INDUSTRIAL BOOM IN SIGHT;
ALL LABOR SOON EMPLOYED
BY Wells Dickey Company

Reports from various commercial
agencies indicate that the long expect
ed industrial boom is in sight and that
if progress continues at its present
rate the unemployment problem is
likely TO be entirely solved within the
next SO days. While the upward trend
has been noticeable since January l,
it has never been so marked as during
May. Material advances were regis
tered in practically every industrial
line with basic commodities of all kinds
showing the most favorable situation.
There is already a shortage of labor
in some of the agricultural sections
and in a few of the industrial areas.
The present problem apparently is to
secure a more equal distribution of
labor, j. e.. to get the laborer and the
work together. From every section
of the country come reports OF pro
nounced activity in the building trades.
and a number of districts state that
carpenters and other artisans are at
a premium.
The greatest danger which might
arise with a substantial increase in in
dustrial activity is the possibility of
a shortage of coal. At the present
time there seems to be little evidence
of any break in the ranks of the strik-
ing miners in the bituminous fields,
and. while the non-union fields may
produce as much as 100000 tons
weekly, this will not be at all sufficient
to meet the requirements if industry
continues to advance at the rate indi-
Gated during recent months. There is
coal enough in sight to carry industry
well through the month of June, and it
is hoped that by that time the govern
will come forward with some sort
of proposal for a strike settlement. but
as yet no suggestion to that end has
been made. The governmental activity
up to this time has been confined large
ly to preventing "skyrocketing" of
by the non-union operators and
as a result of the conference of these

Wheat Market Adjustment
The wheat market is in a very diff

week touched the lowest since mid
winter. They completed a loss of full
ly three quarters Of the entire rise
since January. This decline was the

to two months ago. The government

essary, but as the cotton trade is in
danger of placing too much dependence
upon a possible new crop. deficiency so
the grain trade is not unlikely to ex-
aggerate the Importance of the in

While the production Of the United
States and that of Canada, too, pro-
misses to be larger than a year ago.
Argentine and Australia have fallen off
considerably. Meanwhile Russia is en-
tirely out of the question as an ex-
porter and European consumption is
on the increase. Inc evidence all Is
that Europe will need more wheat

ago and because of the falling off in

ask where the money is going to. come
from to pay for the killing of mongoose?
Does not this mean a small additional
money bill? The question of the exter-
mination of mongoose is a big one and
should perhaps be dealt with in a separ-
ate ordinance. | have recently been
reading a pamphlet Oy one OF the Direc-
tors Of the ZoUlogIcal Iarden in London

End Member for Fre6eriksted Country

man. | think it is against public policy
to have in this ordinance punishment tor

punish the law breakers. AS vigilant as
Congress is it has not yet succeeded IN
making a law to prevent people from
buying whisky. The word purchases
in Section Z, line 5, Section 4, line 3 and
Section 6, line 3 should be stricken.
These laws seems very simple until
someone is accused Of breaking it. In
Section 4 it says:
Any person who be weeD January

ANY person convicted of of9nse
against this ordinance shall be liable
to a fine of not less than Frcs. rs and
