Uptrend at PHILADELPHIA

-
In spite of the cesl and railroad
strikes and the usual midsummer in
fiuenees business here has continued
rather active. and the majority of in
dustries show further gains, saws the
Phiiadelphia Chamber OF Commerce.
Where there has beer decline it can
largely be attributed TO seasonal coadi-
tions. The iron and steel industry has
been affected by the labor situation
and the demand for products in this
line has increased considerably, large
orders having come from many lines
Producers have ditfieulty in meeting
such orders. due TO production aiffs-
culties with which they are confronted
There in shortage of both skilled and
unskilled labor in this line, due in part
to the hot weather and also to the
higher wages paid in the building
trades. In fact. the great boom in con
strucsion has taken laborers from many
Industries. Operations in the iron and
steel industry average abaut 65 per
cent on the basis ef the volume OF
business offered. Building activity is
still expanding Although the con-
struction industry @has drawn labor
from other lines, there is still some
what of shortage here.
Manufacturers of building materials
are enjoying exceptionally good bssi-
ness; for instance, the demand for sew
eral products is SO COED that manu-
faturers are having hard time TO sup
ply it. Sales of building lumber have
enlarged. Business is improving also
for manufacturers of pottery, bricks,
cement, paint and plumbing supplies.
Cement industries are operating to
capacity, also paint, and potteries about
30 per cent, the chamber adds.
In the textile industries there is an
increased demand for worsted cloth
and silk goods. Both of the above have
been inactive in recent months. De-
mand for hosiery has fallen off This
is seasonal condition. The demand
for cotton gods, woolen and worsted
yarns and for wool cloth is light. An
Improvement has been shown lately in
the underwear industry.
The carpet and rug manufacturers
are continuing to receive large vol
ume of orders, and many have suffi-
cient business on hand 10 carry them
to capacity during the remainder of
the producing season. Linoleum is in
about the same condition. In the tex
tile industry labor shortages are felt
here and there.
In the shoe industry improvement is
shown. Operations have increased to
about 65 per cent of capacity. As a
result there has been betterment in
the leather business. Leather prices
are advancing. The industry shows
about 20 per cent capacity, Hide and
| skin markets are aiso improving The

have suffered a loss in man power
whlcn must very seriously curtail
fheir future efforts. On the other side
oil the account, however, we have ia
consider how great were the disroy-
cries in organization and production
which enabled the chief nations of the
world, at time when the flower OF
their manhood was engaged in mutual
slaughter on the battlefelds. to s,n-
ply, equip and feed them as armies
mad never been equipped and fed be-
lore, and at the same time in certain
countries actually to achieve a def
mite improvement in the peneral
standard Of wellbeing
These things could be done when the
hatlons were induced by the instinct
OF self-preservation to make really
unprecedented effort in the fields OF
production. 1t lis by no means certain
tnat even the war effort Represented d
the bese that could have been done bv
mankind on the continent of Eurone
under the strain OF this crisis. In
England, for instance, there are plenty
OF critics of the working man who saw
that even under the stress Of war slim
ulus they never worked quite as well
as they might have, and members Of
the working class can certainly. when
this criticism is put before them, noiut
very effectively to reasons provided by
the action of some of their employers
IN doing no more for the state than
seif-interest required, which justified
the workers in hesitating to oyerstrain
themselves.

Essentials to Recovery

OF the essentials to recovery lists
have been made and received with ap-
plause at the conferences held at
Brussels, Genoa and elsewhere, where
the governments have pronounced or
accepted irreproaehable platitudes on
the subjects of financial virtue and
have then proceeded to commit most of
the sins in the financial calendar.
Everybody knows now that nations
have got to balance their budgets,
leave of the use of the printing press
clear away all barriers 60 the inter
change OF goods and services between
the nations and to stimulate the how
of capital from one nation to another
and so on and SO forth; and everybody
knows that these things are consistent
.ly left out of the practical politics of
most countries in Europe. One can
only hope that the stern necessities Of
the case will prevail for the salvation
of Europe before it is too late. Given
this recovery, that of Great Britain
should certainly be at least as rapid as
that OF any other people in this
hemisphere. Before the war England
WIS fat ard overfed by the prosperity
of previous century, largely won be-
fore her pre-eminence was threatened
by serious Continental rivalry. Her
productive output was, as shown by the
war, very much less than it might have
been, very much less, as ] believe,
than it would have been, when in the
course of few more years Continental
rivalry had begun to cut into English
profits SO seriously that real effort
would have been made, war or no war.
As it is, the results of the war have
taught England lessons in organiza-
tion which will stand her in good
stead when the day of recovery dawns,
and have also taught the elementary
bat important Lesson that England has
to work at least as hard as anybody
else for her living il she is to secure
it. IL this lesson has been grasped,
as l believe it has, both by the work
ing class and the organizing class,
there is no reason to fear for her
power of recuperation if once the
politicians will give half a chance to
her and her European customers.

cles on cttgremt pressing problems of Eat-

Europe's Failure

These platitudes being granted there
is little reason to be surprised at the
ifaIure of Europe to achieve recovery
rs son as peace was officially estab-
iIshed by the Armistice Of 1918, for
though peace was officially established
the war spirit has ever since then been
constantly active and the chickering's
between the late beiligerents and the
late allies have produced a state of
affairs in which economic demoraliation
has made steady progress towards
chaos in great part Of the Continent.
The question of reparations has, of
course, been the most serious bone of
contention, and it is evident that until
this question is settled on a reason
able and businesslike basis there is no
hope for Europes recovery
Until short time ago there seemed
to be god reason for hope that this
settlement might be arrived at. The

The Store of Skill

Economic miracles were certainly
wrought during the war and as has
been shown it may have been possible
for still more miraculous miracles to
have been performed. If these things
are so, in spite of all the loss and ey-
haustion of the war there should
surely be no reason to question the

political uncertainties off its chest.
