For several weeks She factory has been running on half time in preo- licolly an departments although re. talnlne Che fnn number Of employees. A faliing oll in the demand for type writers. duo to general businecs de- pression. was the cause oi tho redue- ed working hours.
 Matthew S. Eylar. general sales man aeer or the company said yesterday that he was strongly of the opinion that Che restoration of the full-time schedule. isx days 8 week. win be per mancnt, judging by tho way orders are coming in-
 Business commenced to pick up in December7 he explained. land since New Years there has been 9 decided Increase in the volume Of orders re- ceived by Che company The return Co fuH time is not occasioned by an especially large gale Of machines, eith' CT In this country or abroad but to what appears to be 9 revival in the ordinary course Of trade"
 Make i,o00 MaehInes Week
 The normal output of tho plant in East Washington street is approxl- malely 1000 typewriters week The shipments to England, Russia, aud oth- CT European countries except Germany and Austria-Hungary, arc being made despite the war although some trou- bio has becn experienced through the seizure of vessels supposed to be car rying contraband goodo In addition to typewriters
 Improvement in business conditions throughout tho United States Is indl' eated by the larger demand for type writers which the '. c. Smith 6 Bros. Company has been called upon to meet at the beginning of 1915, according to Nir Eyiar's view.
 Twenty-Five years' experience has taught me that the typewriter trade is @ good barometer or general busi- ness" he continued. 'Whep there iB a tendency toward retrenchment the prospective purchase of one or more typewriters by corporation or indi- viduai is often one of the first things to be eliminated
 Likewise when times begin to im- prove. delayed orders for these ma chimes are placed. In fact. the type writer trade often sees the downward or upward trend before it Is under stood by the public at large.
 Reports which the sales depart ment has received recently from all parts Of the United States are encour- aging The South and the Pacific Coast. where the situation has been worse, report that the outlook Is bet ter
 Business is actually good In the great grain belt, which may be rough ly stated as extending from Cleveland, O., to Denver Col, and from Oklahoma City to the Canadian line, Tho vast agricultural Interests of that part Of the country are enjoying the prosper ity which comes from enormous crops for which high prices are being paid.
 Improvement ln East
 There seems to be improvement in the East, too, although it does not seem probable that conditions, as e whole. will bo at their best until tho tariff Is corrected.'

Commissioners Say in Letter to Union
Official that II Will Be In
creased Iuly

The pay OF carpenters employed by the
Commissioners state IN a letter TO John
B. colpoys. secretary OF the Central
Labor Union. The union recently COM
planned to the Commissioners that the
District was paying its carpenters 80
cents an hour. whereas contractors were
paying 50 cents The letter reads:
The Commissioners have carefully
considered whether II would be practica-
bic TO put the new schedule into effect
at once. but they ind that the several
appropriations authorized for repairs in
the District during the current fiscal year
are not even sufficient to accomplish all
needed repairs In the buildings"

CITIZENS ASK Lower
RATE ON TELEGRAMS
Some Sections of District Have to Pay
so Cents for Delivery of
Messages.

Cheaper rates for the delivery OF
kilograms to the outlying sections OF
the city probably will result from the
agitation started Wednesday night by
the Rhode Island Avenue Suburban
Citizens Association. which yesterday
forwarded letter to the Public
Utilities Commission asking that the
protest be considered.
1t was stated at the office of the COM
mission that other complaints on this
matter were received several months
ago bv residents of Chevy Chase. Owing
to a number of more important questions,
the professionals have not been grantee
hearing. 1t is probable that the
question will now be taken up.
The telegraph companies deliver
messages free within a radius of two
and one-half miles from their Offices
From that distance the city is divided
into zones of one-thisd of a mile. For
the first zone 10 cents per message is
charged. and for each additional zone
) cents is added.
This schedule brings the fee for the
delivery of a single message up to %
cents to the farther end of Chevy Chase.
Takcma Park and other suburbs near
the District lines. This fee is otter
greater than the cost of the message,
IL is pointed out.
