PRESIDENT WARNS
TARIFF DELAY MAY
BLOCK PROSPERITY
Boom in Business Just
Around Corner, Is
Harding's Belief.
SEES GOOD SIGNS
Reports Indicate Shortage of
Labor Already in Some
Localities.

The return of prosperity in all
lines of industry in the United
states is just around the corner
and certain to arrive unless the
country runs into some cross-cur-
rents.
This Is the opinion of President
harding who yesterday disclosed In
lnquirers the. basis for the state
ment he made Thursday.
The reawakening. particularly in
industry. the President declares. is
evident from reports he has re-
celVed. and even in agriculture there
has been great Improvement. but
he earnestly hopes the tide of i'm
provement will not run into anv
blockades. In his opinion, a failure
by Congress to pass the pending
tariff bill might slow up the parade
10 prosperity. immeasurably-
Shortage of Labor Seen.
The President did not wish to
stress the danger that might lurk
In failure to pass the tariff bill,
but pointed to the signs of the
times to prove his contention that
business at last is we'll on the way
to normalcy.
Reports from many localities. the
President told recent callers, indi-
cate there already is a shortage of
labor. In many of the steel mills
particularly mills where an eight
hour day has been in force. men
have quit work when opportunity
presented for longer holirs of labor
and the indications are that within
ninety days there will be a distress
ing shortage of common labor.
Looking for Workers.
In the Industrial centers of Ohio,
the President has learned. all regis
tration for aid to the workers has
been abandoned and agents are
looking for men. In Detroit. the
automobile center, the same cond :
ton prevails Chicago. the Presi-
dent has been informed, has COM
pletely turned toward business
awakening. From nearly every Sec
tion. the turn has come and COM
plete restoration of business is sure
to arrive unless something unfore-
seen happens to halt il.
Reports concerning agriculture,
according to- the President. are
highly gratifying in many localities.
The greatest complaint concerns the
stock raising branch of agriculture.
