The above table gives comparison OF wholesale
price index numbers for the United States and certain
foreign countries The index numbers have all been
reduced to common base by expressing them as per
cents Of the 1918 average index number
In each of the four countries prices reached their
peak during the early months of 1890 and since that
time have shown marked decline. As measured by
the Department Of Labor index, wholesale prices in
the United States have declined 4os per since the
high point Of last May. Bradstreet's index up to
March L. 1921. shows a decline OF 432 per cent. The
April index number not shown in the table, amounts
to I2s representing total decline OF ass per cent
The Economist index number indicates that Brit
ish prices in March were per cent higher, than jim
1918 This represents decline of 387 per from
the peak reached year ago. The French index
Der shows wholesale prices still 2s6 per above
1913 but 3os per cent below the peak Of last April.

Judge Gary dealt at length with the labor prob
lens, declaring for the open shop and blaming high
production costs the methods of organized labor
which he believes promote neHciency. He urged the
passage of laws to apply to all economic organic
exceeding certain specified numbers or amounts and
added that both organized capital and organized labor
should be placed under these laws.
British Strike Unsettled.
Business circles felt considerably easier after the
announcement that the British transport and railway
workers would join the miners in a sympathetic
strike. II is generally believed that this action has
ayerted the very serious consequences with which
Great Britain threatened week ago. However
the effect of long continued coal strike is not to be
minimized and far but little progress has been made
in settling the differences between the miners and the
operators. The Welsh miners stubbornly resisting
any compromise their original demands.
Effect Of Foreign Situation.
The developments during the last few days offer
little encouragement for early settlement between
the allies and the Germans The occupation of the
Ruhr by the French certainty although it
is understood that the date for this invasion has been
changed from the first to the twelfth of May The
attitude of the Germans regarding the allied demand
for the transfer of the German gold reserve of the
Rechsbank to allied territory has still further unsettled
conditions II is the general feeling that business
conditions cannot improve until Europe arrives at
working basis for peace This together with the lack
Of any definite foreign policy by the United States
seriously rearding business II is believed that these
uncertainties the chief Of the present dis
inclination Of the public take part either in, the

FOR GUESTS ON
ARM|ST|CE DAY
1000 Medal Of Honor Men,
State Representatives and
legionnaires Coming.

Washington home owners are today
called upon TO furnish quarters for the
greatest heroes representing this
country during the war. the Govern.
ment's guests during the Armistice
Day burial OF an unknown soldier.
The Washington Real Estate Board.
acting In cooperation with the War
Department. is endeavorins to take
care OF 500 OF the 1000 guests. The
men invited include all living holders
OF the medal of honor. State repre-
sentatives who served in France. an
officer and enlisted man from each
branch or the army. navy, marine
corps, and coast guard, an American
Legion member from each Stale and
Territory. and a member from each
permanent war veteran society.
These additional visitors are present
ing a difficult housing problem. as
their arrival will be coincident with
the opening of the conference on limi.
tation of armaments.
The Hotel Mems Association has
agreed to provide for 500 Of the guests
and the Real Estate Board. through
Washington citizens. for the remain
ing 500.
Percy II. Russell, chairman Of the
special committee on housing, stated
today that every effort would he made
to secure sufficient promises of rooms
so that a definite report can be sub.
mitted to the War Department early
next week.
As these guests will be in Washing
ton not longer than from November 8
to November 12. 1t has been found
necessary to locate quarters other
than those listed with the board for
use In connection with the arms con-
ference. These consist OF properties
to be rented for a definite term, de-
pending upon the duration Of the con-
ference.
Harry X. Boss, president Of the
Real Estate Board, has sent a per-
sonal appeal to every Washington real
estate man asking his individual co.
operation in securing the needed
rooms.
The War Department has expressed
a preference for hotels and apart
ments, so far as possible, tp order to
centralize the housing. These will soon
be exhausted, however, and several
hundred rooms in private homes will
be needed, II is thought
According to present plans all rooms
listed with the board will be listed
with the War Department In def.
mite fashion and the owners Will be
notified in advance of the guest as
signed him by the War Department.
: 'Tt is hoped by the officials that
the residents Of Washington will re-
spond to this call for public service in
honor Of our unknown soldier dead.
and that they will make reasonable
charges for the accommodations Of
fered," the board appeal states.
