LABOR UNREST BENEFITS

W. B. MARCUM, Clerk

Swansea, Wales, Nov. 29.-Labor
unrest in America is said here t.
have benefited Welsh manufacturers
A wave of prosperity is sweeping oy-
er Swansea and it's surroundings
which residents declare is reminis-
cent of "the good old days"-pre-war
days when Swansea thrived.
The factories in the vicinity can
not keep pace with the orders flood
ing i'm. IIroI steel and tinplate
works are glutted with orders and
though prices have been forced up
ward through competitive bidding by
eager buyers this is not acting as a
deterrent. %
The Swansea Labor Exchange re-
ports there are far fewer persons un-
employed now than at any time since
the armistice, and the numbers are
decreasing weekly. Wages on all
hands are such as to attract labor
unskilled workers receive $40 to $25
weekly which is materially higher
than is paid in other localities in
England.

We were talking with a man from
California the other day and inciden-
tally the price of groves was men
toned. He remarked that he thought
the prices around Winter Haven were
very reasonable. Why" said he, you
have better groves than can be found
in California. You can raise fruit
much cheaper and yet your groves
are selling from third to a half
cheaper than those of California F."
His prediction was that before many
monhs the price of good groves in
the Lake Region would enhance one
third or one-half. It's the story they
all tell. We have the better groves,
can produce more and better fruit.
and produce it cheaper than can the
Pacific grower We are nearer to the
do not have to irrigate and
yet the California grove is outselling.
There are two reasons and possibly
more why this is a fact. First the
California people have the marketing
down to a finer point. and
second in California the price Of the
grove is based more on the amount of
interest the returns will hiring in T,
other words the California man is
satisfied with six and eight per cent
IN his investment while many of our
growers are making 25 ard 30 per
cent and in some cases even more.

RISE In PRICE OF SILVER
(By Associated Press.)

London, Nov. 29.-The rise in the
price of silver is being watched with
much. anxiety here. Already the price
per ounce is alfost equivalent to the
lace value of the coins themselves.
Il that point is passed it would pay
to melt the coins down and sell the
metal.
This would be a state of affairs
unprecedented in English history.
France has already encountered this
grave difficulty, the silver in a franc
being worth more than franc.
