Federal Reserve Bank. PHILADELPHIA
For long time past the failure of the
railroads to give adequate service has
hindered the free shipment of fuel, raw
material and goods. The situation has
been exceedingly aggravated BY the re
cent strike Of railway employees. In
dustrial plants generally have been op :
Grating close to capacity. but under the
most trying circumstances due to these
Transportation difficulties. IL is hoped
that with the railroads restored to nor
NAL conditions these disturbances to
trade and industry will disappear.
Prices still show an advancing ten =
dency in iron and steel and allied lines,
but the advance has largely stopped in
| the leather and some textile lines. and
decreases appear in few products.
The labor situation shows no distinct
change, and operatives in the main still
fail to recognize the need for larger pro :
duction. However, there are fewer re
ports of demands for increased wages,
and in some few cases workmen are be =
ginning to recognize that decreased out
put rebounds to their ultimate disad-
vantage through higher prices.
The majority of our correspondents
state that collections are fairly salts
factory. though It is noted that. due to
the amount of money tied UP in mer
chandise owing to delays in shipment,
and further to the tight. rein which
banks are holding on credits, there has
been less discounting Of bills and some
tendency to allow them to run to ma :
turity.
