Recoueru of Business

INDUSTRIAL STABILITY has been more nearly
L attained in the past thirty days than at any
time since the world war. Some industries have
shown moderate gains, in others conditions have
altered but little and in a few seasonal dulness has
occurred. The unfavorable factors in the situation
are the continued deadlock in the coal strike and
in the textile mills of New England and threats of
strikes by those classes of railroad LABOR affected
by recent decisions of the United States railroad
labor board.
Iron and steel output for May showed further
gains. and the untitled orders of the United States
Steel corporation have increased. Automobile pro
duction during May established new high records
The rubber manufacturing industry is sharing in
the activity in automobile manufacturing. Condi-
tons in the hide market are not yet satisfactory
but stocks are not large and both tanners and
manufacturing consumers of leather feel reason
ably sure that prices of hides and skins Will not
20 lower. Stocks of leather are heavy but the
market is Becoming more active for all classes. In
the shoe industry there is evidence of a slowly i'm
proving demand which is being felt not onlf IN the
middle west but in New England, where heretofore
the industry has been especially depressed.
In the textile and related industries, the foremost
problem is whether the higher prices resulting
from rising costs of raw materials can be passed
on to the consumer. The wool manufacture is OPP
Grating nearly at capacity. The cotton textile in
dustry in the south is active but strike conditions
continue to prevail in New England. There is evil
dence of a slightly improved demand for broad silks
but taking the country as a whole, this division OF
the silk industry is probably at little more than
so per cent of capacity
The cement, lumber and brick industries have

cause of the large volume of building and %construc-
ton under way throughout the country. The dis
tribution of agricultural implements continues to
he fairly active, although the industry is still at
fected by the curtailed purchasing power of the
farmer. The June estimate is for a wheat crop
somewhat larger than the average of the five pre-
ceding years. This offers promise of an improve
ment in conditions in those areas where wheat is
the leading crop. Large yields of oats, barley and
rye and a heavy hay crop are also forecast and pas
lures are excellent Weather conditions for corn
and cotton have not been satisfactory thus far, and
both are late
Conditions in the retail dry goods trade vary con-
siderably in different parts of the country. In some
of the strike areas, business has fallen off heavily.
AS yet the improved outlook in agriculture is not
reflected in any marked increase in buying, agricul-
tural betterment thus far being primarily one of
sentiment. On the other hand, a definite improve
ment is reported in those cities where unemploy-
ment is being reduced and %pay-rolls increased.
Wholesale distribution in many lines was not sat
isfactory during May, but is now beginning to i'm
prove.

THE ATMOSPHERE is sill filled with discussion
L and threat in railroad circles respecting the de
cisions made during the past month affecting rail
road employment.
These are a horizontal cut of 10 per cent in
freight rates, a reduction of 534 per cent of the
fair return" basis for purposes of fixing rates,
and a series of wage reductions affecting 500, 900
men The effect of the cut in freight rates can not
now be gagged, and the reduction in the "fair re
turn basis is not likely TO have any immediate
effect, bS the action of the Interstate Commerce
Commission is regarded in some quarters as indi-
eating a continuation of its policy, which has mil
itated against securing adequate capital. Wages
constitute the most important phase of the problem
of rates. The reductions ordered by the United
States railroad labor board are estimated at 800,
100000 annually and have caused much criticism
by railroad labor as being too drastic. They have
caused equal criticism by railroad officials as being
insufficient in relation to the rate cut.
The economic unity of the United States and its
future development are dependent on adequate
railroad transportation and such transportation
must ultimately pay its way, whether by freight
rates or by taxation. Experiments in govern
mental ownership, operation and control through
out the world during recent years have proved be-
yond question that private operation, with all its
faults, is more economical and efficient than pub
lie operation and control. Ultimately railroad
rates will have to be fixed at a point which will
render the roads self-supporting and make railroad
securities sufficiently attractive to provide capital
for necessary extensions and satisfactory mainten
ance.
The most perpfexing problem in connection with
transportation is the determination of rates which
Will be fair and productive. From the very nature
of the case rate-fixing is always sure to be some
what arbitrary delicate adjustment being required
to guard against depriving the roads of freight by
rates too high, and against financial disaster
through rates too low. The problems involved are
so complicated that the only reasonable line OF
action on the part both of the railroads and of the
railroad workers seems TO be to accept in good faith
the decisions as rendered in order that they may be
tested by time.

Busted The Fiibusier

THE n NAN flibuster conducted by Repre-
Il sentative Voight to force consideration of his
resolution to investigate the appointment of post

House Leader Mondell has stood for the show as

Speaking of Logic

SWHEN Wayne B. Wheeler general counsel Of

whole bootleg, rum running law defying army
is concentrating for an attack upon the ~constitu-
ton by means of a beer and wine amendment. he
says what is not quite logical" complains the Idaho
Statesman.
"The bootlegger and rum runner are strong for
prohibition. They thrive on it The man who de-
flies the law has little thought for what statutes
and constitutions say; too little, certainly. to make
any effort or spend any money to have either
changed.
"There is bound to be a new effort made to ad-
just the prohibition laws and the issue NAV well
enought be one of law and order, as Mr.. Wheeler
says; but to the casual bystander who prefers not to
take sides it will appear that Mr.. Wheeler weakens
his case by ~resorting to the old political dodge of
maligning the opposition.

er hopes TO stir up public sentiment against them.
And he might, too, were it not for the fact that
unfortunately he applies to them the names of the
people who are most happy to let prohibition con-
tinue.
"Voters are often convinced by a politician who
usese precious little logic, but they do demand a
little more than Wheeler has given"

With all our strength and mind.
And let our Utmost hearts aye be,
To their misfortunes kind.

That was robbed and LETT half dead

And cuts upon his head.
And how the Priest and Lcvite
Passed him by unheeded there,
And pitied not his suffering,

Then came the Good Samaritan,
The last though not the least,
Who tenderly raised him up
And placed him On his beast.
And took hi INTO the tavern.
And took him to the tavern.

Until he did get well.
