J. But O. OUson, secretary of the Bulld: ing Trades council of San Frahclaco, V seemed to take a different view. J -Things are fine as far as I can see," V he said. "As to the future well, we : aren't looking for trouble." . R. J. Clancy, assistant to the general manager of the Southern Pacific rail f way In charge of employment for that company, declared that "if we keep an i,' even keel'V there Is nothing to fear. JT MORE MEN THAJT JOBS . ' "There Is a gradual easing up of the I labor market," Clancy declared. "By f easing up, I mean a condition where there are more men looking for jobs than there are jobs. It is, I believe, due more to seasonal conditions than to anything Z else. . ' - "Conditions on this coast are much , different than they , are In the East .- Here we have a variety of industries agriculture, fruit. ., lumber, mines and many . things. The East Is dependent largely on manufacturing alone. For g; fign trade conditions might affect the East and causa a situation there which would not be reflected on this coast, $i : "I fail to see anything serious ahead If we keep . right on maintaining an even keel." - S.E.

In Great Britain there are 200,000 men drawing unemployment pay from the government, but there are tens of thousands more who have not benefited by- the payments. Thus far there has been no suffer ing. The weather has been mild. At the same time there is worry over pros pects for the-winter. The government has -urged , unions to admit unskilled labor to their ranks, especially In the building trades, which the government plans to use this winter in the construc tion of buildings. Later estimates of unemployment in Great Britain were placed at 401,000. Germany's .idle army is estimated at 400,000. Of these many - are : receiving government rations. Strikes have been frequent In Germany, but much of the employment has been Involuntary. ; - France has about 200,000 unemployed.
