Aspects of Industry.

The federal census of manufacturers
just published reveals some significant
facts in regard to the industrial situa-
ton. The period covered was from 1900
TO 1914, which was not one of great in
dustrial growth. During 1914, in fact,
industrial activity was below normal,
and then business was disorganized gem
orally by the war.
In the period from 1904 to 1909 the
increase in production was 39.7 per cent,
but in the next five years was only lI.3
per cent. An increase in the corporate
form of ownership is indicated by an
actual decrease of SO per cent in the
number of proprietors and firms. There
is marked increase in the use of ma
chinery.
The theory has been commonly held
that poor business conditions during the
first six months of 1914 put an end to
expansion. The falling off was not r
matter, however, of decreased value of
production, which is Characteristic of pc
RODS of depression, but of a decrease
only in the number of establishments
