LABOR EFFICIENCY
SHOWS INCREASE
Transportation Lack Hampers
Industry. Federal Reserve
Board Finds.

Marked increases In labor efficiency
in leading Industrial centersN were
commented upon as a noteworthy
development" in the business situa-
ton. made in reports today TO the
Federal Reserve Board from reserve
bank asents.
A surplus OF labor. due mainly TO
curtaiiment OF operations in some
sections, notably New England. was
noted in certain industries, including
textiles, boots, and shoes. -Snemploy-
ment is larger than usual. but IL has
not'assumed discouraging proportions.
Resumption OF activity among plants
now idle In early fall Is expected.
4 Significant among the many reports
were those from New England stat
ing that reduced activity by the mills,
while due largely to cancellations OF
orders for goods, is partly attributed
In many centers to desire of manu-
ifacturers to>restore their plants 10 a
peace time basis. Many shutdowns.
or cases of partial suspension, IL Is
said, have been for the purpose OF re-
storing the mechanical equipment OF
plants to normal, preparatory to fall
and winter operation.
The board expects that with the
passing of a few weeks the reports
will show a very small amount OF un-
employment. Mills and factories will
have completed their inventories and
finished repair projects and open the
way for return to work of ma
chinists. mechanics, clerks. and fac
tory hands now on an enforced vaca-
ton.
Lack of adequate transportation
still Is seen by the board as a ham,
pering factor for many industries, but
the traffic situation is expected to i'm
prove within another sixty-day period.
Some evidences of better conditions
already are observed.

SOVIET MOVEMENT
FOR PEACE GROWING
BY CARL II. Won WEIGAND.
Universal Service.


BERLIN. Aug. 3O.-Moscow is using
the vast potentalities of the Russian
realm in half-heartening manner
that includes a war against Great
Britain in Asia to emphasize the pres
sure on the peace movement, but the
sentiment in the Soviet government
for peace is slowly gaining the as
cendancy over the war party.
That is the impression of Moscow,
Russia, and the present world situa-
tion as 1t obtains here today from
facts gathered from all sources.
1--WE do not pretend to be pacific
ists' was the expression of Wigdor
Kopp, the Moscow representative,
here today, for pacifism and boil
shevism are not reconcilable. But
we can readily admit that for eco-
nomic reasons we need Russian
Polish peace"
He admitted that the economic con-
ditions in Russia are mot especially
good" and gave this as a reason
why the Soviet government would
turn to the task of building Russia
up on the inside and would not trouble
to mix in the political affairs of her
Western neighbors."
1t is erroneous, he indicated, to be-
lieve that bolsnevism is committed to
the rapid bringing about of revolu-
tions in all countries, for II think
we are in a position quietly to await
developments"
He said that the world would soon
learn more of Russia through Rosta,
the Soviet official news agency, and
the German Unofficial Wolf bureau.
He said that up to the present time,
Russia could not admit newspaper
men freely, because frequently gov
ernment spies Of other nations would
try TO slip in through journalistic
connections.

GASOLINE STOCK IS
Low, REPORT SAYS
Increased Consumption Steadily
Reduces Reserve Supply De-
spite Production Gains.

The gasoline shock OF the country
is running low. actording to statistics
on the production and stocks OF pc
troleum products for the month or
June, issued today by the Bureau OF
Mines
Although gasoline continued a high
record OF production during June ana
the six months production Is approxi-
mstely IS per cent larger than that
of the nrst six months OF 1919, do
mestic consumption during the nrst
half OF 1920 is % per cent greater
than during the same period In 1919.
The total consumption OF gasoline ap-
proximately is 81 per cent more.
According. to the bureaus figures,
gasoline stocks represent the reserve
supply and the difference between
stocks at the beginning and end or
each month, plus the production for
the month represents the apparent
consumption. AS consumption Is low
er in the winter months, stocks
usually build up from October to
June of the following year and from
June to October they decline as. dur
ing this period consumption exceeds
productions.
Although stocks reached a higher
total in 1920 the seasonal decline be-
gan in May or two months earlier
than In 1919. At the end OF June,
stocks were s9,s41 900 gallons or is
per cent less than at the same period
in 1919. A continuation OF this rate
Of consumption would bring the
stocks to less than a months produc-
tion at the end OF July, a condition
similar to that existing in the year
1918.
The first half of 1920 shows an in
crease in the production of kerosene,
with a decrease in the total consump-
ton. Gas and fuel oils show an in
crease In production and a decrease
in stocks on June 80. compared with
the same period for 1919
