(UNITED PBES3 ASSOCIATION—** S! ICTBIC TELEGBAtH—COPTKIOHTI

(Received March 27th, 9.10 p.m.) WASHINGTON", March 27.

The American Federation of Labour in an estimate based on its trade union returns reported the first decrease in unemployment since last August. The unions of 24 cities reported that 21 per cent, of their members were without work, as compared with 22 per cent, in February.

Mr William Green, president of the Federation, stated: While these figures show that the increase of unemployment has been checked for the country as a whole, the improvement is not yet general. Only ten of the cities which reported showed a decrease in unemployment; in ten unemployment is still increasing in March, while in four there was no change. The greatest improvement is in the seafaring trades, while unemployment of musicians has increased.
