BABSON PREDICTS DEPRESSION

This country, under the blighting rule of capi-
talism, has its periods of good times and de
preston. The Federal Reserve System was set
on foot to equalize things but even that agency
has passed into the hands Of the wolves Of Wall
Street, and is now used as an engine Of exploita-
ton
Babson is now feeling gloomy about the future
and sees the coming cycle of "hard times" cast
ing its shadow before.
Most American people are living in a fools
paradise and may be rudely awakened at any
time" he says. Babson was predicting the prob
ability of two or three years of prosperity fol-
lowed BY depression and possibly panic
This depression" said Babson "will follow the
Overextenson of the instalment business which is
today eating into business like a cancer" He
mentioned as other causes for gloom the foreign
situation and the fact that the manufacturing
capacity of almost all industries exceeds the con-
Stunning power.
Labor" Babson pointed out, "is today gener-
ally quiescent with the exception of a few desper-
ate strikes. Owing to the failure of the railroad
strike two years ago and of the recent coal strike
both here and in England union labor is fairly
quiet. The American Federation of Labor has
lost membership and important labor leaders have
left their jobs to ENTER private concerns. Not
withstanding these conditions we must not think
that any permanent change has taken place. The
labor problem will always be with us and nation
would not be progressive if its people were salts
fled with their lot"
Factory employment in Illinois has now shown
remarkable stability over a period of seven
months, ranging about 1 percent above the aver
age for 1922. The report of the state department
Of labor for August shows a decline of = of
percent from July. The August level is about
percent under March 1926 but 515 percent above
August 1925.

Atlanta Judge Writes
Book For Lawyers

Atlanta, Ga.-Judge L. F. Nc
Clelland, of the Atlanta Municipal
court, has turned author and has
written and compiled volume which
is attracting widespread attention,
especially among attorneys and 9TH
ers interested in the law and in hand
ling law cases.
"The Writ of Certiorari" is the
title, and it deals in most interest
ing and comprehensive way with the
subject indicated in the title. This
book will undoubtedly prove of
great help to attorneys who have oc-
casion to resort to writs of celtiorari.
Judge McClelland is well known
throughout the state and the South.
Prior to going on the bench of the
municipal court, where he has served
with distinction for many years, he
was practicing attorney and gained
from actual experience much of the
knowledge embodied in his book.
The book is dedicated to the memory
OF two former jurists of the county
courts who died within the last year.

Atlanta, Ga.-Progress OF the lai-

Rail Lines Reduce
T :" Loss-and Damage

Atlanta, Ga.-The year 1925 was
the fifth consecutive year that a de-
crease has ben shown as compared
with the preceding year, in the
amount Of loss and damage claims
which the railroads of the country
havehave had to pay, it was stated
here in railroad circles. Such I'M
provement is due, it was said, not
only to more careful handling OF
freight by the railroads, but also to
the cooperative efforts of the en-
ployes and shippers in promoting the
better packing and safer handling OF
freight shipments.
In every way the claim situation
was improved, figures made pubic
here show. The number of claims
was reduced 117,967 last year as
compared with the preceding year
! The number of claims pending over
the country was reduced 23,697.
| 1t also appears from survey made
during the year that differences
! which are bound to arise over the
settlement of claims are compare
4, lively few and far between; that moi
more than one-half of one per cent
of the number of claims presented
ever reach the courts and probably
over half of those cases are amlcablA
settled, without going to trial.

GETS THRILL AS

Triumph Of Publication Gratifes
 Publisher

Sln Francisco, April oS lP)~-Tho greatest thrill that comes to q pub fisher is to see good book, after being snubbed early in life, finally with the passing years begin recog- milton through sheer merit from dis corning readers.
 So believes Alexander Robertson, who has devoted fifty-six years of his life to the business, and he gives as the basic reason for the thrill the fact that the publishers literary Judgment is verified and a deserving author rcaps reward in fame.
 A good book, in his opinion, eventually will win it's place all though ten, twenty-five or even q hundred years may pass.
 Publishing the works of unknown authors is a "porsoual weakness" in which Robertson has indulged. It is said of him that he never refuses to publish book with sufficient merit out of fear 1t might not sell.
