BETTER LABOR TREND
Less Unemployment and Rise in
Wages Noted in Review
of September.

: Improvement in the labor situation
throughout the country both through
a reduction in unemployment and
distinct upward tendency shown by
wages was the chief economic de-
velopment during September. accord
ing to the monthly survey Of business
conditions issued by the Federal Re-
serra Board.
"The volume Of employment was in
creased during September" the board
said, "in consequence of the return
to work of several hundred thousand
coal miners. railroad shopmen and
textile workers. The period from
August Is to September Is. moreover
contained by far the largest number
Of wage increases reported in any
month since the decline of business
activity in 1920. The most important
Increases occurred at copper mines
steel mills, cotton mills and In the
building industry. Unskilled or semi
skilled workers received most Of
these advances"
Tremendous expansion in the min
ing industry during September,
due to the settlement Of the coal
strikes, was noted by the board, while
manufacturing was reported as being
maintained at high levels and finan-
cial conditions continued to be sound.
The general crop prospects were de-
clared to be somewhat less encour-
aging than a month ago, but expan-
sion of both the wholesale and retail
trade was observed with prices re-
naming constant.

TOday's Suggestion.
Here Is today's suggestion from the
fre-prevention committee:
Before starting the fires for the
winter it is important that careful
attention be given to the chimneys
and f1ues. for if they are neglected
the entire home may be reduced to a
few charred embers merely because
of such lack of care. During the
five years ending 1920 property val
ued in excess of S12. 900 was dis
troyed annually as the result of de-
larger part of this loss could have
been prevented if an inspection had
been made, SCOT cleaned out. and tffe

Whoever Wins, the Public Loses.

The issues of the coal strike, both
in the anthracite and the bituminous
districts, are so far, from clear that
it will be hard to decide, even when
it is all over, whether anybody won
or not, or whether there was any
thing to win.
The bituminous miners have voted
to strike for renewal of the existing
wage scale; they have also agreed
to meet the operators to discuss the
matter. The operators, on the other
hand, have refused to meet represent
atives of the miners. They insist on
a strike. No doubt the men need all
the wages they are receiving, yet the
soft-coal industry is so much over
manned, overcapitalized and override
veloped that there are not wages and
profits enough to go around.
Anthracite production is not over
manned or mismanaged. 1t is one of
the most profitable industries in the
country and could almost certainly
afford to pay a wage increase. But
the anthracite miners are fairly we'll
paid already. Though they are strik-
ing technically for more money, what
they really wanted was a vacation,
and the operators were quite willing
to grant it in the hope of propping
their summer market.
If the bituminous operators win,
then, it will mean that the union is
broken and the miners are to work
for less than a living wage. If the
anthracite operators win, it will
mean only that the vacation is over.
If the bituminous miners win, it
will mean that many union mines
will have to go out of business be-
cause of the impossibility of COM
peting with the non-union fields-a
healthy defation but accompanied by
lack of jobs. If the anthracite
miners win, it will mean a raise in
wages which is probably unneces-
sary. And in any case the public
will lose.-New York World.

be taken until the river has fallen
below danger line on levees. The
c. M. & G. Railroad, operating be-
tween Hickman and Dyersburg, is
now running one train day into and
out of Hickman, instead of four

flooded at Mission, Tenn, where the
water has backed up through the
