TIMES DUE
IN Z MONTHS,
SAYS HOOVER
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

American business Is passing
out Of the valley Of depression
into which it was plunged by the
November stocks crash and Is
starting the long climb up pros
perity hill again.
Unemployment, which has been
distressing in q dozen States, is
on the wane; the volume Of build.
ing and construction this year
promises to be greater than ever:
money Is cheap and plentiful, and
by May /, at the latest, the
country will have recovered SUBJ
Stantially from the partial
paralysis to its business nerves
during the winter months.
Presaged by Hoover
The foregoing represents PreSi-
dent Hoover's estimate of the
national and industrial situation.
He arrived at it after q survey
Of reports from industries and
sources that In the past have
proven barometrical as to ma
tional conditions.
One Of these is the building
industry. It has been Hoover's
observation, in almost ten years
Of keeping his finger on the
national business pulse, that
when the building industry is
booming, business generally is
good. The ramifications Of the
building industry extend into
almost every other line-Steel,
lumber, cement, paint and various
manufacturing lines.
Construction contracts in Jan
uary and February were from 40
to IS per cent higher than ever
known in these months" the
President said, "and the total
construction work for 1880 seems
assured to be larger than even
1929" Last year was . banner
year.
Unemployment Peak High
Moreover, building activity
spells increased employment, not
alone in the building trades them
selves, which have been hard hit
during the winter, but In the re-
lated lines of materials. Unem-
ployment in the unionized build
ing trades since November reached
q peak of 40 per cent.
The working of the natural
laws governing employment will
also assist In the recovery in the
months Immediately ahead, Secre-
tary Of Labor Davis pointed out
In q joint survey with Secretary
Of Commerce Lamont.
There is always some unem-
ployment in the cities during the
winter months due to the slack
ening down of farm work, which
forces thousands of floating work
erS into the cities. With the
opening of the planting season
and spring work on the farms,
these floaterS drift back to the
soil, relieving the congestion in
the centerS Of population. from
which spring most complaints Of
unemployment.
Another so days should see
enactment Of the tariff bill, in
the opinion of Administration
leaders, and they consider that
this will have a further stabilizing
and encouraging effect on general
business. Orders which have been
held back until buyers could
gauge the trend Of the market
should be forthcoming within 60
days, and the normal activity of
spring in the business world
should take care Of the rest,
according to the views of tie
President and his advisers.
On the whole, while the pusi-
ness and industrial situation is
spotty at this time, Mr.. Hoover
and his aids are optimistic over
the future. They believe the
worst is past, and that any move.
ment from now on viii be- toward
improvement.

COALITION |RED
BY REVERSES

interests to support hight tariffs
on each others articles. Thus far
the sugar and cement interests
have profited, with votes expected
next week on the other items.
Billion a Year Cost
Senator McMaster (R.) of South
Dakota charged this combine
would increase the cost IF living
by $1,000, 100000 q year If it
won all its prospective fights. He
listed the various costs as $902,
100000 on oil; $32,0O0.O0O on
sugar: $15,000,O00 on glass; $50,
100000 on cement, and $50,000,'
600 on lumber.
The coalition leaders mean.
while prepared for another vote
on both the sugar and Cement
rates. In the sugar contest, the
Senate first retained the existing
duty Of SITS per hundred pounds
on Cuban imports, virtually the
only dutiable competition for
American sugar, and then when
nine Senators changed their
votes, reversed and increased the
tariff to 50 per hundred pounds.
Senator Nye (R) Of North Da-
kota moved a reconsideration of
this vote, so there will be another
test.
Five Switch on Cement
On cement, the Senate first re-
moved a duty of 8 cents levied by
the. House and restored it to the
free list. Then, after the comb
Inc went into action, it forced
another reversal when five Sen
atorS changed their votes and
levied a duty Of 6 cents per hun
dred pounds-about 81 cents a
barrel. Again Nye, after voting
for the rate for that purpose,
moved a reconsideration. This
gave the coalition another op-
portunity to beat the rate-if
they can win back their de-
Serters.
These two reversals, the switch
ing Of votes, and the apparent
trading Of support thoroughly.
angered coalition leaders. They
apparently intended to vent their
wrath on Grundy. At last nights
session, Senator Blaine CR) of
Wisconsin went so far in dis
cussing the occupancy of Grundy's
office by tariff lobbyists as to
point a finger at the PennSyl-
vanian and threaten to "get rid
of the unseen and unclean hands
behind this tariff bill" Blaine
charged Grundy with "concealing
the facts" behind Doane's en-
ployment, the usual Senatorial
manner Of voicing the short and
ugly word.
Filibuster May Start
EpithetS, such as steam
rollers" plunderfund" and tariff
racketeers" were hurled at Ad-
ministration Republicans. They
took the tauntS silently, confident
the new alliance will virtually re-
write the important industrial
schedule before the bill is passed.
The bad feeling, however, may
alter the entire situation. There
was a possibility that the coal
ton might change tactics at any
moment, launch a filibuSter and
very likely defeat the bill. Other
wise, it should pass the Senate
next week.
