Business Optimism Shaken by Coal
and Railroad Strikes

and Railroad Strikes
During the past week, coal and rail
road strikes have begun to impose an
approciable check on industrial activ-
ity. \ part OF the general slackncss
OF activity might be explained on the
basis of midsummer seasons; it IS
quite clear, however, that the strikes
are becoming serious factors in bust
ness affairs But the feeling is gen
cral that these conditions can hardly
continue in the face OF demand for
coal and transportation facilities, and
the present temporary depression will
be effectively bridgcd over until con-.
ditlons will have righted themselves
and again become normal.

displayed here and there, retail trade
