mining. glass and pottery making,
gun and ammunition outputs, Army

of other lines catering to war needs
there has been great recent expan-
sion, all the more notable because
midsummer is never associated with
fullest activities in factory work. The
inexorabIe logic of events-high
wages. patriotic impulse, and last, but
not least. the work k-or-hght" legis-

the less effectively. to cause great re-
adjustments of conditions of employ
