The Situation in Industry.

THE INDUSTRIAL situation is good. The gains
Il in employment in the month of November were
greater than in any previous month in the year
1922, and a tendency to higher wages and rising
prices shows that the slack has been taken up. The
CONSUMPTION of cotton by the mills in November
was 577,561 bales, the highest since October, 1917,
and close to the record. The WOODEN and worsted
mills are also running about as close to nominal
CAPACITY as they can get. Prices of raw'cotton and
raw wool are high, and the textile operatives are
taking steps to demand a recession of the only
reduction they have taken from the top wages OF
fbe boom In 1920. That reduction was % IL per
cent, made in December, 1920. These symptoms do
not give assurance Of the stability needed for pros
perity.
Aside from the threat Of initiation, and with
a reservation as to European conditions, the out
look for 1923 is excellent. The principal industries
have all the business in sight; they need TO
make a prosperous year; the only question is

ATTRACTIVE RAILROAD
 FOLDERS ARE ISSUED BY
 THE A. E. COMMISSION

Copies of the first railroad folder, descriptive of the country contiguous to the Government Railroad issued by the Alaskan Engineering Coccission, have been received in Cordova. The folders contain brief descrip- tions of the largest towns along the railroad, attractions for homesteaders, miscellaneous industries, hunting and fishing and attractions for tourists. There is no description of the scenic beauties offered by the railroad, the foreword of the folder stating: | "To write of Alaska and its match less glaciers, It's snowy peaks, and it's unexpected vastness would be merely to repeat the contents of numerous books of travel. These pages, there fore, must content themselves with facts pertinent to the country trav- ersed by this new transportation route-the Peoples Railroad at the Top of the World"
 l SlXteen puOlOBTdpS Ol LOWAS dloH6 the railroad, scenes of the railroad, the Susitna Bridge and Hurricane Gulch Bridge included, glaciers, indus tries and wild game life illustrate the folder. A large part of the folder is devoted to maps of the Territory showing the location of the railroad table of distances, and the route of the railroad, while another part con tains the time tables and general in formation.
 The, cover of the folder is attractive in design and color scheme, showing a train just entering Hurricane Gulct Bridge and Mt. Mckinley looming uI in the background.

MOVIE l

Three in one-actor director, ath. lete-that is Ralph Ince who directed Wet Gold" one of the most unusual photoplays ever filmed. The picture, which was written by J. Ernest Will Hanson, will be shown at the Elm press Theater for two days beginning this evening. Many of its scenes were taken at the bottom of the sea; and the actors appear as real in the sea scenes as in those taken at the race track at Havana, Cuba.
 MT. Ince, who not only directed Wet Gold" but also played the lead ing part in the story, has been acting for the screen since the days of its early popularity. Besides acting and directing, MT. Ince has found that his athletic prowess is often called upon to make a photoplay realistic. In Wet Gold" which is being distribut- ed by the Goldwyn Company, MT Ince is seen diving from a vessel into the dtcI, $" lO IIo DOtIolll ol tiC sea and coming up through an air chamber in a submarine lying below. It is a remarkable athletic feat that has tremendous dramatic interest.
 There is no doubt but that Wet Gold" is one of the most thrilling and entertaining photoplays ever pro- duced.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The wide

 It takes only these few inches to tie up traffic on the main thorough fares, delay incoming and outgoing main line trains, contribute to the jam in the subways and create in- terminable congestion throughout the complicated mechanism that makes up the daily routine of existence in big city.
 New Workers, well aware of all of the attending discomforts, almost wished for a white holiday season, but were denied it; and with a seem ingly premeditated perversity the elements cut loose immediately after ward with the heaviest snowstorm of the season.
 The compensating factor consisted in a sudden demand for something like eleven thousand laborers to help clear the streets. There were not enough men to go around and the city faced dismal time of 1t until Old Sol beamed through gen. ially and gave them a lift.

maladjustment between supply and
demand and between wages and
prices.
The potential difficulties ahead
were expressed in these ways:
Over-expansion on the part of
management: unreasonable demands
on the part of labor.
Possibility of a buyers strike or
too much initiation.
Overproduction, rising wages, and
the possibility of initiation Of prices.
Possibility of European difficult

ness and of labor difficulties.

of the business cycle.
Spokesman for Atlanta, however,
believed that conditions would grow
better and better, and for Detroit

The heralds Of business in the
various cities believe that these OBJ
stacles to continued prosperity can
be surmounted.
Another factor causing some con-
Germ with the business leaders has
been the uneven distribution Of
prosperity this year. Good times
have especially favored the city

Reference was made by a spokes-
man for optimistic San Francisco to
the fact that there were no obstacles
to prevailing prosperity except the
usual workings OF the business cycle.
