NEW YORK. Sept, IS. up
Possibilities of business revival Of
more than seasonal proportions
this fall has seen this week in r"-
ports from nearly every section OF
the country that factories were re
hiring workers on n large scale to
supply the demand for manufactured
products.
Retail merchants who have al
lowed their inventories to drop 20
dangerously low levels are making
frantic efforts to rcplcnish their
stocks in anticipation OF the late
September buNing movement and
many wholesalers and makers are in
crcasing their forcts to meet rush
demands
Railroad ear loadings have risen
10 the highest levels since the start
of the current wear, indicating the
grcatly increased distribution Of
goods over the past few weeks; steel
production EaS made further gains
and various othcr indices of trade
are showing more than the seasonal
increase expected at this time.
The week brought It's usual crop
Of optimistic business forecasts by
important economists, BANKERS and
iEdustrial.,ts. accompanied by signs
Of greater public participation in the

Mother Jones, 100 years old May
|, has been growing weaker within

has been amazed at her tcnacity, but
he has told close friends of the aged
woman that she cannot be expected
to live much longer. He is called
to her bedside frequently.
She told today of calling on Mr..
Coolidge when he was President to
protest against the treatment accord
cd strikers children in California.
AS she was leaving, she said Mr..
Coolidge asked: " Mother, would you
object to having your picture taken
with mc!'
She replied, ono, Mr.. President,
hut perhaps you would. You know
there are a great many people who
consider me nothing but Bolshevist
and il may make " lot of trouble if
my picture is seen with yours. y
Mr.. Coolidge. she said, replied:
Mother, we all get knocks now
and then. We can pass ii Off. y
The picture was taken.
Il wish the world could see more
mon like Lincoln,' she said. She
then told of knowing Lincoln per

had fought in the Colorado mine war

Rockefeller celebrated his birthday
q few weeks later, Mother Jones
wired him congratulations, declar-
ing, "Thank God we have some men
IN the world yet as good as YOU.
But she has not made peace with
some of the Other capitalists.
81 will hate them until ! die,
she declared in mentioning some of
them.
