GOVERNMENT REPORTS PROVE
THAT CONDITION THROUGH
OUT U. s. is IMPROVING.
COLORADO CITIES GAIN
SIxTY-FIvE INDUSTRIAL CEN,
TIERS GIVE OUT FIGURES;
UNEMPLOYED LESS.
Western Newspaper Union News ser,ics.)

Washington.=The economic pendu-
lum is swinging upward. Business in
most every section of the country is
picking up and there is every indica-
ton of permanent Improvement. Con-
ditions in Colorado, according to gov
eminent reports, are showing Il steady,
certain, improvement, though the
greatest improvement is expected in
the mountain sections with the coming
Of spring. The industrial centers of
the East and central states are show
ing a marked revival.
The upward trend began with the
new year. While a gain was made in
January, the improvement for Febru-
airy was far more notable. Weather
permitting, the present month prom
ises to begin an era of greatest activ-
ity. While an industrial revival is I'M
der way, spring is needed to start
building and road construction. The
feeling prevails that a definite start
has been made toward greatly i'm
proved business conditions.
The Department of Labor has made
public its industrial survey for Febru-
airy. The survey is based on actual
figures taken from the larger indus
trial pay rolls of the country, estimates
and guess work being thus eliminated.
The statistics on which its compu-
tations are based are gathered each
month by the departments special
agents in sixty-five principal industrial
centers and transmitted by telegraph.
In all, LAPS firms, each usually en-
ploying more than 500 workers, or a
total of 100000 are comprised in the
survey. On Feb. % these 1,42S firms
had 1894 more employees on their pay
rolls than they carried Jan. 81.
The revival that has started in the
industrial East is expected to spread
to the West within another month.
Indeed, Denver reports a gain in en-
ployment for February of about 3 per
cent over January, while Pueblo has
a 10 per cent increase. From all
Colorado cities come reports that ac-
tivity in all lines is expected with the
passing of winter. A of
some of the reports from Colorado fol-
lows:
Pueblo-Employing is continuing
gradually to gain. A 10 per cent in
ea of employment is noted. Build
ing construction is expected on a large
scale after April 1. There is still un
employment. but prospects are encour-
aging.
Denver-Some Improvement In EN-
ployment noted. Meat packing indus
tries operating upon nearly normal
basis, with about 10 per cent increase
in employees since January. Building
shows slight Improvement, with pros
poets of more marked Improvement.
Employment in automobile manufac-
tured accessory products is steady.
Railroad shops show no improvement.
Colorado Springs-Building opera
tions and ranch work will begin with
in thirty days. Outlook hopeful.
Misunderstanding program, with
better weather, will be launched.

SPECIAL SESSION
MAY BE CANCELLED
President May Alter Plan to
Convene Congress Last of
This Month.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. - Pres
Harding. it was said authoritatively
has not definitely made up
his mind to call congress back to
work along about Nov. 20. His final
decision may be Influenced some
what by the outcome OF the cleo
tons.
Interest in ship-subsidy legislation
has not manifested Itself 10 any
great extent in any section of the
country, it Is asserted. Generally
speaking. the subject has been kept
out Of the campaign. Political speak
ers who sought 10 Introduce It found
that the people did not care to hear
Il discussed. The chief purpose in
bringing congress back in special
session would be 10 get a start on
subsidy legislation.
It is generally believed here that
the Republican leaders IN the two
houses OF congress viii advise the
president soon that subsidy legisla-
ton cannot be enacted before March
next, when the 67th congress Will
expire II the president can be con-
WINGED OF this fact, his advisers say,
he probably Will not issue a call for
congress TO assemble.
The only other excuse for calling
a special session would be 20 expe-
dite the appropriation bills. The
house committee on appropriations
expects 10 get down 70 work the
last OF this week and Il plans 20 have
the various appropriation bills ready
for presentation on the opening day
OF the regular session, the first
Monday in December. Not much
would be gained so far as the appro-
priations are concerned by calling
special session.
There will be a White House con-
ference on the legislative situation
as soon as possible after the com
plete election returns are IN. The
president hopes TO hold this confer
ence within a week.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. s.-(By A
P)-Three features tonight stand
out above all else in the Indiana
statewide election Of yesterday
They are:
First-The victory Of Samuel NJ
Ralston, Democrat, over Albert J.
Beveridge. Republican. in the face
OF Republican victories generally
throughout the state.
Second-The SCATTERING Of the
solid Republican representation in
the national house Of representa-
tives from the 10 congressional dis
tricts. with three Democrats assured
victories
Third-The continued majority Of
the Republican party in both
branches OF the state legislature.
Former Gov. Ralston's lead over
former Sen. Beveridge continued TO
mount slowly as the results from the
rural districts were gathered. The
unofficial vote on the United States
senatorial race for 3.292 precincts
out OF 1896 IN Indiana gave Ralston
sal. O62 and Beverage 506.45 VIII
liam Henry, Socialist, was running a
poor third. his total for 3.195 pre-
cincts being s.s24.
Interest IN the election tonight
centered on the congressional race
in the fourth district where John s.
Benham. Republican incumbent, and
Harry d. Garfield, Democrat, are
running the closest race OF the entire
election in Indiana. Garfield was
leading his opponent at the last Of
fetal tabulation when 251 OF the 273
precincts had reported. The count
at that time was. Garfield 39.s63;
Benham, 3s,521.
Oliver Running Behind.
The elimination OF Miss Esther
O'Keefe os Plymouth. Democratic
candidate for congress in the 18th
district, appeared certain. according
70 latest reports. Opposing the first
woman Indiana has ever nominated
as a party's choice for congress
Rep. Andrew ]. Hickey's hold on the
farmer vote was strong enough TO
carry him 60 victory.
