PRODUCTION TO JUMP.

Strikes now have ceased to be an
important factor in the problem of
boosting commodity production, Di-
rector Hugh Kerwin. of the Concili-
alton Bureau of the Labor Depart
ment, said yesterday.
Fewer workmen now are idle
from strikes than at any time since
the armistice." said Kerwin.
Strikes through the entire United
States now involve less than $4,000
workmen according to reports to
several government departmsnts.
This number Is slightly more, than
organized workers. 1t includes the
so-called outlaw railroad strikers,
longshoremen and men involved In
strikes now before the Labor De-
partment for settlement.
Sees Production Increase.
Production should increase at a
high rate IL this nearly peaceful
condition continues in Industrial re-
lations," said Kerwin.
This should have a large influence
in decreasing high prices. accord
ing to economic experts of the La
Dor Department. Increasing pro-
duction is one of the two main fac
tors in the general problem of re-
ducing prices, according to DIR.
Royal Meeker. price expert of the
Labor Department. The other big
factor, he said. is deflation of the
currency system.
Thirty strikes now are before the
La Dor Department for mediation.
They involve approximately 12.5OO
men. Kerwin said. But, he added.
the number reported each week is
rapidly decreasing.
Eleven Strikes During Week.
In the week ended Friday night.
the total number of new cases of
industrial disputes reported to the
department for settlement was
eleven" he said. During the pre-
vious week. thirteen new cases were
presented to the department.
Workers and employers now are
showing a far greater Willingness
to settle their differences by media

| century has given place to the popu.
lar Christmas hymn of later days
| Wherever the English language Is
spoken Charles Wesley's hymn, "Hark,
the Herald Angels Sing" finds a place
In the sanctuary. 1t Is also translated
into the languages of India, China and
Japan. Its author was the brother of
the founder of Methodism. He was a
true poet and perfect hymn writer.
His masterpiece is the beautiful hymn
Jesus, Lover Of My Soul" which was
sung by the Princess Alice at the
deathbed of the prince consort of
England, the lamented husband of
Queen Victoria.
Come sall We faithful" is the
"Adeste Fideles" of the Latin. and
came originally from the pen of
Aurelius Clemens Prudentius. a native
Of Spain. who flurished about the
latter half of the fourth century.
There is another hymn by the same
Latin author which begins with "Of
the Fathers love begotten."
We have two well-born Christmas
carols by American writer's. 20 Little
Town of Bethlehem" was written by
the popular Boston divine, Phillips
Brooks. "Shout the Glad TidIngs. Elk.

hospital, and other charities In New

is by the great hymn writer James
Montgomery. who for thirty years
edited a Sheffield newspaper in Eng

was written by Bishop Christopher
Wordsworth. nephew of the great
English poet and father of the present
Bishop of Salisbury. DR.. Wordsworth

He died when In prison for debt.
The popular hymn Christians
Awake, Salute the Happy Morn" was
written by John Byron, a Lancashire
man. who was esteemed good scholar
and poet In his day. He was born In
Manchester In 1891.
The two eminent sweet singers OF
the church. John Keble and Reginald
Heber. bishop of Calcutta, have writ
ten Christmas hymns, but they lack
those elements of popular song which
constitute the Christmas carol. Keble
sweetly sings:
Like circles widening round
Upon a clear blue river.
Orb after orb the wondrous sound
Is echoed on forever.
Glory to God on high. on earth be
peace.

EN- this carol dancing is part OF
EW the rhythmic movement OF
kksk9 the Oberammergau play, as
l15@TS75, well as of the dances of the
ISFTS3 Shakers of Lebanon In New
F8T York state.
The first Christmas carol
in history is the GLORIA In Excelsis'
found In the Roman mass, and in the
Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. II
is ascribed to Telesphorus, bishop OF
Rome, about the year A. D. 139, and
Is common In both the eastern and
western churches.
An old English carol begins with the
notable words:
Behold a simple, tender babe
In freezing winter night.
In homely manger trembling lies,
Alas. piteous sight
The higher critics" have wondered
how the shepherds could watch their
fiocks by night, even in winter In
Judea, but this presented no difficulty
to Robert Southwell. the author of this
quaint carol, who as Jesuit was i'm.
prisoDed in the Tower of London, and
after enduring the tortures of the rack,
was executed in 1884
A popular carol among the Germans
is one written by Martin Luther for
his little son Hans. II begins:
From the highest heaven | come to tell
The gladdest news which e'er befell
A very sad story is told in connec-
ton with this carol. In order to give
It realistic effect In a certain Luther
an church ii used TO be sung by boy
let down. from the roof of the church
dressed as an angel. But one day the
rope broke. and the boy was killed.
This put an end to very beautiful but
dangerous Christmas custom.
At a time when the liturgIcal and
biblical plays were popular the
Christmas carol was an important
feature. In Italy In the time of st.

carol which begins 81 sing the Birth

appeared a very popular carol which
is sung 10 "Merrie England" even TO

is "God rest you. merrie gentlemen. :"

Origin of Yuletide

Yule was the name of the ancient
Scandinavian festival held at the time
of the winter solstice. The word is of
uncertain origin says The Housekeep-

many nations of old marked the turn

the Hindus, the Perslans, the Greeks
and the Romans all had feaSts at this
season. but especially the Northern
nations-the Teutons. the Scandinav-

much eating and drinking and noisy
jollity. One of the ceremonies was the
