UNEMPLOYMENT,
,-Ottawa Dec; ,Z8.—More than a
month ago, when
the first

when

took to reverse the order, to curb ex-
pansion in•bod times g s audio proceed
with every possible development work
as business ebbed, in order to take up
the "slack" in employanent.
That his effortsraved' more P e ' than

the fact that Federal, state and muni-
cipal governments, public Utilities and
