BIG GROWTH
INFORE|GN TRADE
Secretary Alexander Says
Trade Balance Will Exceed
Four Billions
CONDITIONS IMURoVING

Washington, Dec. 3-CBy the
Associated Press. )-Secretary Alex
ander, OF the Department of Com
merce, sums up the commercial out
look for the year 1920 as follows:
''The closing year witnesses a
fabulous growth of American for
eign commerce, far beyond the
dreams of business men FIVE years
ago. Our trade balance for the year
1919 will be approximately four bill
lions of dollars. A great fleet of
sources of supply and increased
knowledge of our own resources are
some of the assets gained from our
war experience with which we are
fortified to meet new conditions. Be
fore the war we were engaged for
the most part in the development of
our own business, with little serious
thought of extension of our activi-
ties into world markets, and we
were too Indifferent as regards our
position of inferiority on the high
seas. Today we are awake as never
before. The pride of ante-bellum
days is revived and we look to see
our flag at the masthead of an
American merchant ship in every
important seaport of the world, car
rying American goods wherever mar
kets may be found.
Abnormal conditions, we hope,
are passing. The tremendous in
crease in the exports of the war pc
riod made up largely Of military
supplies, and the still greater ex-
ports of the months following the
war, in which foodstuffs figure large
ly, may not continue indefinitely.
sThese tremendous figures have
brought satisfaction to all but give
grave concern to those who look for
ward to conditions in 1920. The
exchange situation in Europe is a
grave problem and is so uncomfort-
able for foreign buyers as to neces-
striction on buying. The tendency
is to limit purchases to necessities.
If we would continue our foreign
trade at its present high level there
must be a freer and fuller exchange
of commodities and a very large ex-
tension of credit to European buy
ers. So let us look for the return
, of a more normal condition in which
buying and selling will be of bene-
fit and profit to both sides. On that
basis we may build commercial
! structure which will rest on a firm
!, foundation.
cit is too much to expect thai
normal conditions for which we al
| are so impatient should come within
| the IA months since the signing Of
| the armistice. The wonder is thai
!, the situation is not more unsettled
Existing conditions are not unlike
those following other wars, only th'
| problems are of greater proportion
and more complex. Our domestic
situation is not free from difficulty
Let US hope that in the year 1921
there will be less social unrest, tha
production will increase and living
costs be gradually reduced AM
that by intelligent cooperation an
unselfsh regard for the public vel
fare our national prosperity ma
continue"

MANAGEi2gs THE
PILOT MILLS
Declines to Submit Differences
With His Employees to
Governor Beckett
NOTHING TO ARBITRATE

Declaring that the differences be-
tween the management and the
striking operatives of the Pilot Cot
ton Mills are not matters for arbitra-
ton, Mr.. A. Y. Kelly, general man
ager of the mill yesterday declined
the suggestion coming from the
strikers that the matter be left to
Governor T. w. Beckett for adjust
ment, and the strike, which began
anew Tuesday morning after the
mill resumed operation on Monday
followed nearly three months of
idleness, again stands at a deadlock.
Letter were written to Mr.. Kelly
on Tuesday suggesting that the Gov
ernor be called in to assist in set
thing the strike that had been in
progress for three months, after the
matter had been thoroughly discus
sed at meeting of the employees.
The reply to the letter leaves the sit
uation apparently deallocked, and
without any indication of the next
step that may be taken toward
settlement.
Strikers Want Arbitration.
The questions involved, according
to Mr.. Kelly resolve themselves into
the question of whether the opera
tives through their union shall con-
troll the operation of the mills, or
whether the owners, by dealing di-
rectly with the employees, shall con-
tinue to direct the operation of their
own property.
The letter from Mr.. C. NJ. Brown,
chairman of the employees commit
tee, to Mr.. Kelly, follows:
"This is to inform you that the
union employees of your plant are
willing to leave the adjustment of
our differences to Hon. T. w. Bick-
ett, Governor of North Carolina, and
we desire to know if you are willing
to do likewise
To this Mr.. Kelly replied:
"Your letter of December 30th
received. and in reply I beg to say:
If there were any differences be-
tween the Pilos Mills and its pres
ent or former employees concerning
hours of labor, working conditions
or wages we would be glad to have
Governor Beckett arbitrate the mat
ter There are no such differences
nor are there any differences between
this mill and it's present. Or former
| employees The only differences that
| exist are with the Textile Union as
! union.
''That union by demanding that
| the management deal with commit,
tees representing it cit having out,
side affiliations) has raised the ques,
| tion as to whether the owners OF
the mill, by dealing directly with al
it's employees, shall control the op
erations of its plant. This is not &
question for arbitration"
