Labor Prospects
Bright for Rest
Winter. Survey SAYS

Washington, Dec. 25-The employ
mcnt situation is encouraging and
prospects are bright for the re-
mainder Of the winter, according to
a survey just completed by the en-
ployment service Of the department
Of labor. Nearly all states reported
a condition much better than at this
time last year, and the situation was
described as fair to good in most Sec
tions.
States affected by seasonal sus-
pension of logging operations or
farm work, and those where trans
portation is hampered by strikes and
car shortages, were the only ones re-
porting unfavorably, and in all OF
them improvement was expected soon
after the first of the year.
Building operations throughout the
country were reported holding a pace
almost unprecedented, only few
states in the north showing q slow
ing up because of the weather.
The manufacturing sta.es, almost
without exception, reported short
ages of skilled mechanics. Textile
mills were running full blast and
needed labor. The automobile in
dustry also was running 100 per
cent. but the labor supply about
equalled the demand. The steel in
dustry showed general expansion
with a demand for all kinds of labor
and the call for metal workers gen.
elalIy exceeded the supply.

Leave France and
Italy out Naval Pact if
Necessary, Jap's Slant

Toxic, Dec. 20. (By n. P.)-lf
France and Italy fail to ratify the
Washington naval treaty, an agree
ment for carrying it out might be
arranged among England, America
and Japan. the peers were told today
by Admiral Ide. speaking in place
of Premier Kato, who is indisposed.
Admiral Ide explained that such
an agreement would be made easier
by the fact that Japan already was
proceeding with preparations for the
naval reorganization. He added that
as long as America did not alter her
progress for auxiliary ships Japan
would pursue her revised scheme an
nounced last summer, maintaining
a Sip ratio of six to Americas ten.
Questioning as to whether there
was danger that the Japanese navy
would be er-balanced by the
American navy, the admiral replied
that Japan's navy was superior in
the speed of ships and the accommo-
dations of dock yards.
The meeting of the peers was on
the eve of 4 session of the diet
which will begin tomorrow In the
absence of the Prince Regent, who

Paris. Dec. oJ.-(By A. P.)-Pro-

day in the condition of Sarah Bern

the attending physicians this after
noon expressed the belief that she

at least.
1t seemed almost as though that

Berne, Switzerland, Dec. %. (By A.

Reparatons or
Guarantees, Says
| Editorial in TEMPS

Paris, Dec. 25.-F'rance has a right
to reparations from Germany, and in
default of payment she will take
guarantees. This, in brief, sums up
an editorial in today's Temps, deal
ing with yesterdays meeting at the
French foreign office to lay out this
Country's program for the meeting
Of the Allied premicrs on January
..
1T is useless asking her if those
guarantees will be more or less pro-
ductive." the Temps declares. "The
policy hitherto pursued has produced
nothing at all.
Even if we suppose that the
seizure of guarantees produces very
little, which in no way seems to us
inevitable, nobody can deny that
there is infinite distance between
nothing and the smallest positive
quantity. 1t is that infinity which
the French intend TO put between
themselves and bankruptcy"
