BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN u. s. A

Returns of the United States de-
partment of labor as far back as April
showed employment in factory lines at
90.6 per cent of the 1928 average
(Which is taken as 1000 and compares
with 92.8 per cent in April a year ago.
These returns are suggested as ex-
planatory of the reports that there is,
or has been, considerable labor idle
ness this year. Prominent centers of
this idleness, or, perhaps to use a
better word, displacement, are no
doubt to be found II the soft coal
strike, the curtailment of operations
in some automobile centers, in the
Pacific coast and southern lumber in
dustries, and in ordinary building.
Some Of this displacement has, no
doubt, been absorbed by other pursuits
and report on this subject by the de
partment might prove interesting.
"One reason for expecting that the
mid-year period Of relative quiet may
this year be longer than in some other
years has to do with the crop out
look. OF late years there has been
disposition apparently to take crops
for granted. but this view would seem
to need revision this year because,
upon the crops, after all, depends a
vast deal of possible business. In
the first place the business year really
begins in mid-year because that is
the time that some crops become GER
tainties and others may be estimated
upon. This year most crops are late,
and some, as for instance corn, are in
the most indefinite position probably
ever known.
That the crop situation changed
for the better in June goes without
question, even if uncertainties still
cloud the final outcome. The drought
which endangered cotton in the south
east and southwest and which actually
cut the possible yield of winter wheat
nearly 60,000,000 bushels in the latter
area, was fortunately broken by rains
in the first half Of June after the
Texas crop was cut to third Of its
promise. Oklahoma's crop was cut
in half, and the Kansas yield reduced
by perhaps Is per cent. The poten-
tial value of the heavy rains in the
northwest is, however, illustrated by
current estimates that spring wheat
may almost make up for the winter
wheat loss.
Cotton is perhaps next to corn in
uncertainty Of position and a smaller
yield than last year by perhaps 3,000,-
600 bales is indicated at the time of
writing. Cotton prices are a cent a
pound below a year ago at this time
Perfect weather and the large sup
ply of moisture in the ground in the
west may change the corn position,
but it may be repeated that pending
a clearer view of the leading crops,
general business will probably go for
ward rather carefully"

COUNCIL TICKET
NAMED BY CHARTER
COMMISSION

The following statement was issued
by the Hamilton charter commission
on last Friday:
"On November 2, 1926, the citizens
Of Hamilton voted to adopt the new
charter which had been prepared and
unanimously indorsed by charter
commission previously elected for that
purpose by the people. The members
of this commission are frank X.
Vaughn, f. B. Alston. Raymond Fl.
Burke, John M. Crocker, Eleanore w.
Frechtling, II. II. Haines, f. r. Hall,
Mark Millikin, Louis +. Nau, Reese
Pipher, b. W. Ramsey, w. r. Sneed.
Morris G. Taylor, c. f. Woolford and
Ella Mae Cope While the official
duties Of this commission ceased
when its charter was adopted they,
as individual citizens, decided that a
moral obligation still rested upon them
to educate the citizens concerning this
new charter and to do all in their
power to secure the election Of the
first counciImen who would be friendly
to this charter, non-paltisan and in
dependent Of any sort Of influence. and
qualified to give the city am honest
business administration. With this
end in view frequent meetings have
been held during the past few months
and many other citizens who are inter
ested ia the charter and in securing
an able, clean government for the
city, have been consulted.
"The commission is now glad to an
nounce that they have indorsed the
following men who are offering them
selves as candidates for councilmen to
be chosen at the next general election
on November 8th: Mark MilHkin,
Minor N. Beckett, Morris G. Taylor,
Louis +. Nau, Raymond II. Burke.
Martin J Lingler and Homer G. Fer
euson.
The seven councilmen elected on
that date will take office on January
|, 1928, and have complete control
over the city government for the next
two years. These councilmen viii have
the duty of choosing the first city
manager for Hamilton, and will have
the esponsibility Of putting into effect
the new type of governmental machin-
cry provided by the charter. The
commission feels that each Of these
seven men is well qualified in every
particular to fill this important posi-
tion and intends to do all in its power
to secure the election Of these seven
men, all Of whom are intelligentIy
sympathetic to the new deal in muni-
cipal affairs.
Under the new charter candidates
are nominated by petitions which
must be signed by not less than one
hundred nor more than two hundred
qualified electors of the city, and no
person can sign more than one petit
tion. The petitions placing these
seven candidates in nomination. ara

This decline in construction was na-
turally enough accompanied by an es-
timated 10 per cent reduction in lum-
Der orders and shipments, and an
even greater percentage of curtail-
ment of production. Automobile pro-
duction for five months fell off II per
cent from a year ago, which, with the
quiet in June due to model changes,
flood effects on buying, etc, seems
likely to result in 10 per cent re-
duction at least from year ago Car

with the movements in the above in
dustries in that they showed gains
of | per cent for the half year over

soft coal strike accounted for prac-
tically all of the 317,575 extra cars
hauled and the five months returns of
gross receipts, and net operating in
come of the railways were only frac-
tionally different from year ago.
Bank clearings and debts totals
stood out prominently as showing
gains for the half year over 1926,
