M. Adams, engineer in charge of the Galveaton district.

It -was pointed out when foreign vessels arrive there are no facilities to handle them. Galveston and New- Orleans am well supplied with both oil and coal facilities, but Port Arthur has only oil bunkering accommodations. There is a small coal dock.

According: to lur. tlons as a whole have been coming In good and tho office has been kept busy ruch ilny. Unemployment among the laboring- and trade classes of organized labor in Galveston, although slightly abnormal at present, due to the season of the year and a decrease in the shipping of the' port, is neither of alarming proportions nor has it brought to the attention of the Galveston Labor Council, according to M.

E. Shay, president. "Little, work in any trade is furnished locally by other industries or businesses than those furnished by companies either indirectly or directly connected with shipping. Skilled labor of all kinds is employed along the wharves of Galveston and on board the ships themselves. "Such conditions of unemployment as now exist are really nothing- unusual for this season of the year, when large numbers men who come down bere from the North for the benefit of the milder weather, drift into this city In search of work," Mr.

Shay continued. Judge Robert G. Street of the tenth district court and president of the United Charities of Galveston, stated yesterday that government" statistics recently compiled on conditions of unemployment existing in various cities of the country accredited Galveaton with only 1,500 unemployed, which he declared to be better than any other city of Calveston's size in Texas. M. J.

Gniiagan, financial sccrctary of Southern' Pacific Transport -Workers and a member of the Galveston Labor Council, stated that one of the causes for pre'sent unemployment conditions in Galveston. as well as the advent of "snowbirds" Into the city from the North. Y-aa tn influx of oil workers seeking employment wherever they can-find it. since oil field activities have been cut down to a large extent. He does not deem existing conditions of unemployment anything that might be termed.critical.

Investigations on the part of Mrs. Mary E. Wood, secretary of the United Charities of Galveston, have disclosed the fact, she says, that there are not. at present many jobs open in this city; j-hr: having occasion to look into the matter by reason of people coming to her in search of employment. The organization maintains an employment bureau as well a3 facilities for doing immediate relief and charity work.

Mrs. Wood stated yesterday th-t the employment bureau oporuted bv the M. C. A. that it has a long waiting list for jobs of any na' ture that are open.

She also stated ihat every effort was being made to take care of numbers of Mexican families who had recently applied to her for assistance pending: the finding of employment to take care of them. "Tho Mexican consul' In Galveston la nlso sending who can prove their identity as citizens of'the Mexican government back to their native land as rapidly na he can obtain authority." ssid Mrs. "Wood.
