PITTSBURGH, August II (Special).
Coal operators are awaiting the re-
turn of two prominent Pittsburgh coal
company officials from Europe to take
up the question of wage reductions in
this district. This question has been
raised by wage cuts in the Somerset
county. Westmoreland county and
Connellsville fields and the non union
mines of central Pennsylvania, which
have placed the Pittsburgh operators
at disadvantage in production costs

Reports of the employment situation

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, August 17.-Further
liquidation, the crop movement and
gold imports have rendered the credit
situation in this section decidedly
easier. Funds show tendency to
accumulate and this would have a
wider effect on business had not
closed plants. falling prices and ur-
gency of the tax demand made capi-
tai timid. Price readjustments have
not been entirely completed. While
the all commodity index number has
dropped to l4s and farm products
stand at ll3. with iron and steel at
132. house furnishings are still up to
$50 and building materials at 202.
Furniture prices at Chicago and Grand
Rapids factories. however, have fallen
approximately 25 per cent and manu-
facturers are well pleased with in
creased sales. Building locally shows
no improvement, the home building
going on not being adequate to solve
rent and housing problems. Prices of
materials are the principal deterring
factor. With many plants closed or
producing at less than capacity, retail
trade has slowed up, but retailers are
cutting and leveling out prices.
On the assets side of the business
balance sheet are higher railroad ef-
fciency, crops better than the aver
age, sterilization of prices. strong
bank reserves. low money rates. de-
pletion of merchandise stocks and
the abounding confidence of the
