Building contracts awarded IN
January, although less than in De-
cember, exceeded in volume that of
any previous January. particularly In
the New York and Atlanta reserve
districts. Automobile production, like
wise, was considerably larger than a
year ago, although less than in De
cember
Wholesale trade declined consider
ably, but wholesale prices remained
practically unchanged from December.

prices declined and with the settle

Strike Relief Needed.
Although generous contributions
come from everywhere, the Miners
Federation of Great Britain finds it in
creasingly difficult to feed the million
strikers and their families. Strike pay
has been discontinued, food relief is
given in some districts, while in 9TH
ers soup Kitchens are being estab-
lished. British social legislation with
its provisions for the destitute and
their children makes striking easier
than in America. In many districts
the poor commissioners are feeding
the children and in some districts
even strikers are being fed.
The whole labor movement is taxing
ITSELF Unions with dwindling re-
sources borrow on their remaining as
sets to help the miners. The interna-
tional response is splendid. Russia
promised 100000 in addition to the
$1,3O0,0O0 sent previously. $4,000 was
received from the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers, but little else has come
from America.
The strike promises to be long
one. Industry is shutting down every

in Germany and America, but the i'm.
ports have been insignificant. To
