Production Volume Generally
Increases-lron and Steel
Yield Especially Firm.
BY Universal Service.

"A continued and noteworthy in.
crease in the physical volume OF pro-
duction" was the feature Of economic
developments during June. according
to the monthly review by the Federal
Trade Commission yesterday. The
month also was marked by con-
tinuance of the advance in wholesale
prices, the review states, adding:
AN increase OF production is
noted in highly finished lines OF
manufacture, as well as in basic
Industries. The advance has been
especially marked in iron and steel,
and industries which are large con.
sumers of iron and steel products.
such as automobiles. foundries,
machine shops. etc.
Decided improvement in tanning,
and moderate Improvement in the
output of boots and shoes are noted.
Wholesale groceries and hardware
show a very pronounced advance
over April, and compare favorabIy
with the sales Of a year ago. The
retail trade for the first time in
many months is in excess Of that of
d year dBS.
General employment conditions
also have taken a turn for the better,
the review states, continuing:
in some lines a scarcity Of labor
IL now reported, as for example in
the steel and building trades. De-
mand for agricultural labor also con-
tinues upward"
or the crop situation the review
states:
Most staple crops have shown i'm
provement during the past month
and the approach Of midsummer
finds the farming community as a
whole anticipating fully average
yields! In some parts Of the country
unfavorable weather had delayed or
impaired prospects, but the general
situation IL favorable.
Latest figures show small
shrinkage in the volume OF exports,
while imports have increased mater.
tally, the report ends.

The nations freight bill will be re-
duced app pproximately $25O,ooO, 900 a
year under new rates which went
into effect at midnight. experts esti-
mated today. At the same time
wage reductions amounting to $134,-
000, 900 per annum were put into ef-
feet by decisions OF the Railroad
Labor Board.
The new freight rates recently or
dered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission following extended hear
ings make average cuts OF about s
per cent. 1t was explained by ex-
perts of the Interstate Commerce
Commission that total reductions
from the increased rates granted the
railroads by the commission on Au-
gust 26. 1920, have amounted 10
about IL per cent. The reductions
put into effect prior to the latest
order Of the commission amount TO

ally, and of this amount 5000 900 900
has already been saved through re-
ductions previously ordered.
In ordering the new reductions in
rates the commission pointed out in
itS decision that many rate readjust.
rnents, resulting in reductions, have
been made since the increase Of 1890.
Some affected a substantial volume
OF traffic, such as export grain, btu
m!nous coal to Lake Erie ports for
the Northwest, sand and gravel N
Eastern territory. ore. lumber. and
petroleum. and its products.
While the railroads have contended
that reduction in rates will not re-
store normal traffic, the belief is
general that the new rates. effective
today. will hasten business recoN cry
and result in increased tonnage.

WORLD LINES, IS
FRANKLIN VIEW
Head Of international Conn.,
pany Says U. s. Should
Keep Control.
BY EDWIN CLAPP.

NE" 1oRh, July l.-f. a. ..
Franklin. president OF the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Company,
in an interview has given his views
on the prospects of an American
merchant marine.
He says we need regular liner serv-
ices all over the world, and that
we need them under the American
flag so that their operation will not
be interrupted by causes beyond our
control.
For example, before our entrance
into the European war the Ameri-
can line to Liverpool was the only
regular service TO England, the Brit
ish ships on that route being drawn
off in increasing numbers Tor war
work
Was Improbable Then.
That one American service Kept a
route open for our passengers, Tecuri-
ties. documents. mails and fast
freights into British trade. All the
American line passenger steamers
were constructed as a result Of the
1891 mail subsidy law.
The International Mercantile Ma.
rine Company. he points out. is an
American corporation-93h per cent
of its stock is owned in this country.
Its British tonnage was acquired at
a time when II was impossible-as II
is today-to operate profitably under
the American flag.
At the close OF the war only the
Intervention and objection of the
Government prevented the 1nterna-
tional Mercantile Marine CoEIpanv
from selling it's entire British fleet
to a British syndicate and putting
the proceeds into American vessels.
The company possesses a British
tonnage today only because the
President and his advisers prevented
its sale when II could have been sold
AT the present time the 1nternG-
tional Mercantile Marine Company
operates the largest American feet
on the high seas-12S, 900 tons in Al.
1t has countrywide and worldwide
traffic and operation organizations
ca pable OF absorbing a far larger
American tonnage than it now pos
sesses.
Has Done It's Share.
1t Is Mr.. Franklin's hope that, un-
der this subsidy legislation. condi.
tions will so shape themselves that
his company can expand it's holdings
Of American ships.
He says that any statement that
the Information Mercantile Marine
Company is controlled by influences
hostile to the development OF the
American merchant marine Is un.
true. 1t has borne its full share Of
developing the merchant marine un-
der the difficult condItions IN the
past and hopes to do its share in the
better conditions that seem to lie

Today the American Commission

ury. All members, Secretary Mel.

ready sent to the commission by
some of the nations also was con.
sidered. The commission continued
its previous discussion and study
Of the basis upon which negotiations
should be undertaken with repre-.
sentatives OF the debtor countries.
The commission has adopted the
policy of secrecy as to the settle.
ment proposals and the progress Of
negotiations until matters reach the
point of definite agreement. It can
be stated, however, that the com.
mission is inclined to assume an
attitude Of extreme leniency to the
debtor countries.
In the case OF the French, II is
expected they will ask and be
granted an extension OF probably
two years before any payment shall
be called for. because Of the unset.
tied economic condition in which
that country finds itself at this
time.
