DESPITE STRIKE TROUBLE TIMES
 LOOKING BETTER
Slow Upward Turn From Depressi0fi Begins to
 Show in Business

zWashington, July 21 = A slow upward turn from economic de- pression was reported by govern ment agencies to-day as continuing despite spread of strikes and Indus trial unrest. Half dozen sets of figures were cited by government departments showing the brighter side of the picture. The American Railway Association reported that carloadings of revenue freight for the week ending July IA totalled 602,77S cars, an increase of S2,971 cars above the proceeding week. Increased loadings of miseellaneous freight, grain, forest products, ore, coke, coal and livestock were listed.
 The census bureau advised that 31,002,a64 cotton spindles were operating on June 30, compared with 25,549,974 in the same date 'n 1893 and 25,S91,366 in May. The labor department revealed the wholesale commodity price index rose in June to fhe highest level since April, 1881 the figure was 12 above that in May. The general price level was given as 7A6 per cent of the 1928 average farm pro- ducts showed the, widest gain with a per cent rise grain prices were up IS per cent and increases were marked in hogs, cotton, fresh milk other farm commodities.
 The chief reflection of the strike e situation was found in decline of 1.7 per cent in June factory employ ment from May and 3.1 drop in payrolls. It was pointed out that the New York Stock Exchange, considered by some in index of economic conditions. remained stagnant. The action of San Fran cisco labor leaders in ending the general strike there won praise to- day from President William Green of the American Federation of La bor. Green said sympathetic walk outs of this type could not win but that he felt the coast walkout was terminated early enough to pre- vent serious damage to the labor movement

CENSORSHIP OF
 PRESS ASKED

New York, July 21 - (U.P)- Partial censorship of the press was recommended in committee re- port prepared to-day for submis- sion to the American Bar Associa- tion convention August 27.

 It urged that courts utilize their powers and cite for contempt newspapers which carry such ac- counts and articles which appear to show prejudice.
 Vigorous use of this inherent authority of courts vii render un- necessary administrative censor- ship" the report read.

It is not the intention to upset in any way the we'll established practice of many mills to use scrap as they always have. but scrap flows back to the market through various channels and must be absorbed, and it is essential that accurate in-
 formation be made available so that this may not be used to defeat the purposes of the code"
