Here, City
Leaders Say
Banks, Stores, Factories
Reflect Optimism, Sur
vey Shows.

Definite proof of slow, but GER
tain revival of more prosperous
times, after the long, hard years Of
the depression, was shown today in
optimistic reports by local manu-
facturers and other business lead
erS.
The business survey conducted by
The Times, in which several scores
of concerns were queried, not only
failed to produce any pessimiStic
reports, but indicated that, after
many false starts, the machinery
of industry at last has been thrown
into high and the throttle opened.
From every direction came re-
ports of increased retail sales, fac
tories back on full, or nearly full
production schedule, increased bank
clearings and other certain harding
erS of better times.
Survey Is Completed
Survey just completed by the In
dianapolis Water Company reveals
a heavy decrease in the number of
vacant residences. Apartments we're
not included. The report shows a
total of 1879 vacant residences, a
decrease of 2,423 under last year.
Postal receipts for March showed
a gain of Is per cent over last year
and a substantial gain over March,
1882.
In connection with improved bust
ness conditions, food prices in In
dianapolis show substantial in
creaseS, according to a United States
department of labor bulletin Just
issued.
Average food prices here March
Is, it was reported, showed an in
crease of As over the same date a
year. ago, 23.6 per cent over March
Is, 1888, and 81 over Feb. q, 1884.
Bank CIearings Increase
Bank clearings and debts show
an increase for the first time since
the boom days OF 1928, when a
steady decline began.
Debts, which are better indica-
ton of the actual turnover of money
than clearings, because debts in
clude not only checks moving from
one bank to another, but also intra-
bank transactions. show a total of
$132 ,209,0 900 for January, an in
crease of $15,865, 900 over January
1888, but still $21 10000 under
January, 1882.
February debts totaled $101,-
$4,000, which was $3,643, 900 under
February, 1888, and $26,612,O00 I'M
der February, 1882.
For March, the total was $122,-
$4,000, a gain of 100000 over
March, 1888, the date of the bank
moratorium, and $11,278,000 under
March, 1882.
Substantial improvement in the
real estate business, with prospects
of increased improvement in the
near future, is reported by Thomas
r. carson, indianapolis Real Estate
Board president.
Blocks Reflects Optimism
All the larger downtown depart
ment stores reported improved con-
ditions.
Sales have improved and the
general tone of business is much
better" said F. B. Walker of the
William H. Block Company. Blocks
is confident the improvement will
continue, as is evidenced by the fact
the company is launching construc-
ton of an addition to handle the
expected continued increase in bust
ness. Already we have had to add
a number of employees"

MILL STRIKES
DEADLOCKED
Directing Hosiery Workers
Orderly; Hear Plea of
Union Leader.

Strike of seevral hundred en-
ployes of the Real Silk, Nationa
and Fulton hosiery mills, begun
yesterday, remained at Standstil
today.
The plants did not operate today
being on a five-day week, but Off
Gals said they would be open Mon.
day.
In the meantime, a crowd of strik-
ers and strike sympathizers, esti-
mated between 500 and 600
crowded into the Garment Work
ers' hall, 163 West Ninth street
and heard addresses by union or
ganizers and others.
Among those who spoke was
Adolph Fritz, Indiana Federation
of Labor secretary, who urged then
to hold on" in an effort to wiz
compliance by the companies with
the union demands.
The strikers continued to main.
tain their orderly conduct.
Back Company Union
Real Silk officials today said the
strike created a problem that was
out of their hands, and that they
feel the responsibility is between
the union and the Employees Mutua
Benefit Association, the latter be-
ing the company union recognized
by the company.
The company officials asse- they
have no authority to meet c Ind;
of the union, as they signed a con-
tract giving the company union the
right to represent all employees, fol
lowing the election last fall.
Reports on the number of en-
ployes who struck still were highly
conflicting, Real Silk mills officials
announcing that only 755 of a total
of 5000 Real Silk employees failed
to report for duty, while representa-
tives of the American Federation of
Hosiery Workers claimed that be-
tween 1000 and 2,400 from the three
plants we're on strike. Not over 400
of the total were from the National
and Fulton mills.
Regional labor board officials said
today they had not been asked tt
mediate between the companies anc
union strikers. They take the po-
sition that until requested to arbi-
trate they can not function as 6
conciliator.
Election Results Cited
The strike was called shortly
after midnight Friday morning
when company officials said they
were powerleSs to meet demands
of the union that the entire plant
be unionized. Other demands were
also made.
Under direction of an NRA Off
cial, an election among employees
was held at the Real Silk plant last
October on company and employe
unions, the vote being to l ir
favor of the company union, Rea
Silk officials assert.
The strikers were told at the
meeting by B. Foster, business
agent of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers local, that the locals
members would obtain a holiday
Wednesday and join the hosiery
workers in picketing the hosiery
mills. This announcement was
greeted with wild cheers.

While many of these vessels were
Coast Guard vessels, they were
operating under the Navy Depart
ment by presidential order and
consequently were, in effect, naval
vessels.
During the past year the Naval
Station issued 4,984,O45 gallons of
fuel oil, 2,OSI,753 gallons of wa
ter to naval vessels and perform
ed various miscellaneous jobs in
connection with their basing on
the naval station. In order. to
cary on these additional jobs the
station employed a few more men

The vessels of the navy have spent
more time in Key West during the
past year than in any other port

The Secretary of the Navy has
this date sent the following des-
patch to all naval vessels and nav
al shore activities:
"On October "a we again cele-
brate jointly the birth of our
navy and that great American,
the late President Theodore
Roosevelt, much of whose public
life and utteranees were devoted
to the sponsorship of American
sea power and the championship
of our first line of defense.
at is gratifying to all of US in
the navy. I am sure, that during
the past year we have witnessed
such a revival of interest in our
navy as evidenced not alone by
the administration but by the SYM
pathetic attitude of congress. the
press and the public at large.
"The spontaneous enthusiasm
and overwhelming majority which
characterized the passage of the
VinsOn Bill, can be interpreted as
a clear mandate of the American
people that henceforth it shall be
a considered obligation on the
part of our government to build
and maintain a navy within the
framework of existing treaties
that will be commensurate in
ships and personnel with our re-
quirements for national safety, our
seabOrne commerce and our world
wide commitments. We can in
deed take heart that recognition of
our legitimate naval aspirations.
our needs and requirements have
evoked such a sympathetic and
understanding chord in our fell

people.

sure that we viii continue to vim
