PRESIDENT SETS
ARMIST|CE DAY
Wilson Orders the Flag at Half
Mast on Sunday, Mo-
vember ID.
TO HONOR HEROIC YANK DEAD
Asks Observance as Token of Nations
Participation in Memorial Ssrv.
ices-selection Of Formal Day
Must BE Through Legis-
lation

Washington, oct. 9.-President Will
son directed that on Sunday, Novem-
Der IA. the American flag be displayed
at half-mast on all public buildings
and naval ana military posts "as
token of the nations participation in
the memorial services held for the he
role American soldiers, sailors, ma
rines and others who gave their lives
to their country in the World war;"
In connection with the order, the
President authorized this statement:
There has been transmitted to me
a suggestion that | name Sunday, No
vember IA, as Armistice Sunday, in or
der that the religious services held
throughout the country on that day
may be given an especial note of re-
membrance for the heroic services and
sacrifices of those who died for Amer
lea in the World war.
"The selection Of a formal day
which shall annually be set aside to
commemorate our participation in the
World war will some day day doubt
less be effected through legislation,
and already Memorial day, rich in he
role memories, has acquired additional
significance as being appropriate also
to the commemoratiOn of the heroes
of the World war. am, however, so
heartily in favor of the suggestion
that has been made that / take this
occasion to express publicly my APP
proval of the idea.
November IA, 1918, will always be
memorable as the beginning of the end
of the most terrible and destructive
of all wars. Our beloved country took
a noble part in Fastening the arrival
of the day hailed by the whole world
as the dawn of peace; but close upon
the day Of victory followed realiza-
ton of loss, and the anniversary will
bring with it solemn thoughts to the
minds Of every American, memories of
brave men who fell, sympathy for
their living relatives and those relig-
ious reflections in which nations, like
individuals, must seek hope and con-
ISOLATION.
THAT Sunday, November IA. this
year being the Sunday Immediately
following the anniversary, should be
observed in all our churches by suit
able memorial services for the heroic
American soldiers, sailors and marines
who gave their lives to their country
in the World war, seems to be emf
nently fitting and proper, and | COM
mGBd theneuggestion to those who con-
duct such service"

ALIENS ARRIVING

Movement of Laborers in Last
Three Years Is Outward.
REDS ARE COMING INTO U. S.
Literacy Test Keeps Out Common la
borer-skilIed Workers and Pro-
fessional Ranks Are Increased
by the Migratory Tide.

Washington, Oct. 11.-American in
pational tables of the 1920 immigra-
ton. Skilled labor and the profess
sional ranks were increased by the
migratory tide. but common, unskille0
labor, the scarcity of which has given
industry one of its hardest pinches
and has helped send up the cost of
living, was drained of 100000 work
erS.
In the fiscal year ended last June
80, more craftsmen entered America
than departed. The same was true OF
doctors, editors, ministers, engineers,
teachers, actors and other profess
sional occupations. But in front of
unskilled labor, which is at the bot
tom of employment for all other
groups, was hung a large minus sign.
This is how it ranks

Laborers 81, 732 1880
Shortage of Common Labor.
A shortage of at least 100000 in
common labor, which is a basic fac
tor in industry, is estimated by care-
full observers as the result of suspend
ed immigration alone during the war
years. On top of this the movement
of common labor for the last three
years has been outward. In 1918, A.
$50 were admitted and 1850 depart
ed. In 1919, 1921 came in and "a
IA went out. Adding the figures for
the year finished June 30, 114,642
alien laborers arrived in three years
and 292.524 went back, a loss to the
unskilled labor market of 17S,0OO.
This is exclusive of farm labor,
which registered an increase due to
the Importation of hands from Mexico
for employment in the border states.
In the present tide, which has been
swirling at Ellis island since May,
larger percentage of unskilled labor is
found among the arriving male aliens.

The statisticians Of the inter-facial

for nine recent weeks, estimate the

the common labor supply to point
where it will be fairly ample once the
industries begin hitting up a real pace
again.
Invention of labor-saving devices
will undoubtedly tighten some of the
slack, but employment experts think
that despite an immigration which is
growing at. a prodigious rate, the com
mon labor problems will become more

TRADE OUTLOOK GOOD
Reserve Board Reports on Bust
ness Conditions.
Says Steady Resumption of Manufac-
turing Reflects Demand for Goods
Freight Situation o. K.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Slashing of
prices has caused a revival of business
in the retail trade, and more hope
full outlook for the winter months, it
was shown in reports made to the fed
eral reserve board from various re-
serve bank centers.
Steady resumption of manufacturing
activity reflects a freer demand for
goods, and cancellations of orders are
not believed to be as heavy as ap-
peared few weeks ago.
A distinctly hopeful sign in the in
dustrial trend is the improvement gem
orally noted in the transportation sta
tistics. There is less criticism over
lack of cars to move goods. Improved
car supply has resulted in better mar
keting of goods. The quicker handling
of freight by the railroads has had a
stimulating effect in various fields of
Industry.
Growth of optimism among business
men is reported and business is said
to be approaching a greater degree of
stability. Reports further state that
in many leading districts, despite a
demand which is lower than year
ago, some factories are kept going,
not alone upon new orders, but upon
orders which have accumulated for
the past few months.
Officials state that the spirit of hest
fancy manifested over price reductions
is still in evidence, but not in such a
pronounced degree as when the price
cutting began Reports seem to indi-
cate there will be a continuation in
revival of buying.

FIFTY new SEATS
IN u. S. CONGRESS-
South and West Gain Most Ac-
cording to the New Cen
SuS.
ILLINOIS TO GET THREE MORE
Maine May Lose Seat, but New York,
ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan
Gain Four Each--Housee to
Consist of 4S5 Members.

Washington, Oct. determination
of the final census figures of the coun-
try, which place the total population
of the Continental United States at
los, 1868, 10S, indicates that the West
and the South proportionately will
gain more in political way than the
East or Middle West, through in
creased membership in the house of
representatives more votes in the
electoral college and in larger delega-
tons to the national political conven-
tons.
This result will obtain whatever ba-
sis Of apportionment is adopted by
congress next winter fixing the size of
the next house, which in turn is re-
flected in the electoral college and the
conventions of the big political par
ties.
AS a result of the increase of 49,
710,842 in population during the past
ten years, so new seats must be added
to the house to prevent any state
from losing any part of its present
representation. Should the present
membership of 435 be left unchanged
by increasing the basis of apportion-
ment there will have to be a transfer
of 10 seats now held by II states to
nine other states.
For the last half century the prece-
dent mas been to increase the size of
the house SO as to prevent loss of ex-
listing representation by any state. AS
a result the house has grown from
243 to 4S5 members, with only three
states-Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont-losing one member each in
the last so years.
If this precedent is followed this
year five additional representatives
seats must BE given to California, four
each to New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan; three to Illinois
and Texas; two to Massachusetts, New
Jersey and North Carolina, and one
each to Alabama, Arizona, Connect
cut, Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New
Mexico Oklahoma, Oregon, South Car
DINA, Tennessee, Washington, West
Virginia, Wisconsin,, Arkansas and
MINNESOTA.
While the present basis of appor-
tionment is 211,877 inhabitants, or its
major fraction, to the congressional
district, congress can increase the ba-
sis to 213,427 without causing any
loss. To advance beyond the latter
figure will mean that Maine would
lose one seat, with the net result of
As new seats in congress.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
house, as they regard the present
membership of 435 as too unwieldly.
The present individual populations
of the various states and the figures
for the previous census are as fol-
lows:
