IV I I I srs IMPROVEMENT IN LABOR EARLY IN MONTH IS SHOWN Conditions Variable; Cool Weather Spurs Coal Demand ly Astotiatrd Press.

Labor conditions in Pennsylvania for the first two weeks in September were variable, but with a general tendency toward improvement in the skilled crafts, reports of State employment offices to the Department of Labor and Industry today disclosed Approach of cool weather has spurred the demand for coal, with a general improvement noted in the anthracite region. Demands for miners and mine employes continued strong in the Johnstown bituminous district, while the Pittsburgh district reported production of "considerable coal." A degree of optimism was noted in the metals and metal products industries, although few new workmen were being taken on. The steel mills in the Pittsburgh district have been operating around a 70 per cent, basis. Rush Highways The supply of unskilled labor continued to exceed the demand and the majority of placements for this class of help were temporary. The most steady demand for unskilled help came from road contractors who are rushing their work to completion before unfavorable weather sets in.

Building activities continued brisk, although few large jobs have been started. Skilled mechanics generally were employed. There apparently had been little let up in construction of dwellings. Applicants for professional and technical work were numerous with few placements. Some demand for institutional workers was noted, while in the hotel and restaurant lines a surplus of workers was evident due to the influx "from the summer resorts, most of which closed on Labor Day.

Railroad and trolley companies were taking on but few men but the Harrisburg office said that it was believed the Pennsylvania lines would take on some of their fur loughed employes in the near future to take care of increased freight movements.

The Examiner says a large number of manuscripts, believed to be official records of the city of San Francisco, which have been mising for more than a half century, have been found in Lima, Peru. The find was made known here by Senorita Noeml Benedetti, a young woman from Peru now teaching in a convent in San Francisco. According to her story, the newspaper says, the records were about to be dumped Into a river as junk, when they were recognized by a passerby as possibly being of historical value. The passerby bought the wagonload of papers for $40. The papers are believed to be those which were carried away by Harry Meiggs, San Francisco alderman, who, in 1854, absconded with $250,000 obtained by forging warrants.

Meiggs went to Peru, where he built the Central Transandino Railroad over the Andes Mountains ann accumulated a fortune of more than $100,000,000. He made restitution for the money he took away, but never returned to this country. YPE WRITERS S0t0 RENTEP BUILMycHAHIfl ILiLiOTSON aoa LOCUST OT.
