 An Increase

That the bottom has been reached in the industrial situation crisis In this city Is reflected by the best baro- metr known in matters of this k1no, the factory pay rolls as registered at the various banks. Inquiry maoe this morning at the First Natiohai Bank, the City National Bank, ana the Bridgeport Trust company snoweu either a marked steadiness or an ac- tual increase that is taken to mean that an improvement Is in sight
 These three institutions handle the great majority of factory accounts III this city. and at the City National a number of the smaller anu Ineutuiii sized manufacturing plants showed decidedly healthy trend as indicated by the pay rolls of Saturday.

Great Question In Washington Now Is Whether Disarmament
 Conference Will Be Wet Or Dry

Washington, Aug. S-That part of official Washington which is constitu- tionalIy opposed to the principles of MT. Vo1stead, is awaiting with eager interest a decision on the momentous question of whether the disarmament conference which convenes here in November is to be wet or dry. Those who agree with MT. Volstead are also interested, and are expected to have considerable to say if the decision goes against them.
 That the problem involves some nice considerations is disputed by no one. On the other hand, it involves the mapority and dignity of the do mestic law, as constituted in the Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol stead act; on the other, it brings into play delicate questions of diplomatic usage and international courtesy deemed essential to the success of the conference.
