President Harding and the cabinet

Farm Products Moving.
Agricultural products especially
were reported to be moving from
America to Europe in large volumes,
the paralysis of Russia developing a
large demand in Europe for such sup
ply.
The demand for other commercial
supplies was also believed to be on
the increase in Europe. and the fig
ures presented by Secretary Hoover
revealing the fact that both import
and export American trade was in
creasing were taken as material evil

The gold situation, it was explained.

there was growing prospect that

Secretary of Labor Says Increased
Appropriation Will Assure
Better Work.

Enlargement of the Appropriation
for the conciliation service of the La
Dor Department for the fiscal year
1924. as agreed upon by both the SEN
ate and House, will greatly enhance
the work of the service. Secretary OF
Labor Davis said today.
While the increase in the appro-
priation for 1924 amounts to bur So
900. bringing the total appropriation
up to 100000. the conciliatiol serN-
ice will be enabled by this increase to
follow up more closely pending or
threatened industrial disputes which
Nigh lead to strikes Of national
nature. Mr.. Davis added The most
important result of the increase, Mr..
Davis said. will be that of maintain
ing highly trained technical men in
the basic industries Of the nation to
conciliate or settle threatened indus
trial controversies which might lead
10 larger troubles at later date.
heTncreaSe Will not permit of the
establishment of the "keymen-in-ln-
dustry" plan of the Labor Secretary.
broached by Mr.. Davis some months
ago in which he suggested that en-
ployment of capable conciliators in
the fifteen basic industries of the
country would prevent many small
disputes ever reaching the strike
stage.
Secretary Davis believes. however.
that with the appropriation of
$500. 900 for the conciliation service
that branch of the government will
be enabled to follow more closely
small riffs in the basic industrial ma
chinery which might spread and be-
come national calamities. Representa-
tives of men threatening to go on
strike, or who are in disagreement
with their employers. can be brought
around the council table by the In
crea sed appropriation. and thus major
Industrial conflicts be averted.

autonomous state, perhaps under the
supervision of the league of nations.

the proposition for an Armenian

aside for them"
