CERTAIN LABOR BECOMING SCARCE
 AS GENERAL BUSINESS IMPROVES

Wellesley Hills, Mass June l7.-
 With the news full Of strikes, threat ened strikes and labor unrest, Roger
 w. liahson, statistlcian today issued the following statement regarding gen- eraI industrial situation,
 "l'or some time" said Mr, Babson, business in the east has been reviv- ing, Were Il not for the textile and other strikes in New Hampshire, Mas sachusetts and Rhode Island, business conditions in New England, New York state and Pennsylvania would be very good today During the past year, the Central West has been the weak est spot in the business situation. The abrupt drop in the price Of grains, live stock, and other farm pro- ducts left the agricultural sections Of our country in very bad condition. Ton will remember the Farmers con- ference at Washington and various forms of aid enacted by congress and different state legislatures.
 "The rise in agricultural products, however which occurred a few hi'llAiS hsRt dAibi1l HalD''i hS lnt EbDI conditions of the past few weeks, has made the farmers feel very much better. Reports which l am receiving from correspondents in the west are truly encouraging. This ap- plies not only to the agricultural dis tricts but also to the mining and lumber business. Even the automobile
 industry, which is such factor Ohio and Indiana, is feeling much more encouraged. Of course. the union coal fields are quiet but the non-union fields are more ac- tive each week. The cut in freight rates should help the coal and lum- Der business, The demand for cot ten continues strong and the south is gradually feeling better. This bette~ feeling throughout the west and 'outh is reflected by the improvement
 n the business of the mail order houses. The customers of the mail order houses are largely in the rural districts. This shows that the farm ITS have again begun to buy. This is .ery gratifying and is one of the req 'ons for the continued strong stock market

this summer as l anticipate 1t will the demand for labor will increase, o ~ing to the fact that immigration has been cut off, this will necessarily y cause employers to bid against one another and wages will again go up, for time at leasi Considering a long period of years into the future, the trend of wages may continue downward but temorary nptnrn would not be surprising.
 Business conditions are acting in very peculiar way and is suggestive of turn for the better within the next few weeks. The time Is fast ap- preaching when one-half of the pro- ceedng area of expansion will be off set. When this time comes, If can be truly said that we have turned the corner This does not mean that we are on the home stretch and have seen the worst. There is increased building throughout the country Moreover, this building boom Is only beginning. We may expect. con- cluded Mir.

IRISH REPUBLICANS
 LOSERS IN ELECTION
Indications Are That Many Candidates Were Dispiacetl-Itlll Returns
 By Next Week.

Dublin, June IT. - (By Associated Press. .)-complete returns from yes- terday's parliamentary eections in South Ireland are not expected before next Tuesday night. Meanwhile such inklings of the result as can be gleaned are taken by observers to corroborate the forecast that not withstanding the pact between the Collins and de Valera forces, result ing in the nomination of a panel of agreed upon candidates, the republi- cans will suffer losses.
 The chief indication was furnished by the vote at the national university in Dublin, where the voting papersS were seized by raiders deaded by R. O'Connor Of the irregular republican army, shortly after the conclusion of the voting.
New Britain herald., 1922-06-17

The carrying off of the documents, however had no effect on the result as n decision ns to the candidates elected had been reached before the raiders arrived.
 The announcement showed that Dr Ada English, republican, had been displaced. She was very prominent tn the Dail Eireann in resistance to the treaty, whih Prof McGinnis, who was returned In her stead, was an active supporter of the Anglo-Irish pact,
 It was explained today that the ob- ject of the raiders, representing the dissentient section Of the voters, was to discover how the university cleo tors had voted and whether all the Sim Feiners among them had ob- served the Collins de Valera pact. This was the only constituency cap able of providing this information, as contrary to the rule prevailing else where the university voters sign their names to the voting papers.

Predict Trouble.

London, June 17.-Seyeral news papers print Dublin dispa tches em- phaslzing the extreme hostility of re- publlcans to the draft of the Irish constitution, and predicting trouble. F,amon de Valera, the republican leader, is said to have returned hast fly to Dublin from Connaught to de- eide upon q course Of action. He is described as now busily engaged in preparing a pronouncement.
 The republicans generally denounce the constitution, declaring they never will take the oath it prescribed.
 Rory O'Connors object in seizing the national university polling results yesterday is said to ascertain who vot- ed against the Sim Fein panel candi- date, all the university voting papers heinz signed, so that such scrutiny is easy.

uNEMPLoYMENT DECREASING.

In the past 30 days employment
figures have shown decided and con-
tinued upward trend in all sections of
the country. Today's bulletin from the
presidents conference on unemploy-
ment. based on figures from the Uni
ted States employment service, states
that for every 100 jobs available there
are now $50 applicants. as against 226
In January.
In other words, there was work for
only "A per cent of the seekers three
months ago, there are now jobs for 81
per cent. Based on an estimate OF
100000 jobless, this means employ
ment for 100000 individuals.
In January there were SO appli-
cants placed out OF every 100 For
the first week in April the num-
her has gone up to so.
1T does not seem very much" said
Arthur Woods, chairman of the emer-
gency committee which charted the
figures, but the gain is distinct and
continued. ApriPs first week has i'm
proved on March and is decidedly bet
ter than January, which gives the con-
ference much hope that the unempIoy-
ment situation will continue to bright
en- through the month and after.
A committee is now hard at work
under direction of the conference, with
the idea of alternating future depres-
sions. 1t is making q study Of the
business cycle and seasonal unemploy-
ment. and will report on August 90.

LAuRELs ON THE BROW, OR
BROWSING ON LAUREES?

Said q vigorous, successful business
man, in discussing the general outlook:
This is a time for going out and hus-
thing to win laurels for ones brow; not
for browsing on ones laurels." That is
the keynote progressive men are con-
stant1y striking today. They are hope
full, they are confident, they are reso-
lutte. But they feel that supreme eff
fort must be exercised and maintained.
They are sure business can be secured,
but they are equally sure 1t cannot
be secured by sitting still and waiting
for it to come. The bushes need much
beating before the birds can be bagged.
The main problem now Is not how to
effect economy in production-that al
ready has been attended to; the main
problem Is how to market products,
how to drum up orders, how to attract
new customers, how to expand selling,
distribution and consumption. The
business current Is not yet running
strongly enough to justify and resting
on oars. The concern that contents
itself with resting on oars is certain
to find itself drifting backwards

men lament or exult over worth test
