In spite. of the many mistakes
made, the control of Industry dur
ing the war taught us many lessons
some ofswhich II seems We are In a
fair way to forget. Among these
lessons were the great advantage of
cooperative efforts and the bene-
fits to be derived from the stand
ardization of products. To d very
large extent these efforts were just
beginning to bear fruit when the
armistice came and all govern
mental direction ceased almost i'm
mediately. OF course, many Of the
restrictions imposed upon Industry
during the war period were. not
adapted 10 peacetime conditions. No
doubt it was the reaction against
these severe restraints which has
prevented more general recognition
of the benefits which might be de-
rived from reasonable co-operatien.
Some Of the results which were
obtained during the war and which
should serve as Illustrations of
what may be accomplished in this
direction, are contained in the re-
Gently published report of the War
Industries Board, entitled. -1Ameri-
can Industry in the War" The fol-

cent of the wool ordinarily used In
that industry. A schedule provid-
ing that hosiery. underwear, and
other knit goods, with certain
small exceptions, should be packec
for shipment in paper-covered bales
instead of pasteboard boxes result
ed in a large saving in shipping
space, while at the same time IL re-
leased pasteboard to be used as a
substitute for tin plate in the man
ufacture of containers for articles
for which tin plate had been for
bidden. 1t was estimated that this
schedule would have effected an
annual saving of 17.312 carloads Of
freight space, 14I,00o.o 900 cartons,
and nearly 100000 wooden packing

On the face of it, spooIs for
thread would seem to be an indus

showed that thread manufacturers
had reduced the yardaEe on spools
from 200 yards to $50 yards and
were considering further ,rcduc-
tion to 100 yards in order to avoid
disturbing the unit retail selling

the division at 200 yards per spool.

Mexicaa Petreleun.
Mexican Petroleum was subjected
to harsh treatment by the bears, all
sorts Of unfavorable rumors being
circulated relative to the affairs of
that corporation, particularly with
respect to salt water, etc. Even the
statement Of Presiden Doheny,
which was Of decidedly -bullish
character, did not tend to stimulate
any degree Of strength in the stocks
OF this corporation, and many made
predictions Of much lower quota
tions Tor the stock. Some of the
low priced oils held remarkably
well, easing of about a point or so
from the high quotations recorded
earlier in the week, Inyirfcible Oil,
after selling up around 2l. easing
on TO 1s%. Pacific Oil after selling

So far as the general oil situation is

Rails.
So. far as the railroad stocks are
concerned there was plenty Of am
munition for the bears in the form
OF disquietude in relations between
employees and the railroad opera
tors, but the more conservative
were inclined to take the position
that the difficulties in this con-
nection will be satisfactorily ad-
justed. Railroad conditions have
become manifestly bad for some
time past, but the fact that Presi-
dent Harding and his Cabinet have
seen Mt to take hand in the situa-
tion and are endeavoring to for
mulste some sort of workable
basis which will overcome present
difficulties is interpreted in some
quarters with favor. There was
continued selling of Great Northern
Railway preferred which eased on
moderately on Friday, but there was
no more basis for the decline in
this railroad stock than for that es-
tablished in others, the general rail-
road situation in itself being such
as to create uneasiness in prac-
ticslly all railroad shares.
