presumes to state that there is not
even any hope for a pickup it be-
gins to look as though it were STEP
ping into the fields of the crystal
gaZerS.
1t would not be so bad if the trend
Of business were not dependent, to
some extent at least, on public pSy-
cholOgy. But affecting the attitude
of great numbers of workers, as it is
bound to do, the statement itself is
likely to act as a business deterrent.
Your correspondent would like to
point out that there is hope" for an
improvement in trade and an in
crease in employment, although
there is no certainty" of such a de-
velopnent.
TINE very fact that business has
Il been stagnant for so long pro-
vides basis for hope of an I'M
provement. The surplus of goods
on the shelves of the merchants
and in the homes of the people has
been reduced to a minimum, so that
the need for new production is
great. This need will find reflection
in better business as soon as the
proper contact between consumption
and production has been bhshed
again.
Indications are that the govern
ment will expend greater efforts and
more money toward printing the
pump" of trade this winter than
ever before, and that, too, should
prove beneficial. The banks also
have begun to loosen up on credit
"a favorable factor. Sentiment in
Wall Street and elsewhere is better
than it has been, which is a good
sign.
Favorable indications, in fact, are
available on every hand. Individ-
ually they may not count for much,
but collectively they furnish every
reason for hope. Bank deposits
have increased materially so far this
year; London and Amsterdam in
veStors have been buying our securi-
ties; the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. has been able to dispose Of
some of its municipal bond holdings
at a profit, and borrowers from the
government are paying of their
loans at a very rapid rate.
=
THE return to normal business
i conditions is expected by most
authorities to be a slow, gradual
process, to be sure, but it is entirely
possible that the pickup may be
faster than they expect. The float
ing supply of world capital could
easily begin to concentrate in the
United States during the coming
winter, and the result might well be
a stimulation Of trade.
The fact that most people thought
in 1929 that We were in new era
of permanent prosperity should be
proof enough that almost anything
can happen in business, and it
should cause such organizations as
the American Federation of Labor
to be hesitant about making such
statements as I'VE can hope for no
important gains in employment be-
fore next spring.

Eagle codes will be planned this
week at the national recovery adj
ministration. American Federation
of Labor heads are Fastening here
from their annual convention in
San Francisco for a NRA labor adj
visory board meeting tomorrow
which promises far-reaching signi-
ficance.
Heading items for discussion will
be several along lines of convention
mandates:
l. Organization of Industrial
unions. These unions, organized
vertically and covering all classes of
labor were authorized, following de-
feat in a bitter fight last year. They
will be sought first in mass produc-
ton industries. Important ones al
ready are functioning in bituminous
mining. clothing workers, automo-
bile, rubber tire, and aircraft manu-
featuring industries. Strong men,
bership drives are in prospect.
Hours Cut Seen
2. Reduction of work hours. The
federation again voted for a 30-hour
week by law. Pending congress &C
ton, an attempt Will be made to re-
duce hours in individual codes.
wherever possible. The auto code up
for renewal Nov. likely will be
first considered. Demands for
shorter hours than the present AZ
weekly, and increased wages, again
will be made.
3. Demand for presidential in

Williams, new recovery board chair
man, is unfair to labor" Mr. Will
liamS is a tobacco manufacturer and
an active industrial leader. He ran
afOul of labor IN NRA hearings on
tobacco codes.
One year ago the federation con-
vened in Washington. The recov-
cry act had affirmed the bargain
ing rights of labor. Millions of
unemployed were going back to
work. Administrator Hugh S. john
son addressed the meeting as la
boris champion. He assured work.
ers the law would be enforced; that
he would wiring concessions from in
dustry such as had not been known
before. Industrlalists were fright
ened at the prospect.
Many New Members
The year brought the federation
new members by hundreds Of thou
sands where millions were hoped for.
Serious battles in steel, automobile,
Cotton textile industries were solved
by presidential labor relations
boards.
Today labor leaders look to the
recovery board for renewed support
of their cause. Sidney Hillman,
president of Amalgamated Clothing
Workers union, represents them of
ficially. Dr. Leon c. Marshall, po-
litical economist specializing in Ia
Dor affairs, is andther member.

Demoralizing Industry

"As conditions stand today a few
racketeers producing hot oil in vio-
lation of the code are demoralizing
the industry.

ing less than l per cent of an in

also to laugh at them through the
medium of signing fictitious names

becomes the business of every Amer

At the same time it is disclosed
that Jerome Levine, president oil

appointed a committee to consider
the question of establishing an oil

GRANT Of FUND
AVERTS CRISIS

A crisis in the affairs of the
Alexandria public school system
is believed to have been averted
by the action of city council
last night in appropriating $16,-
900 from the contingent fund to
cover the three-year-old school
deficit.
During closed sessions within
the past two weeks, the school
board is said to have informed
council of the stringency of the
financial situation of the school
system, and finally to have told
the city heads the schools would
not be able to complete the term
unless the deficit was made up.
While council was meeting in
the city hall last night the school
board was meeting in the cor
poration court to await councils
action. When word was brought
council had covered the deficit,
the school board discussed few
minor matters and adjourned.
The 1885 budget will be the
principal objective of council dur
ing the remainder of the year

Henceforth, as business calls, Ill

And never more transgress the line
