BUSINESS STILL SOUND.
Has Weathered Storms of Rail
and Coal Strikes and
Still Kept Up.

Washington, Sept. 2.-That Amerl-
can business is inherently sound and
can stand enormous punishment before
going either down or out is clearly
indicated by the manner in which il
has weathered the coal and rail strikes
which have afflicted the counry dur
ing the past summer.
This is pointed out forcibly by the
Federal Reserve Board. after a care
iul survey of the industrial field from
july 10 to August IS The board is
inclined TO marvel at the stamina
manifested in the face OF the diff
cuItles which have been encountered. -
July was the most unfavorablo
month of the whole strike period. the
government has determined. The fun
effect Of strike conditions was not felt
IN June. The coal stocks had begun
TO run low. but the railroads were
operating almost at capacity and the
non-union coal tonnage greatly re.
lieved the situation.
In July, as the Department of Com.
merce has just pointed out. the raj
ana coal strikes hit business hard
Rep rts which have reached the de-
partment from all quarters show ga
recession during that month in com
merclal and industrial activity. which
mad steadily advanced in the previous
four months" regardless of the idle

TIME FOR ALL RADICALISM HAS PASSED
copyrighted: All Rights ssrao.ly R...r.n
BY Roger w. Babson

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Sept. a.
With 90 much talk about Dolshevism
and radicaiism one is led to believe
that the world Is rapidly becoming
socialistic. Certainly such thoughts
are evident when one reads about Rus
STA, Mexico. and certain other coun-
,cies. Roger w. Babeon. however
claims that this Is not true, His exact
statement In an exclusive interview
this week upon this subject Is as fol-
lows:
Socialism, as a party movement, Ia
almost dead, so far as the States are
concerned. 1t has never been at home
here. 1t is exotic. 1t does not 1T United
States conditions and it has no great
hold upon the workers OF this coun-
try. The Socialist leaders know this
better than we do. They are ready now
to combine with other people-work-
cts, farmers, anybody who will go into
the combine. Previously. they have
been unwilling TO hob mob with any
body except those who, were willing
to take the party name and party
pledges. Moreover. there Ia a distinct
tendency on the part OF organized la
Dor TO rid itself OF tho incubus OF So
cialism. The battle has been fought
out as far as tho American Federation
of Labor Is concerned. 1t has been
fought out In the womens garment
industry. II will be fought out wher
ever II is necessary and the conserve-
tives will win.
There remains tho farmer group
the farm bloc. az It is called. This fall
will probably show more OF the re-
suits OF the revolt OF the farmer states
against the conservatism of the pres
ent Administration. This revolt was
inevitable. Our last election was q
post war reaction and the tremendous
Republican majorlties had to come
The net results OF the farmer revolt
however, probably will not justify tn,
enthuaa assn which II has called forth
After senators and congressman have
been elected to represent the farmers
most OF them viii continue to acr
about as senator's and congressman al
ways act, after they get TO be senators
and congressman. The farmers will b,
disappointed. They will turn away
/ from their radicallsm TO other guar
/ tiers.
I'VE have reached tho extreme botl
/ OF radicalism and conservatism. w,
