you may think that |. am in favor

throughout this country at least.
Calls Outlook Dark--12 Bod Ital ..
Feeling as l do, am Of the opinion
that there is going to be much unem-
ployment throughout the year in all
lines. believe, of course, that bust
ness will be better than at present,
because Of btteer weather and the ac-
tivities that follow from it, and, when
there is fair settlement made in the
building trades throughout the coun-
try, that will undoubtedly create q
markt for more building materials and
give employment to more men.
"In our business there is nothing on
which to base expectations of improve
mept. We are operating our plants
now about IS per cent of capacity, and
although we hope soon to be operating
at so per cent, we cannot call business
good until we can operate at 80 per
cent, so that we have long way to go
before we can call business good" r
Virtually no orders for attractive
tonnages of sheets are coming in this
district and current business is chiefly
confined to bundled lots. In canvass
ing the trade, statesmen report that
sheets are being offered below current
levels
Establishment Of the eight-hour day,
with discontinusnce Of time and half

in wages in some plants of the Steel
corporation will mean a virtual redue-
tion of 81 per cent over the scale ex-
isting prior to May IS. This cut af-
fects the laborers. Sataried men as
well as other employees will be given
an equitable wage adjustment, the per-

The eight-hour day has been intro
duced at the mills of the American

hour day will be continued in force in

Explains Introduction
Of Eight-Hour Steel Day
Spectnl Diapntch to The Trtbune Q

YOUNGSTOWN, May 21.-Explaining
the intoduction of the universal eight
hour day into the plants of the Youngs
town Sheet and Tube Company, Presi-
dent James A. Campbell says:
"When we reduced wages early in
February we expectd that by this time
businss would have improved SO that
we could operate our plant without any
change of hours. When we found dur
ing the month of April that business
did mt improve, but if anything grew
worse, we decided that we could not be
paying part of our men overtime while
the others were walking the streets
without employment.
Therefore we decided to put all de-
partments on an eight-hour basis:
First, because it would more evenly
divide up the work among our en-
ployees; and, second, because it would
reduce our labor costs to some extent
by making it unnecessary to pay time
and ahalf for all over eight hours. We
lost money in March and April, and for
this reason it was necessary for US to
operate as economically as possible.
This is only a temporary arrangement,
and as soon as business will justify it,
or we have business enough to operate
our plant on the old basi Of hours, we
expect to go back to that arrangement"

Many Wool Dealers
To Attend Auction
Frora a Special Corresponden.

BOSTON, May 21.-All the Boston
wool dealers and many from Philadel-
phia are expected to attend the eSv-
ernment auction in Bosten May 2G
Owing to the fact that the sale wa
probably tend to have bearish effect
on low grade wools, merchants do not
hail toe auction with JOY. but they are
interested to be present and note cara-
fully purchasers and prices. Carpet
manufacturers, who have recently sold
large quantities Of carpets at auction,
will come in person or have their rep
resentatives attend. and they all have
a keen interest in the figures paid.
An element which enters into the
situation is the fact that the emer-
gency tariff bill, according to It's
phraseology, does not cover carpet
wools, but only clothing wools.
The coming auction is regarded as q
test as to whether 1t la now q good
time for the government 10 offer the
remainder of the woods left on nand
at the close Of the war. Some 5o,o00,-
600 pounds sse still uudasposed OF.

was too bulky for them to handle; thon
we got what was left over. And this
Is likely to continue SO long as our for

ment OF our great country must admit

The fault lies principally In the fact
that we do not pay enough for consuls,
commercial attaeh6, etc, SO enable the
department Mt Washington to select a
class Of men who have had business ex-
perience enough to carry on this work
The efficiency. of this department is
fundamental in the export business of
any country, and one has only to look
at the very able representatives of
other nations for various. countries to
realize the position Of the American
export manufacturer.
Our country to-day has a wonderful
opportunity before it. We have the
"onoy' we can manufacture the goods.
snd we have the business experience
and energy to enlarge our scope of ex-
ports tremendously, but we have got to
have more encouragement from our
own government. In the past, as every
one very well knows, If the exporter
got in any difficulties abroad no aid
could be expected from our own gov
ernment. 1t seems to me that at this
time reciprocal treaties could be made
with various countries which desire to
buy materials from US, and very much
closer trade relations established. The
time is quito opportune to take up

there it is. Yet in q normal pre-war
year-and for half century back
the Irish linen industry was dependent
on Russia for at least 10000 toms of
flax and tow fibre annually. Where
then is the fibre necessary for the
linen industry to come. FROM Does

or twelve months ahead must 20 very

Export Trade Resumption

pect. And the raw material of any
industry must be its arterial and es-
sential blood supply. And now for
present conditions in regard to the
linen market and, since cotton is the
economic complement of linen this ad-
vance is bound to have its effect in in
creased demand for linen fabrics of
all kinds. This points to 9 speedy re-
vival of trade on a satisfactory basis
and with a continuance of demand
based on actual requirements. Reports
from the retail trade indicate that
merchandise is moving in a satisfac-
tory manner, and though the extended
Easter holidays have tended to make
business somewhat quiet, April has
dawned with o very hopeful volune of
orders
OHoouDtediy some merchants are
still very severely handicapped by
stocks of goods which cannot be liqui-
dated. Still there Is the consolation
that they will be in demand ere many
months have passed.
Prices Below Cost
"It is true, also, that prices in some
lines of cloth are down to q point when
it seems an utter imposslbility for
them to come lower. AS matter Of
fact, in SO per cent of business being
transacted at present no manufacturer
would, or could, replace their products
on the same basis. Hence, when it
comes that manufacturers are in a posi-
tion to replace orders it will be neees-
sary for merchants TO recast the whole
range of selling prices. 1t must be re-
membered that even with works run
ming on half time there is no, GORE

