Public Still
 Waiting For
 Lower Prices
(By H. K. REYNoLDs.)

Washington, July S-Manufactur CTS of the United States, in the face of the protracted industrial depres- sion and the mounting tide of unem- ployment, are optimistic, and while they recognize the probability of dull summer in most lines, there is tendency to expect improvement by fall and healthy business revival in the spring of 1922, according to re- ports from 65 industrial centers com piled and made public today by the Department of Labor.
 The reports indicate that the usual summer business slump has offset some of the improvement which was evident in May and that retail sales show that the public is still waiting for lower prices.
 Discharges of employees because of lack of work during the month of June were reported by all firms ex- cept these engaged in the manufac- ture of food products, textiles leather, clay products and tobacco During the month .42S establishments re- ported the discharge of 46, ,414 work men, pay roll decrease of 2.9 per cent The net increase in these same concerns since Jan. 31 has been 1O1,- O10, or 6.2 per cent, according to the departments figures.
 The fundamental causes of the present business depression of which unemployment is one of the most alarming phases, are cited by the U.
  ment of Labor as follows:
 1-UnSatiSfactory conditions Of transportation with freight rates in many instances considered almost prohibitive-
 2-Lack of a normal foreign mark ct.
 3-Present low value of farm pro- ducts.
 4-Stagnation in iron and steel 5-High costs of construction. 6-General dullness of the retail trade.
 Labor controversies in the building trades and other industries in the Eastern states have increased unem- l ployment, but many of these disputes i are expected to be settled shortly. The department states that an al most nationwide housing shortage still persists
 Percentage figures of employne | increases and declines during June | included cities as follows: | Decreases-Bridgepo Conn.,. S-6 | Boston, AS; Waterbury, Conn, Is; New Haven. Conn.,. 1.3- Increases - Brockton, Mass, 6-5; Fall River, Mass, 50; Manchester CT N. H., 3.6; Springfield. Mass 2S; | Lowell, Mass. 0.9; Worcester. o.S; New Bedford, o.s; Lawrence, 9.s.

May Seize
 Foreign Ships
 Carrying Run,

Washington, July - Diplomatic rows with foreign governments were in the off1ng today and the Volstead law is again the root of the trouble. State Department ofRcia1s may be be- seiged with envoys of protesting for eign powers, incensed because the United States may seize and search their ships for contra band liquor.
 Fully conscious of the dangers in volved, treasury officials today went ahead preparing regulations which may fall like a bonlbshell upon for iegn ears. Foreign ships. having liquor aboard and entering American territorial waters. run the risk of seizure by U. s. government agents.
 Attorney General Daugherty said today that no course was left open to him but to interpret the Vo1stead law as it stands and this statute clear Iy forbids liquor laden ships entering American ports, en route to other foreign destinations, even for eoaling purposes.
 The British government, it was un- derstood today, will be the first of the principl powers to chg l1enge the right of the American government to tres pass upon tie privileges set up in time honored commercial treaties and other agreements of commodity and good will governing reciprocal cOurteSieS,

Send Radio Messages To
 Seek Canao

New York, July s.---Broadcast ra- dio messages were sent out today by the navy station at Arlington, Va, seeking news of the passenger steam ship Callao, which is due here Sum- day from Buenos Aairs and Rio De Janeiro with 60 passengers.
 Officials of the Munson Line. her operating agents, reiterated today that they had no fears for her safety and suggested that lack of replies to inquiries might be due to a break down O her radio equipment. The wireless apparatus of the Callao has a transmitting range of 500 miles
 Washington, July S-There was concern at the White House today over reports that efforts to get in communication with the Munson line steamship Callao have been futile- John Christian, son of secretary to the President George Christian and John Massey, a close friend of Secretary Christian, are cadet officers on the Calloa.
 Secretary Christian talked with of ffcers of the Munson line over the telephone today and they informed him that the vessel is not due until tomorrow and that failure to reach her by wireless probably does not in- dicate any serious trouble, but is probably the result of wireless diffi- culty on the Callao.
