NAV Cause Reaction.

New Britain manufacturers who
were Interviewed today on the pres
ent business situation and prospects
for the Immediate future were con-
servaiiYely optimistic Many of them
know OF no reason why business
should not be good unless prices ad-
vance TO such point that consumer
demand will be halted, Statements
by those who could be reached follow:
j.. Allen Moore.
j.. Allen Moore. chairman OF the
board of directors OF the Stanley
Works, said; I'VE see no weakness In
the next Few months. The Stanley
Works is running full time. or nearly
full time. In all plants. Operation is
difficult owing 10 the inability of the
railroads TO operate satisfactorily. /
believe this will continue until the
railroads are much more free from
government and other restricting con-
troll This Is, perhaps the greatest
weakness In the situation for IL results /,
IN scarcity OF goods for the consumer.
There is temptation all along the
line to raise prices, wages and every
thing else. The result might be a re-
action Just as we had at the end of !
1920. II is good time for manu-
facturers and men to keep their heads
and remember that conditions in 1921
were brought about by most every
one getting a little or very crazy.
Prices are of course firm and sales 4
about normal. Business should be /,
good for few months anyway. How |,
long it will remain so depends in a
large degree on the confidence of the
public in the values they are purclas- (:
ing. II present prices. wages and liv- /.
ing costs can be maintained, | would .
not be surprised to see excellent busi- !
ness and steady operation continue
throughout the year"
r.. Fl. Cooper.
r. II. Cooper, president of the Faf-
mir Bearing Co., said. There is every
indication of continued activity
through the present year. We are
running to capacity and finding u
ready demand for our products. es-
pecially in the field OF hanger box and
industrial bearings which is COM
paratively new field for us
The greatest danger in the situa-
ton is the possibility of advancing
costs which viii mean advancing
prices and will necessarily limit the
demand. Up to the present time the
automobile makers, particularly, have
exercised a sound policy in the matter
of prices and are consequently in
strong position.
If prices of all material can be
somewhere near the present
level, there is no reason to fear a
of active business for
some time to come
