IS
SEEN FOR 1927
BY LABOR CHIEF

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-An opti-
miStic forecast of industrial condl.
tions in 1927 is made by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor in a statement
prepared by him for publication in
the January issue of The American
Federationist.
"The conditions are strongly in
dicative that 1927 will be as good
if nora better year than 1926" he
said, adding that many industries
have established production policies
and methods calculated to sustain
prosperity,
"Our trade union movement" he
continued, has made a substantial
contribution toward making ours a
high wage country and demonstrating
that high wages are compatible
with low costs.
because wages are high we can
do our part in buying the articles
industries are turning out in ever
increasing quantities. The wage in
creases for the conductors and train
men on the eastern roads and the
shopmen on the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Canadian National Railroad
may reasonably be regarded as in
dicative of what is to be expected
in 1927"

WASHINGTON, Jan. G.-In the
files of the War department is an
old unsigned document listing some
of the proudest names of the South
as deserters from the Confederate
army and because their relatives
and friends believe they have been
wrongfully accused, movement has
been initiated to clear them.
But the way to yindication may
be difficult because it lies through
the uncertain channels of legislative
action by Congress, whcih usually
turns it's ear to more urgent things.
