Great optimism in the belief that prices

iems, is expressed In the annual report
Of the Public Service Commission. Be-
lief is also expressed by the commits
sion that coal costs viii become less

A list of materials, including copper.
which is used in large quantities, have
recently taken o drop, but several other
commodities, including wages, remain
high, according to the report.
While wages remain high, the com
mission says the labor. obtained is more
efficient, due to the fact that men are
more careful of their work, now that
there are more men than jobs. The fact
hat employers are able to pick their men.
instead Of taking what they can get, has
made for efficiency, the commission says.
