This compared with 59,947,000 in August, but still was considered a large labor force for September. The labor force usually expands during the summer an dthen drops off in the fall. Commerce Secretary Charles Sawyer said the large number of employed persons "further bolsters accumulating evidence that general business conditions are improving." The labor department, meanwhile, reported that the number of new claims filed for jobless benefits skidded to the lowest level of the year during the week that ended Sept. 24. There were 229,000 initial claims for unemployment compensation and continuing claims filed by persons out of work more than one week.

Washington. (UP) Some of the nation's prime economic in-dictors gave new evidence today that business is picking up. The Department of Commerce reported that unemployment dropped last month from to 3,351,000. It was the second straight monthly decline. At the same time, the agriculture department said the general level of farm prices rose nearly 2 per cent from mid-August to mid-September, giving the farmer his first price boost in six months.

However, the price index still was about 14 per cent below a year ago. The commerce report said the return of students to fall classes accounted for much of the decrease in unemployment. But it said there also was "some evidence of a decline of jobless above school age."

Ore-Carrying Ships Halted Vessel com panies carrying iron ore began i curtailing operations today be- cause of the steel strike, Pittsburgh Steamship a subsidiary of U.

S. Steel said it would lay up most of its 61 ore-carriers, the largest fleet on the Great Lakes. There are 266 ore-carrying vessels in the lakes trade, each with a crew of 30 to 35 men. A few of the Pittsburgh line's vessels will remove stocks of ore now at hand at upper lake docks. As most of the lower lake docks are manned by members of the CIO United Steel Workers' union, the vessels may be tied up without being unloaded.

Sources in the industry said that stockpiles are in "good shape" to carry the steel indus-trv into next spring. Should the steel strike be of short duration, vessel operators say there still will be large tonnages of ore to bring down the lakes before ice closes the channels.
