many steel workers and miners, who
last year were enjoying incomes,
however, now are seeking credlt at
the grocery. It is an, outstanding
fact. however, that while the indus

very favorable with that of year
ago.

of others have been filled from near

What kind of brain is there;
For all the facts that he might amass
Won't make sage of silly ass .
Though they might enable simp to pass

There's many a who'd fall down flat
On Edison QUESTIONABLE
Who nevertheless beneath his hat
Has plenty of brains to spare;
For education-or so I'd state
Consists in planning and thinking straight
And these you scarcely demonstrate

Move Made to Prevent
Wholesale Dumping Of
Foreign Goods in US.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE tariff
commission is drafting a resolution
to prevent wholesale dumping of for
eign goods into the United States be-
tween the reporting of the perma-
nent tariff bill to the house and the
date of it's final enactment, it was
announced today following a meeting
Of the house and senate Republican
steering committees.
The committees met jointly on the
Longworth resolution which provides
that rates of duty in the new bill
shall be effective as of the date OF
the reporting of the bill to the
house.
Practical difficulties In the way Of
this course. pointed out by the tariff
commission, led house leaders to ask
the commission to frame a workable
provision. Action on the Longworth
measure was delayed pending re-
port from the tariff commission.

TWIN CITIES To SOLVE

Downright, +921.)
ST. PAUL. Mimi, June 1.-THE lit
tie Improvement noted in business
conditions in the twin cities the last
week was brought about by the in
fiux of tourists to the lake regions
and the house marketing campaign
conducted by jobbers and whole
salers. The unemployment problem
will be solved in some measure next
month when, as a result of the cut
in wages, the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and 500 line will return
approximately fourteen thousand
railroad men to their northwest pay
rolls. The 500 line will add four
thousand, the Northern Pacific $500,
and the Great Northern $500.
Another indication of the tendency
Of labor toward acceptance of wage
reductions was found in the decision
of 1000 workers of the Washburn-
Crosby flour mills to take flat cut
Of one dollar a day, tie first wage
cut in the history of the company,
so officials say.
Merchants from the small towns,
who came to the Twin Cities as
guests of the jobbing organizations,
were rather conservative in their
buying but the total amount sold
during the\ week of their stay will
equal that Of last year.

STRONGER BUSINESS
SITUATION IS SEEN
BY JAMES ALLERToN
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(ConYright 1921

NEW YORK, June 7.-Conditions
are progressing slowly but steadily
toward a stronger business basis.
Merchants are moving cautiously but
their attitude mas in it more of con-
fidence for decisive turn for the
better. Buyers are following a hand
to-mouth buying policy and this has
had a corresponding effect on whole
sale markets. Unemployment still
is marked factor in the situation
in this section, Arthur Williams,
head of a bureau for placing former
service men, declared today that un-
employment was more serious than
ever before with no industrial jobs
available.
Warmer weather put more life into
bushes in the textile, shoe and ap-
Pparel Industries. Dry goods prices
are holding steady with print cloths
at slight advance over last week.
Brick is moving out of the whole
sale market on nearly normal sched-
ule and most Of it is going direct to
building operations. Leather is steady
although shoe manufacturers are not
purchasing beyond immediate re-
qu1rements. Iron and steel markets
lack firmness but trading in hides
has shown favorable demand and
some advance in quotations.

would be duties on duties which il

Increases This Year

In. this year Of 1921 exports to Mex
leo still continue to show remarkable
increases. Up to August this increase
amounted to 53 per cent. Even this
big gain IN total values of our sales to
Mexico does not represent the actual
increase in quantities OF merchandise
sent there, since in most cases the
prices per unit of quantity are 80 much
less than a year ago that the quantity
figures show even larger gains. than
those Of total values.
In cotton cloths alone the value
doubles, but the quantity quadruples,
the value of the cotton cloths sent to
Mexico in the eight months ended with
August, 1921. having been s7,S50,000,
against $3,419, 900 in the same months
OF last year, while the 1921 quantity is
900 yards, against 9,7S4,0 900 in
the corresponding months of last year.
In cotton hosiery the quantity is near
ly double that of last year, while in
raw cotton the number OF pounds sent
to Mexico is 1881 900. against 59l 900
in the same months of last year.
In many other articles the increase
in quantity Is very large. Bituminous
coal exported to Mexico in the eight
months of 1921 was $4,000 tons,
against $4,000 in the same months OF
last year; commercial automobiles
1,o73, against $50 last year; passenger

"Third, the people Of our country

The American valuation plan tariff will
in many cases double the foreign cost
OF spch merchandise. and Incidentally
encourage and enable the American
manufacturer to raise the price OF his
own production.
Fourth, it will seriously curtail our
imports Of merchandise: First, the
merchant under the proposed plan car
never estimate the landed cost Of his
imports, and as ne has to place his
orders six months or more ahead he
would not be willing to thus buy a pig
in poke; second, with this plan in
creasing the cost of goods approxi-
mately 100 per cent, it would amount
to virtual prohibition on the sale OF
such. The so-called buyers strike
