Addressing tho Rivertor Chronicle,
former Governor Fenimore Chatterton
pays very high compliment to l. c.

The Industrial Situation

ASIDE from unfortunate conditions arising from
the railroad strike TIE general industrial sit
nation his improved until the amount of unemploy-
ment during the past month has been compare
lively small. The iron and steel industry has been
operating at above 20 per cent of nominal capacity,
but this has meant practically full employment for
available labor. ReDorts from the southern iron
lcenters have told of the recruiting of negro labor by
agents from the north. The cement industry has
been going full speed. sustained by the large
amount of highway building under way and the
latter of itself has called for a large supply of IA
Der. The amount of house-building in progress has
kept the building trades and building material
trades we'll employed. The lumber industry on the
Pacific coast IS above normal, and the Southern
associations report is about formal. In Detroit
the labor situation in the last three months has ap-
preached conditions at the height of the boom. The
output of automobiles and trucks in May made it
the banner month for the industry. It is interesting
I" note that the great bulk of the automobile bust
is in the cheap and moderate-priced cars. Cars
selling at $1,000 and upwards will not aggregate
more than 3 per cent of the total.
Wage advances have taken place in numerous
instances, one of the most noteworthy being the
advance in the iron industry from $3.50 to 5000
per ton for pudding. The cases are sufficiently
numerous to demonstrate that wage-earners as a
help industry back into activity. The interests of
wage-earners are served by getting industry busy.
The outward movement of migration during the
past year, and the restrictions upon immigration
have had influence upon the labor situation.

Nation Not Disturbed

OFFICIAL Washington is not especially Der.
" turbed over the recent proposals to curb the
power Of The supreme court by amending the consti.
tuition SO that congressional reenactment of legis.
lation termed unconstitutional by the supreme
court would suffice to make the alleged unconsti.
tutiona1ity constitutional.
The general comment among legislative leaders is
that it would be impossible to get three fourths of
the states to agree so radically to alter the form of
government which has lasted so we'll, and under
which this country has so decidedly prospered.
Neither are the various amendments which the
American Federation of Labor is understood to ia.
vor considered as probable, especially that one
which proposed am "easier method than the pres.
ent of changing the constitution. 1t is pointed ONT
that the very difficulty of changing the ~constitu
tion is one of the greatest safeguards of American
liberties; were it as easy 10 alter the Fundamental
law of the land as it is to pass an appropriation
bill, passion. fanaticism, a well organized minority
any special interest might tamper with the consti
tuition as it pleased.
1t is not commended by the most erudite consti
tutional lawyers in congress that the organic act
which makes the United States a country is ner

that it has lacked something of perfection. RDt
neither is it generally considered that every amend
ment has been truly beneficial. That more fro
quent and less well-eonsidered alterations wonlf

perhaps, by the very radical element in congress
which has been, and probably never will be. repre
sentative OF truly American standpoints.