which have hitherto prevented salts
factory trading with tho European

Belfast manufacturers report encourag-
ing inquiries already, so it can only

"A MERYCA is facing a world
- trade war comparable in les
ramificaticns to the great
military conflict, and with the odds
greatly favoring European manu-
facturers, in the opinion of William
II. Woodin, president Of the Ameri-
can Car and Foundry Company, who
recently returned from trip
abroad, where he made an intensive
study OF the prospects for foreign
trade in the railroad equipment field.
mr. Woodin came back firmly con-
vinced that European competition in
the coming months will be grave
menace to American trade in foreign
fields. principally because in the pre-
war days Great Britain and the Con.
tinental countries were foresighted d
enough to make extensive permanent
investments in territories outside their
own domains. He does not believe that
the foreign trade financing corpora
tions organized here since the war
will solve the problem, although they
may aid temporarily.
The railroad equipment builder, in
an interview with The Tribune, pointed
out that Germany is already manifest
ing itself in the quest for foreign
business in bids recently submitted ON
new Spanish contracts. Belgium, how
ever. submitted even lower bids, and
ii is to Belgium, Mr.. Woodin predicts,

Through the sddresses of most Of the
foreign representatives there ran the
theme Of tremendous possibilities in
the way Of the development of natural
resources, many of which are un-
touched, or at most merely scratched
on the surface At present Particularly
IN South America, according to the Dip
lomats from Latin-Am erican countries,
are there almost endless possibilities
Tor the pioneering American spirit that
built up this country in the short space
OF century and half.
In the words Of DR.. Julio Bisnchi,
Minister of Guatemala, Europe has
the men, United States has the money
and South America the land" The
thought expressed by DR.. Bianehi and
by other of the South American dipio-
mats is that immigration from Europe
and financial backing from this coun-
try are necessary to full DEVELOPMENT
OF the resources Of the southern con-
rinent In the, western hemisphere. but
that above this is the great oooortunjtv
for large profits to be derived from this
development.
The field of tropical industries. ac-
cording TO DR.. Bianchi, has not been
surveyed it is even awaiting its pio-
neers. "See, for instance, this water
proof coat" he said, holding uu a
rather unsightly garment for the in
spection of the convention delegates.
ut does not look very nice, but
many times it has undergone the ordeal
OF tropical rain for hours and not q
drop. OF water has gone through. 1t
mas been strapped across a saddle for
hundreds OF miles, but there is not a
crack in it. 1t has been in use for
two years and will be serviceable for
many more, 1t is superior, as far rs
service is concerned, to any factory
made product that I know of, and it
did not cost one~half as much as the
factory-made raincoat. This raincoat
was made by native Of Guatemala by
the simple process of painting a piece
OF cloth, stretched between two sticks,
with the liquid rubber as it comes from
the tree. Those who know something
about the costly and lengthy operations
to which solid rubber is submitted to
attain less satisfactory result will
understand why think that many
rubber goods ought to be manufactured
in the tropics. There are, in the
strictly tropical class, hundreds Of in
dustrics to be developed, > but the pioneer
ing of this field hardly belongs to the
present We must first of ali improve
the quality of the population and in
crease its quantity. This is what I
consider of most Importance at this
time and you will see that my plan is
not in the realm Of the impossible"
Guatemala, according to DR.. Bianchi

u blaihes IDEAS OF reciprocity which
were promulgated SO many years ago"
Domestic Outlook
Concerning domestic business. Mr..
Woodin asserted that the railroads are
buying little or nothing in tho way of
equipment at the present time, and or
ders on hand are almost entirely of
domestic origin. As TO the general out
LOOK, however, he was more optimistic.
The outlook when the needs of the
railroads are considered statistically,.
ne said, "is tremendous. A great deal
Of money will have to be expended ON
the railroads Of the world. 1t is only
question of time whsn this business
Will start to mover Domestically the
same rule holds.
Recent reductions in steel prices
have had no apprcciable effect on the
volume of railroad buying. The rail-
roads cannot buy equipment until their
financial problems have been solved.
The trouble with the railroads, outside
OF the excessive cost of operation Is
lack of husiness. You can pass all the
laws you like to help them, but if they
have no business they cannot make
money
With the crop movement coming on
in the fall, however, business should
show material improvement, and the
railroads are going to have great deal
of transportation to take care of. With
falr labor adjustments and the in
creased freight rates they should make
good showing later on.
Present freight rates are not imped-
ing business. In my opinion any re-
duction at this time would spell ruin
for the majority of the roads. Certain
adjustments may be deemed advisable,
but they are few ~

your country you had the help of
European capital, which was richly re-
warded. In like manner Brazil well

Depression Hurts
Reconstruction OF South Amsrics,
which has felt the heavy hand of in

tion Of Europe, according to Federico

he said at the conference, "T wsuid
suggest that the finsnciers of tbs
United States, and also the statesmen,
should make it a point to see that GER
tain of the American republic are
properly financed and developed by the
aid of American capital. There iu no
getting away from the fact that the
present moment is the most propitious
one to permanently secure continuous
supply of the raw products which the
United States needs for her great in
dustrial plants. Already the rivalry Of
nations is being made mawifest in the
quest for petroleum, coal, water power,
cotton, wool, hides and foodstuds.
"1n Peru all of these are to be found
in abundance. De not chase rainbows
by seeking to reconstruct Europe; open
up South America. which is the natural
outlet for your superHuous energies,
Establish lasting footholds there and
