generation and distribution of electric
power for the present haphazard and
piecemeal methods. The report indi-
Gates that in these latter respects the
conditions in England are no better
than in the United States, and fuel is
transported all over England in order
that it may be burned in innumerable
furnaces in every part of the king
dom. The electrical undertakings in
England are described as being about
the same as we have in the United
States, inasmuch as most of the plants
are small and relatively insufficient.
Reconstruction movements abroad
and at home recognize the fact that
the worlds industries have been built
on steam-power, and that adoption of
another form of energy which will be
more efficient will nevertheless in
volve scrapping costly plants. This
is handicap to what would otherwise
be recognized as an incentive to use
electricity as motive force. 4

AUTOMOBILES AND OTHER IN
DUSTRIES

The correspondent of The Evening
Leader was out at Detroit the other
day, and availed himself Of the op-
portunity to talk with some of the
automobile manufacturers "Most of
US have been working at our full ca
pacity on war ORDERS" they explained,
"and no attempt is being made to fill
the demand for new cars" The seri-
Gus phase of the situation, from the
manufacturers standpoint, is that his
agency force is being badly demoral-
lied. / suggested that after the war
the competition in automobiles would
be keen. The answer to this was that
thousands of prosperous citizens are
using their old cars, and even now
they are impatient to get rid of them,
so that they may have new models.
The emphasis placed upon this phase
Of the industrial situation at Detroit,
apparently indicates that it is almost
of equal importance to a part of our
citizens as is the need of new styles
in hats for spring and fall.
On top of this condition in the auto
mobile market is the added surplus
of orders that will come from the
brand new field of automobile pur-
chasers, who form a good-sized crop
every season. at will take US long
time to catch up" the automobile
manufacturers agree; and the indica-
tons are that while they are "catch-
ing up" their prices will be high, and
there will be considerable indifference
as to whether they sell you your auto
mobile or not. The important feature
of the situation that may be accepted
right now is that keen competition in
the automobile business will evidently
not exist for year or more after the
war, or until the manufacturers get
to the. point where they will be look
ing for orders instead of turning them
down.
If this condition applied only to au-
tomobiles the world would likely sur
vive-and merely swear about the de-
lay. But what is true in this one in
dustry must exist with reference to
an endless amount of other industrial
activities and necessities. The situa.
tion carries with it important rela,
tons to the processes of reconstruc-
ton which we are now facing.

FURTHER WAGE INCREASES.
(By J. E. Jones.)

The latest wage increase by the
shipbuilding labor adjustment board
amounts to a raise of from Is to 20
per cent, fixing the basic rates for the
principal skilled trades at 80 cents an
hour.
No one is going to accuse Washing
ton of not being good" to labor! Or
ganized labor has as broad standing
as diplomacy, and its arguments are
given far more heed than those that
arise in diplomacy. In nearly every
branch of industry, either directly OF
indirectly connected with the war
labor's demands have not only beer
backed, but enforced by Washington
The beginning was in the threatened
railroad strike in the fall of 1916
Since then the war labor board has
taken care of hundreds of cases in al
lines of industry-deciding in every
