CHICAGO, April 29 General im
provement In tho Industrial situa
tion, described In sovoral Instances
as slow but steady, particularly over
conditions a they existed in tho win
ter months, was Indicated In report
gathered by tho Associated Presi
from federal, state, labor and indus
trial leaden In many states of tho
union.
Labor commissioners and othor of
ficials in virtually every state from
which reports wore received, not only
declared that employment bad mat
erially been lessened In tho last few
months, but nearly all wore ontlmls
tic concerning the future, holding
that tho opening of seasonable lines
of work, such as agriculture, and
road and building construction would
help greatly In absorbing the surplus
of workers.
Whllo no definite figure on the
present number of unemploved
available, anoroTlmatelr 1,360.000

department officials definitely stated
thnt thn unemployment crisis hail
bcon passed In their states and that
a move toward normal condition
was In progress. 8ome localities re
ported that conditions already virtu
ally were normal, but from most of
the states reporting there w declar
ed to be unemployment In many lines.
Only In a few Isolated Instances,
however, was It declared to be acute,
and the general tenor of tho state
ments was ono of optimism, particu
larly with referenco to tho future.
A program of Intense building ac
tivity and city and stato Improve
ment work was outlined In reports
from virtually every state, and It was
expocted that many Idle worker
would find employment In a gigantic
construction boom which was Indi
cated from many sources.
Monthly records of building artl
vlty kept by tho American contractor
slnco 1914 were broken by tbe total
valuation of building permits nt
loading cities for March, nnd the ng
gregato of $262 2S3.254 for 190 cit

to be tho largest for nit time. The
number of permits Issued last month
In thoso cities was 62.444.
As compared with March 1921,
when the pormlta numbered 53,3 IS
nnd tb valuation amounted lo $131,

amounted to $19,333,900, an In
