the war, because of scarcity of com modities and high prices or because of patriotic self-denial, they did not buy in advance of need, as is custo- mary in an era of rising prices. Con- sumers' goods are in great demand and retail trade is now moving in great volume.
 7. If the production capacity of in dustry should be greatly increased, lower prices would not necenssarily follow. If there is strong enough demand for commodities, prices need not fall, no matter in how large vol ume commodities are produced. There is every reason for expecting such strong demand. The world is now suffering from great shortage of durable goods-buildings, trans portation facilities, and industrial equipment. Furthermore people, both in the United States and Europe, have a stronger desire for consumers goods than ever before. This is true partly because of the scarcity of certain goods during the war period, and part ly because of the new experiences through which tens of millions have passed, which have awakened in them desires for goods and services they never enjoyed before. Along with greater production of goods there is likely to go further extensions of credits rather than contraction. Neither the credit system of the Uni ted States nor that of the world has reached the limits of its power of ex- pansion.
 s. Business men of the United States need not hesitate to plan for an immediate period of business pros perity. No period of depression and no collapse of values need to be fear ed. The man who goes full speed ahead will gain an advantage over his procrastinating competitor which will far outweigh any possible slight de cline in costs of production.

8. The rise in prices during the war was not merely the result of a great demand for goods and of a scarcity of certain goods. It was largely brought about by means of in flation of the currency by the govern ments at war and by the neutrals, either by the direct issue of paper money or by the issue of bonds. AL though war orders are now largely a thing of the past, the extension of credits still exists as continuing cause of high prices. There is little to indicate an early contraction of credits.
 4. World production in general during the war, contrary to a widely held view, was not abnormally large. This is shown by statistics of world production of leading basic materials of industry such as coal, petroleum, iron ore, and of cotton, sugar, wool, wheat and ther agricultural products. Consequently the abnormal consump- tion of goods for war purposes has de- pleted the stocks of commodities of the world.
 5. Armies of unemployed, in the United States at least, have not ma terialized, and an actual labor short age is in prospect. Wages are not likely to be lowered.
 6. Buyers since the ar1nistice, al though showing a desire to wait for lower prices, have been compelled to bl1v to meet their daily needs During

Summary of Gov. Report on
 The Economies of Industry

The following summary of forthcoming report entitled "Economics of the Construction Industry" has been prepared by the Division of Public Works and Con- structon Development, Information and Education Service, Department of Labor, Franklin T. Miller Director.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-07-05

In January, 1919, the Division of Public Works and Construction Dev- elopment was organized as a branch of the Information and Education Ser vice of the Department of Labor. Its purpose was to be the stimulation of the interest of the Nation in public and private construction with view to the creation of buffer employment for labor during the period of trans ition of manufacturing industries from war to peac peroduction. It was charged with the securing of data for the use of the construction industry, but its activities were also to com prehend a study of the economic con ditions affecting industry as whole.
 In conformity with its purpose it has given wide publicity to the mater ial which it has gathered on prices and price tendencies in the construc- tion industry, and to such other in formation as it believed was of inn mediate value for the construction in- dustry and for general industry. Its findings are contained in Economies of the Construction Industry" now in press. In the following pages a brief summary of these findings is present. ed, which is hoped will provide con- viction for those who, on the thres- hold of an era of business prosperity, still hesitate. On the basis of it's study it has come to the conclusion that construction in 1919 can be jus tified on financial grounds. It re- joices to find such a widespread ac- ceptance of its views as is evidenced by the remarkable resumption of con- struction activity of the last three months. It looks to public officials and private and speculative builders everywhere to maintain or increase the present activity, for it feels that by so doing they will not only be se- curing a reasonable return on their investments, but that they will also be relieving the unprecedented short age in housing, supplying needed em- ployment, and allaying much of the industrial unrest incident to a period of readjustment.
 The New Commodity Price Level.
 1. Most people believed that the high level of prices reached during the war was caused merely by the extra ordinary demand for commodities which exceeded the supply. With the end of the war and with war demand thing of the past, they quite natur- ally expected sharp drop in prices and a price level approximating in short time the prewar price level.
 2. It was also commonly believed that the industrial capacity of the world had been greatly expanded un- der the stimulation of war orders, and that this expansion would bring sharp competition between rival concerns in time of peace. Furthermore, it was thought that there would be after the war great armies of unemployed workmen, who would be compelled by necessity to accept work at low wages; that there would be sharp competition among the leading na- tions in international trade; and that buyers generally, looking forward to- ward an era of lower prices, would postpone buying. In the light of these considerations it was but natural for people to expect a great fall in prices, and even to fear an industrial panic.
 However, the expected fall in prices has not occurred, and it is not likely to occur for the following reasons:

sponsible for the coordination, control
and efficiency Of all the organized ac-
tivities for Uncle Sam Of all the Cath
Ollie workers in this land and overseas
from beginning to end Of our part in
the world war. And all the time he
was planning to turn his welfare army
into fighting forces for true American
ization and real reconstruction at the
return Of peace. incidentally, 1t may
be added that he was also administer

When he reports to the conference
Of the hierarchy Of his church, that
has been called this month in Wash

future, Of the National Catholic War
Council, Bishop Muldoon will relate a
striking chapter in the history Of
American war work and outline a fu-
ture prospect of continuing to aid the
government through the trying times
ahead. This is what he has to say
about the work Of his organization:
1.-THE National Catholic War Council
represents the patriotic effort Of q
great church. We Catholics believe
with all the intensity Of our nature
that nowhere in the wide world has
the church such freedom and opportu-
nifty as under the Stars and Stripes,
and consequently we feel that we can
not do too much to express our graft
tude and patriotism. We felt it was
not enough that the sons and daugh-
tiers should individually serve and suf-
fer that our flag might be kept on high.
Our church wishes to 60 further and
to put into the field an organization
ready to give assistance at all times to
our government"
