History is simply repeating itself.
The law of supply and demand de-
termine wages as it determines
prices. II business begins to pick
I'D this summer, as / anticipate II
will, the demand for labor will in

Considering a long period of years

German reparations. If this is so,
it should be distinct impetus to busi-
ness, both by causing Europe to buy
from this country and giving this
country confidence to loan Europe.
Altho no change has taken place in
the Russian situation during the
past week, yet signs even in Russia
are favorable at the moment. For
the first time in many years things
look encouraging in Europe.
"The strike situation in New Eng
land is gradually clearing up. The
strike in Providence is about over,
and production in all mill cities is
gradually increasing. 1t is be-
| lieved that mills will have all the
men they desire after the Fourth of
July. Another factor helping the
mill situation is the fact that many
of the dissatisfied employees are
getting employment elsewhere.
There is considerable demand for
common labor today. Many of the
striking employees. from the textile
and other mills have been able to
get satisfactory wage in connec-
tion with the building and other
trades. Thus there is very little
suffering or hardship in these mill
cities. The stikes may never be Of
ficially declared off. They may be
ended by the mill owners securing
other employees from the country
districts, who have never worked
in the mills, and by the old mill
workers getting positions in other
lines of activity. The strike is de-
veloping largely into swapping of
jobs. So far as the general well
fare of the country is concerned,
this is as satisfactory as to have the
strikers go back. The average
business man is primarily interest
ed in having people employed, and
to business as a whole, it makes lit
tie difference for whom individuals
work.
Il prophesy that the threat
ened railway strike will end by the
men shifting jobs. These men en-
gagged in the maintenance of way,
are largely men who have not been
able to secure positions in trades.
Under present business conditions
the cut is justified, as these men
could not secure elsewhere a wage
equivalent to what the railroads are
now paying them. If, however,
business begins to improve this
summer, the demand for labor in
creases, it is very probable that the
best of these maintenance-of-way
men will get positions in the build
ing and other trades while the rail
roads will import a new lot of men
from the country.
For the past year or two we have
seen in the papers accounts merely
/ of wage cuts. Reductions have run
all the way from 10 per cent to 80
per cent, with an average of 25 per-
cent. l should not be surprised to
see some advances from this time on.
I The Firestone Tire and Rubber Co.
of Akron, Ohio, has already ad-
yanced wages 10 per cent. Other
concerns which are temporarily
short of labor are offering more
money. 1t is, however, interesting
to note that the labor unions were

threatened strikes and labor un-

For some time, said Mr.. Babson
business in the East has been re-

During the past year, the Central
West has been the weakest spot in
the business situation. The abrupt
drop in the price Of grains, live

the agricultural sections of our
country in very bad condition.

however, which occurred few
months ago, accompanied by the

couraging. This applies not only to
the agricultural districts but also
to the mining and lumber business.
Even the automobile industry, which
Is such a factor thruout Ohio and
Indiana, is feeling much more en-
couraged. OF course, che union
