria and 'Germany are the only
two countries for which unemploy
ment figures show a substantial in
crease at tho end of 1922 as com-!
parod with 1921. It has been esti
mated that Austrian industries were
Working at 40 per cent of their ca
pacity at tho end of 1922. In Ger
many reasonable unemployment In
the building industry Is especially
acute this year. Employment In
the tnotal, electrical and chemical
industries is Still good, the decline
bring chiefly tn the printing, food
