 CT Speaks 0ptimiStically of Present Outlook

That the movement of business and industry is in the right direc tion and that the backward move ment has stopped and the forward one set in, seems the common belie1 of the most conservative of Birming- ham men whose opinion is worth while.
 w. H. Hnssinscr, former in- dustrinl operator, capitalist and held In highest esteem in fiBan- cIal and industrial circles as n keen observer and a man cau- tious of statement, saidi
 "A gradual betterment has set in. Certain it is that the back ward movement has ceased. That Is the same ns to say that there has been improvement in cOndt- tions.
 "The steel mills aIl over the country are increasing operations In response to n greater demand for their output. This is not in isolated steel centers, but 1t Is general nnd, therefore, has bearing on the general condition.
 "It is possible that there may be another relaxing in the move ment toward the better, but un- doubtedly the general ouNooS is brighter and substantially inn proved.
 "i don't mean that we face boom. I see no hurry fin the for ward movement. It Is Just Rs gradual as It is apparently sound.
 "Thcre Is to be some more de- flation, labor and railroad rates for example, but the movement is In the right direction and there is much reason for looking forward with confidence"

Labor Day this year undoubt-
edly has deeper significance fol
the members of the organized
labor movement than in any Other
year since Labor Day was institu-
ted. We are all painfully aware OF
the terrible business and Industrial
depression through which not
only the people Of America, but OF
the world are passing.
I'VE know that labor has car
ried more than its Just share of the
burden of the oppression that fol-
lowed the closing of the most
gigantic and destructive war in
the history of the world. We
know that labor has paid and is
still paying more than its just
share of the price at which the
safety Of civilization was pur-
chased In that war.
mot only are we fully cogniz-
ant Of these outstanding facts, but
we point with unbounded pride to
the splendid record of labor in
these trying years. Without the
benefit of compact body of or
ganized workers in America, fully
determined to do their patriotic
duty, the war could not have been
won, for 1t was only through the
combined, steady, sustained ef-
forts of labor that fuel, food and
