CWrtten specially for the Bulletin) I've just been reading with considera- ble interest a summary of the Sep tember statement by the Labor De- partment at Washington.
 IL is, of course, about labor in mills shops, factories, and the like. Labor on the farms, which is the most wide ly followed, the hardest, Pand the low est-paid. is, apparently, quite out of sight from the tall towers of the La bor building. But we can, perhaps, get some facts in relation to that, lat CT on, from other sources.
 Secretary Davis of the labor de- partment seems to have convinced himself and to be trying to convince the rest of us that the trouble is about over. He calls attention 10 the fact that, when the big slump came, something over a year ago. 700, 900 of the country's 15,000,O00 factory etc, workers were dropped idle,-out of jobs and unable to find them. Only a little over 9,000,000 were still getting pay envelopes. Now, &C., cording to the apartments reports, at least 120OO, GOO are drawing regu- lar monthly pay and only 5000 900 are idle. In the best of normal times from
 
 ing new jobs or changing from one place to another. These figures, if correct, seem to indicate that only a million or so above the normal are still unemployed.
 This points towards desirable con- ditiOn in the labor world of the fac tories, shops, mills etc. Moreover, those employed, though slightly less in numbers than before the war, are get ting more wages than the larger pre- war number. The F, 100000 who are working now, are drawing monthly wages of almost exactly s12, ,00o, 900, 900 a year. The average is stated to be Sl0c0 a year to skilled and unskilled labor Gin factories, shops, mills, etc., always understood.) Before the war the average was only about $500 a year. This, the department reports, is quite to be expected as Economic his- tory shows that following wars wage scales always have found levels high CT than before the conflict
 Despite the deflation of wages the great bulk of the nations industria group is better off financially now thar before the war. Don't forget, all the while, that it is the industrial group m Snops, mills ana 1aCtorleS which il referred to- and whose increased pros. perity is pointed out by the departmen officials.
 How about the equally numerou. and, basically more important indus trial group" which is digging dirt anC raising things to eat on the farms How much of a share are they havin, in this increased financial prosperity How much are they getting out o the 'deflation' on one side and thu resumption of industry on the other

Foreign Capital and Polish Oil.

A the present time Polish oil production
~ amounts to hardly per cent of the worlds
output; whereas twenty years ago Galica
ranked third among the ol-producng countries. This
decline does that Polands oil resources
have been exhausted since the borings that being
exploited constitute only very small part OF the
total resources During the war few new borings
have been made and those which already existed have
been gradually decreasing in output Very rich oil
fields have recently been discovered in the eastern
part of Gaicia. New companies backed by French
capital have been formed for the exploitation of
these territories.
Regarding the participation of foreign capital in
the development of the Polish oil industry, the
Baltic Re,irrp says
Before the war, the pioneer work of drilling was
a great extent accomplished by the Polish capital
lists Under present conditions home capital is quite
insufficient to cope with the problem, and is
sary and more to foreign financial aid.
"In this respect, the greatest interest is being
shown by American and French capital The Stand
ard Oil Company has acquired controlling interest
in the Polish Society Nobel, which before the war
imported petroleum from Baku, but has now, how
ever extended its sphere Of influence to the Galican
oil fields The Standard Oil Company intends to be-
gin drilling operations in Gaica large scale, and
has devoted capital of over 100000 marks to this
purpose

tasts. The text Of the Polish proposal has not yet
been published but rumor has it that Poland will
give special rights France far as the exploiting
of oil is concerned. The government in Warsaw has
given an undertaking to sign no oil convention with
any foreign power without an understanding with
France In exchange, French capitalists have prom
ised to give financial aid to Poland.
"A further project the lease Of the state
refinery in Drohobycz. Negotiations between the
Roya Dutch Company and the Polish ministry of
finance took place in January last but in the mean
time Poland has granted the French government an
option for the lease Of the refinery The Polish press
is strongly attacking this arrangement considering it
preudiSial to Polish national interests, The opinion
is often expressed that undertaking Of such great
national importance should not be in the hands OF
foreigners .,..
