bright Visiting business men from Chi
cago and other centers In the Middle
West and farther East believe that with
who have been on strike will again re-
turn to labor and with the Improvement
OF business in these sections an enlarged
market and Increased demand for Pa
citic coast products will be created.

Barry is on the Coast partly for pleas
ure. but during his stay viii put in much
OF his time with lumbermen.
THE end of the Middle West labor
troubles is in sight" he said nj the Sc
attic last night 1.-The first step in this

Trades Council. of the bricklayers. With
in ten days or two weeks at most, the
great majority of the laborng men OF
Chicago will have returned to work
While 1t is already late In the season

In Chicago, but in st. Louis and oth~
large markets where trade has been re-

Der and shingles, the product OF this
section. and there is no good reason to
think otherwise than that there will be
a good market for these goods about the

There are very light stocks of both
lumber and shingles now on hand in the
Middle West, and the demand will begin
to come in Just soon as the prospec-
tive conditions become assured"
