There were 400,000 veterans of the world war out of work In the United States on March 1 last, according to an estimate received by the American Legion. This Is a reduction of about 100,000 from the "peak" of more than 500,000 jobless ex-service men In the coun-1 try shortly after January 1, last,1 and the Legion reports etate that! there Is promise of further Im-j provement. The survey of the national sit-1 uation on which these figures are based was made by the American Legion Weekly, official publica tion of the Legion, which state; that the unemployment situation I as affecting the veterans "appears ' to have taken a turn for the bet ter." ! A chain of employment agen cies operated by the Legion in every state has done much to re lieve the s'tuation, says the Leg ion official. The Legion has been instrumental in obtaining worR for veterans, in discourag ing the migration of unemployed men toward the great industrial centers and has encouraged a movement from cities to the farms. It has demanded that workers who left their positions to go to war should enjoy senior ity rights on a par with those of military age who stayed at home. Ex-service men have suffered more in proportion to their num bers than other workers, accord ing to the Legion's survey, be cause of the operation or seniority rules and efficiency standards. Nearly a year is require for the returned veteran to get back to his old stride In industry, accord ing to the testimony of large em ployers of labor. Another thing that has handicapped the ex-soldier is his restlessness and nom adic tendencies, both products of the strain and circumstances of war service. Reopening of factories and mills in the textile regions of New Eng land and in tho mining and in dustrial centers of Pennsylvania leads observers in those parts to believe the worst is past, accord ing to the Legion's survey. The automobile ' centers of Detroit, Cleveland and Indianapolis report! a slight improvement of condl-' lions. in Ch'.caso conditions are stationary it is F.aid. Throughout the . agricultural middle west a general movement from the cities and towns to the farms Is reported. The 'average ex-soldier had little taste for ag riculture when he came back from the war. It was hard to keep them down on the farm af ter they had "seen Paree." They choe to work In small factories or stores in the neighboring coun try seat, where, during 1919. the jobs were plenty and wags hl?h. When those jobs began to go the-e was at first an exodus toward the larger cities. The Legion strove to discourage, this. That move ment has about spent itself and farmers throughout th west now report little difficulty in getting help, and except in the larger cities there are few able-bodied ex-service men reported out of work in the middle west. The south reports improvement. Dixie has been burdened with a larger quota of wirier floaters than usual this year, according to reports. Some are r.'iw finding farm work in the south, others are driTting north, largely to sei ne on farms.
