/, country's finances, despite large loans
made TO foreign powers, arc stronger
than ever before. There is every rea-
son TO believe the prosperity that is
now being enjoyed win continue for
some time. The main factor likely 10
disturb confidence as TO what the fu-
lure viii bring to the profession OF
architecture and 10 the building in
dustry is to be found in what is called
the unrest in the labor situation.
To this must be added the serious
situation that Is developing through
the emigration Of thousands Of for
eigners, who while on our shores, have
constituted that part OF unskilled labor
that has been such a factor in con-
struction. They are not alone creating
severe labor shortage but are taking
with them hundreds of millions Of dol
lars which they have boarded with the
idea OF spending their remaining days
in ease In the land of their birth. Just
recently three steamships sailing IN
one day from the port of New York
for southern European ports took as
passengers $500 aliens. II was estimated
by Government officials that each alien
represents an average Of $500 saved
while working in this country and that
the great majority will never return
to the United States. Ten years ago
an average bank roll OF this amount
would have been sufficient to maintain
a peasant family for the rest OF their
lives. But as the increased living
abroad makes this impossible today, il
may be that some will return within
five years or so. Many, however, will
purchase property in their home lands
and settle there.
Practically none OF the returning
foreigners saw service in the army or
navy. With the exception Of a COM
parative few they made their money
in American shlpyards and munition
plants The high wages Of the war
years have made the desired fortunes
quick Of attainment and these men are
years before they would
have gone had times been normal. A
are from Italy, Greece, Por-
tugal, Czecho-Slovakia and the Balkan
states.
But what makes the labor situation
so serious Is the fact that the exodus
n unskilled labor is not being relieved
by immigration to this country OF men !
Who can take the places OF those leav-
ng This class, considerably cut down |
by the war, is remaining in Europe |
md take advantage OF increased wages /
here in reconstruction work.
There has also arisen a further prob

hat has developed from the increasing
demands Of labor for recognition in the
OF living conditions. Ulti-
nately these demands are sure 10 work

living, and for truer Americanism. But
.t present the immediate effect Of the
demands upon construction initiates

there is no doubt that a greater pur-

OPERATORS IN 10
mot At CONFERENCE
Strike in District Sympathy
Move They Declare, Hence
Trip Unnecessary.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE
operators OF the TenneSsee-Keutucky
coal fields have decided it will be un-
necessary for them to send representa-
tlVes to the miners operators confer
ence called for Friday by Secretary of,
Labor Wilson. The scale committee Of
the union miners Of district No. 10 ac-
cepted the invitation and left today for
the capital. The decision Of the Ap-
palachian operators was given out for
publication:
mo demands have been made on the
operators Of this field at any time. The
strike in this field was a sympathetic
strike; 1t has been called off, and the
operators are ready to resume work.
Therefore, there is no occasion for the
operators In this field to attend the
Washington conference"
Conflicting claims were made late
Thursday as to the number Of miners
who had returned to work following the
cancellation Of the strike order in Dis
trtct No. l9, involving 10, 900 men em-
ployed in 200 mines, Union officials
stated that from so to 20 per cent Of
the miners were at work and that the
remainder would be on the job by Mon
day, many being in isolated districts
n not having received the order re-
scinding the strike.
On the other hand the operators re-
ported about 20 per cent of the men at
WORK producing from ~ 10 20 per cent
Of the normal tonnage. Hope was ex-
pressed, however, that larger numbers
of the men would be back on the job
Friday and that something approx
mating normal production would be had
by Monday. The men were reported TO
be working in spots" All except one
small mine on the Tennessee Central
railroad, west of Hartman, were re-
ported in operation, but not with a full
force. A number of the small mines on
the @. & c., north Of Oakdale were
running, but with abbreviated crews.
There is a spirit Of uneasiness over
the situation and one operator remark
ed that 1t had resolved itself into q
nasty mess and fears are openly *
pressed that the strike is not over as
far as this region is concerned.
Union leaders, however, are hope1ui
and expressed the belief that even II
the operators do not attend the Wash
ington conference that they will be able
to make a settlement.
