MANUFACTURE
Present Conditions Good,
Despite Restraint Which
Labor Unrest and Ex-
port Situation Lay Upon
All Industry.

Manufacturing conditions, taken
generally are good. Strikes have
caused much loss of time. and with
shortened hours have curtailed pro-
ductiOn. Deliveries have been de-
layed. Labor unrest casts a heavy
shadow. But order books are well
filled. and manufacturers welcome
the respite in new buying afforded
by price agitation. Capacity pro-
duction Of the automobile and tex
tile industries, for instance is taken
far ahead. A labor shortage threat
ems in some industries. but has not
become acute. The great emphasis
laid upon increased production as
the chief remedy for present ills
should have immediate results.
Prices Hold Up.
Prices of manufactured goods
hold tenaciously. Wages. the main
sustaining factor, are still going up
although manufacturers show an in
creased disposition to stand firmly
against further increases Declining
commodity prices however. neces-
sary invariably produce a decreas-
in margin of profit and lead TO dis
trust Of f@ture, causing general bust
ness 10 hesitate and slacken. Rapid
de1ation has not yet begun and
business retains its confidence. A
fair amount Of Industrial building is
under way, and many manufaCtur-
ers are planning TO extend their
plants. The supply of money for
new enterprises should be adequate.
Security offerings fell of during
August as is customary. but will I'M
doubtedly increase as the fall season
progresses.
Threatens Readjustment.
The export situation. however.
threatens abrupt readiustment and
curtailment in some lines with at
tending unemployment and dislOca
ton 10 business. While America
cannot maintain her exports at war
levels. the decline should be made
gradual tapering off process. The
present problem is twofold: TO as
sure a surplus in all lines OF need.
50 that exports will not raise domes-
tic prices and through the extension
Of credit TO assure a market for this
surplus.

TROLLEY CONDUCTOR
 IS HEIR TO S7,0O0
"Jim" Wrcnn Receives Notice That
 Forgotten Uncle in Ireland Left
 Him His Estate.

To have some one leave them few thousand is the aflhition of every one and to James Wrenn, a motorman on the trolley lines for 15 years, Dame Fortune has finally smiled. "Jim" has been left a $7,000 estate in Ireland by an uncle whom Jim is trying hard to remember The lawyers of the es- tate have advised him that he is the only heir to the property and request that he come over and get it. "Jim s'' friends got him a three months leave of absence, for he has no intention of throwing up his job, even if he is a lord or baron. The leave was obtain ed but Jim" found out from Mayor Quigley that he must get a passport before he can go, and besides that, he must stop in Liverpool to have his credentials examined which will mean that he will probably be held in Liver pool for a month at least before he would see the 'fauld" country.
 Jim takes the legacy as a matter of course and will continue to hold his run on the Berlin line except for the period when he intends to go across. He does not hanker to go across and live the rest of his life on the estate, but probably will sell it and bring the change" to the U. S. A. and buy one of New Britain's finest.
