G. e n era1 Conditions of
Country Found to Be
Unsatisfactory

James r. Dewey, president, and L. A,
Kelly, secretary of the Associated In
dustries of Vermont, who were in New
York last week attending the semi
annual conference of the National In
dustrial council, have returned home.
They found that the outlook for any
increase in business in the coming sum
mer months was very poor and that
the report of the census taken in 80
states in April substantiated the re-
port sent out by the federal govern
ment last Saturday that there has been
material reduction in the last few
weeks taking the states as whole.
The census of the national council
showed the percentage of decrease IN
employment between Feb. |, 1920, and
Feb. |. 1927, to be 1876, while the per
centage of production showed the men
working harder to hold their jobs,
namely ~ per cent, of 1920. The re
ports showed Vermont to be in better
shape than most of the states, except
ing Idaho and Kansas, where an I'M
proyement in conditions of Feb. !. 1920,
is shown.
The council took action tending TO.
wards supporting the legislation pend
ing In Congress, which advocates tar

of commodities to be shipped into this
country instead of on the foreign basis

ly to be for some time. j. A. Emery oil
Washington, d. C., spoke briefly upon
the legislation before Congress and the
outlook. while Congressman Webster
of Washington discussed the railroad
legislation before the same body.
The result of the meeting was a
feeling of closer cooperation in hopes
of bringing the business of the coun'
try back to normal as fast as posi-
bile.
