CONFIDENCE

Now "a long, strong pull" and business revival will go over
with a wallop, All economists, except the professional pessimists
who live on disaster and hard times, are agreed that the country
is ready Tor a boom. Some even believe the boom will develop
INTO a sensation, but even the most conservative thinkers are salts
fled that the door OF good times is now open. The natural tight
ening up as a result of prediction fears and woeful tales has
vanished. The people hold back for a month or two before cleo
ton, predicting all kinds of trouble in the event of victory falling
to the party to which they are opposed, but as soon as the die is
cast they join the sane Americans and realize that no matter what
party wins an election in this country, nothing can stop the growth
and prosperity of America.
The belief that good times are here, however, is based on more
than sentiment. Comfort is found in the fact that there is a better
balance between the prices of merchandise and agricultural in
come. Next, employment shows Improvement. Wages have not
taken any drop to speak of. Another factor, European skies have
been cleared. There is no doubt that the American solution of
Germanys difficulties will prove most helpful. Then, too, it is
pointed out, the railroads are in a better financial condition than
they have been in some years. But best of all there is a FESTIVE
desire for expansion and activity on the part of the people, and
money never has been SO plentiful, which means business expan-
sion need not a wait the lOOsening up of capital.

ELIMINATION OF
 STRIKES EXP! AIMED
Brilliant Speech Made at Trade Conventions Held at Boston

Boston, June 6.--How the welfare of hundred thousand longshoremen of the big ports of the United States may be improved, and loss by strikes 10 shipowners eliminated, was eX- plained today before the eleventh ma tional foreign trade convention, by +. P. Foisie. secretary of the Waterfront Employers association, of Seattle, Washington. He urged its adoption in at least ten leading ports of the United States.
 Mir. Foisie said that Seattle had eliminated it's strikes through CO., operative plan which has now been successfully working for four years, and that a thousand progressive man. ufacturing plants throughout the United States had applied the same plan with success.
 Between 1908 and 1920, Mir. Foisie continued, there had been chaos on the waterfront in Seattle, resulting in great loss of time and money to both the employers and employees. The inn portance of handling ship freight is seldom realized, and studies on be Pacific coast showed that ten to 25 per cent of a ships total operating expenses consisted Of charges for load ing and discharging cargo. In other words, the speaker said, the cost of loading a ton of cargo in Seattle and unloading it in an Oriental port is from one-tenth 10 one-quarter of the total cost of transporting it across the Pacific ocean. He pointed out that loncshore work in the past had been an unsteady and demoralizing job, be- cause of the uncertainty of ship ar rivals, and that every waterfront VAS generally flooded with fioaters.
 Seattle solved this problem by or Eanizing council Of shippers and la borers, whereby steady men with fam

University Of California Keeps File of Personality of Graduates in
 Engineering.

Berkeley, Cal, June 6.-Personality records of graduates in engineering, declared equally or more valuable than scholastic achievements, are now kept by the University Of California and are made available for manufac- turers and other employers of young engineers.
 All juniors and seniors are rated both by members of the faculty and by their fellow students as 10 char acter, address, appearance, leader ship. disposition, popularity, speed in work accuracy and attention to detail A student committee is asked each year to rate the members of its class. These ratings are compared with those of the faculty and an average thus is struck The students rating has the weight of one instructors rating, and, according 10 the uniNer- sity authorities, it has been found that the students are more strict than the teachers.
 Professor Blake F.. Nanleer, in dis

cussing the system, points out that employers do not select college gradu- ates primarily because of their schol- astic grading, but put high value on personal recommendation.
 The personality records are perma- nent, so that the graduate is protect ed, with the passing years, against the death or resignation of the professors who knew him best.
 Professor Vanleer reports that per sonnel officers from large corpora lions come regularly to the College Of Mechanics to study the data of those about 10 be graduated. and to check the records by their own observation of candidates for employment.
 It is explained that man need not rate high in every particular to be ac- ceptable. If, for instance, he is rated relatively low in precision and detail, he may stand high enough in other respects 10 make an excellent sales- man or executive; while for research of technological work, diffidence Is no bar, though accuracy is necessary.

lilies were given work and the foaters weeded out.
 During the four years of this CO., operative plan, the earnings of long shoremen had risen from an average of $5S monthly to between $40 and S175.
 Mir. Foisie said that the cost of breaking up single severe struggle such as Seattle had during four months strike Tn 1916 would pay all the expenses of the present peace pro- gram for ten years.
 Ships are now loaded promptly and by experienced hands III Seattle, with out the smashing of freight or the theft Of valuable cargo, and without the big losses to shipowners for ships held overtime waiting for discharge.
 Mir. Foisie recommended this plan to waterfront organizations through out the country.

That he can carry the primaries \ of his own state is hardly to be dis puted, considering his recent smash ing victory at the polls against the opposition of party leaders. The senator from Missouri has magnetic

To be sure, it is doubtful whether MT. Reed would be so effec- tive with other audiences outside his own state. But in Missouri he is fa- vorite son.

A NEW BY.PRODUCT

There are three interesting fea- lures in connection with the booking by a Gadsden firm of an order for sash weights representing a value of two hundred and ten thousand dollars. It is the first large sale of this product in territory outside of the state. The order was placed in New York state, and the goods went directly through territory in Virginia and Pennsylva- mia which had previously supplied the market thus pre-empted by Ala bama. The raw material for the manu- facture of these sash weights was formerly disregarded as junk.
 Thus a valuable by-product has been rescued, from little more than waste materials. The booking of this large order was, therefore, an achieve ment in more ways than oGe. il showed that this product. which is ir large demand because of increased building activities, is ing n'aoe u to o> standard requirements cheaper

than elsewhere, and that the business can be obtained far afield in spite of higher transportation costs. It also directs attention to the many and con stantly, increasing opportunities for enlargement of the diversified indus try field in district so highly fa- vored for it's development. Only a few years ago two or three basic ma terials were manufactured for use in finished products at distant points, a condition which required heavy costs to get the products back to this mar keting territory Now many fin ished products are made in Alabama out of our abounding raw materials, thus permitting considerable econo- mics in labor and transportation costs.
 The lesson is that there is scarcely district in this country which is so richly destined by nature to be- come a great producer of variety of finished articles. So far there has been only beginning of what may be expected during the next few years. The opportunities are broad, the pos abilities as yet unsounded. The en- tire field will be developed as this sections advantages are more widely appreciated by industrial leaders at home and abroad.

NOT INTERVENTION"

1t is particularly unfortunate ttat @un relations with any foreign gov turnment should b1 exploited for ro- llr.inaI purposes. It IS unfortunate that the sale of certain armament by Dur government to the Mexican gov ennment should be deliberately spoken af by some as Hintervention." It is not intervention in any sense of the wurd,. and thece is nothing ip inter- national custom or precedent that duRstiuns the right of one government to, sell the munitions of war to an- ether recognized government. Far more open to criticism would be a policy that would refuse equipment necessary to preserve a government tIfat has so used it's period of peace as to promote the arts of peace and not ta expend the public funds on war like array.
