Labor Troubles Threaten

SAN FRANCISCO. Calf. May a.
With the building trades unions and
employers in a deadlock over reduce
tion in wages and shipping crippled
by a strike a halt is threatened in
the business revival which had been
in progress for some time but neither
employers nor employees appear to re-
gard either controversy as likely to
be prolonged.
After a hard campaign the Prune
Growers Association has secured
signatures to contracts covering IS
per cent Of the acreage Of the state
which means the pooling OF the great
bulk Of the crop In spite Of the fact
is still unsold. These contracts run
for long periods SO the control of this
industry Is sure to remain in the
hands of the association. The prune
crop has suffered from frost more
than at first reported.
Surplus Can Stock.
Inquiries among fruit Gamers this
week show that while the pack will
companies will keep their plants
closed. They are stirl concerned with
the movement Of their surplus from
last year. although good progress has
duced prices. Frost damage promises
to keep fruit prices higher than was
expected few weeks ago.
The Gamers are showing little &C
tivity in making contracts. Strawber-
ries, which were expected to be cheap,
are holding up in spite of rapidly in
creasing receipts. The crop as a
whole will be far short Of what was
anticipated.
Grain Crop to He Short.
Within the past ten days grain pros
poets in the Sacramento valley have
suffered seriously from drought and
high winds. Rain today relieved the
situation somewhat, but the grain
crop will be short. While this will
adversely affect business conditions it
will permit the movement of last
years surplus grain.
Rice growers report that the total
acreage planted this season will be
between 10000 and 1000 acres, Last
year 10000 acres were planted, Lead
ing brokers say there is no serious
rice surplus here. but there is q pooI
deal OF rain-damaged rice. The sue

NEW YORK, May 2.-Retail mer-
chants of the country again are at
issue with government agency. They
contained in the monthly report Of
tne Federal Reserve Board. which de-
clares the retailers are blocking the
processes of safe readjustment by
demanding continued high prices.
John Wanamaker takes up the cud-
tnat retail prices are down to a level
Where the people may buy with con-
f1dence.
Generally speaking" says Mr..
anamaker, prices in the United
states are approximately only so per
Canada, Great Britain, Australia and
Japan they are said to be nearly
twice as high. In Sweden they are
Two and half times as high, in
france three times. and in Italy six
times: Most economists agree that
we Will not be back entirely for some
eline 10 pre-war prices and it seems
1alr 10 assume that prices today are
nearing stable level. In fact. in
some lines prices are stiffenine and
advances are being made because of
scarcity"

wholesale houses. according to an an
nouncement here. The cut brings the
price 10 l6 cents yard on the stand

NEW YORK. May 1.-The National
City Bank circular, out today, de-
clares that the cost of manufa ctured
goods is out of all proportion to the
returns the farmer is receiving for
raw materials. In the circumstances.
the bank declares that either the cost
OF farm products and raw materials
must rise to the level Of manufac-
lures and the prevailing wage scales

down.

BOSTON, May 2.-Complete figures
for March for twenty-four represent
alive retail stores in New England.
including the eight largest depart
ment stores in Boston. as compiled by
the federal reserve bank OF Boston.
show sales for March of 40 per cent
more than in February. In the case
of the Boston tsores sales were in ex
cess of those of March, 1920. and way
ahead of March, 1919. Retail sales
outside of oBston in March were al
most up to those of year ago.
whereas for several months they had
been running under 1920.
Stocks of goods on hand in the
stores both in Boston and outside are
materially less than year ago. Buy
ing by the stores continued of hand
tomouth variety. although as whole
sale prices have held steady for sew
eral weeks. there is a growing dispo-
on the average commodity prices have
seen their lows.
Wooden Mills More Active.
The wooden mills are more active
than any other important New Eng
land industry, the current output be
ing substantially up to that OF year
ago. Most mills are pretty we'll sold
up to fall
Cotton goods aremoving better, the
consumption of cotton by the New
England mills in April being the
largest since last September. Fine
goods. particularly standard brands.
are selling fairly well. Some of the
manufacturers of Bingham are sold
through the summer. Cotton yarns
and coarse goods continue quiet.
The wool market is steady. There
is too much wool to hope for early
Improvement in price. The tariff is
expected to help the situation, but
prices continue very low.
Leather Trade Is Quiet.
Leather holds dull at about the low
prices. Supplies are large. but the
feeling in the trade is that current
quotations will be the lowest. The
boot and shoe industry is operating
at a scant 80 per cent of capacity.
Some Of the Maine factories have cut
wages 20 per cent. but the wage scale
in the Brockton district, the largest
manufacturing center of mems fine
shoes in the world. has not been re-
duced at all.
The building trades unions have
apparently lost their strike against
wage reductions because building is
slowly increasing under open-shop
conditions. Building mechanics are
paid 80 cents an hour, whereas they
struck for a continuation OF last
years rate of 81. The employees OF
the Boston Elevated. the local street
railway, have unanimously accepted

Whest Reports Satisfactory.
1t is generally. believed that the

generally satisfactory. and from the

Very little change in range condi-
tions and a gain in hog receipts at

Pan Handle district were damaged
slightly from late heavy frosts, but

OIL Drilling Increases.
An increase Of 928,5S6 barrels of oil
over February was noted in the dis

was opened by the bringing in Of a

Buck Ramsey and his Hustlers
handed the SoX defeat yesterday
but it was bird. In fact, il there
was anything that was left out of
the game in funny breaks we can't
remember what it could have been.
1t was a loosely played throughout,
but the climax came in the second
half of the fourth inning with Mar
tinsburg at bat. There was one
hand out and Miller the Frederick
Ccnterlielder made a wonderful one
LANDED catch. Some negro on the OPP
posite side of the fence called him
a few rotten names for making it
and "Tubby' ran to the center
