Hooper Told to Keep Out
 of Ohio; Declaration May
 Haze Fm-Reacl,ing Effecl
By BYRON PRICE (Chief Of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.

(Chief Of Bureau, The Associated
 Press, Washington.
 The Anti Hoover declaration of the Ohio Republican leaders is one of those comparatively small events which sometimes mark the turning point of great political movements.
 Considered by itself, apart from it's background of local and national rivalries, the action is not so impor- tant. The State Central Committee, which framed the declaration, does not decide what candidate the state will support; and, after all, Ohio Is only one state among many.
 Yet, when all Of the circumstances are taken into account, the develop ment carries certain implications of the most interesting sort.
 One inevitable suggestion is that the committee may not have acted entirely as an isolated unit of the party's national organization-that step of so extraordinary charac- ter must have had some extraordi- nary cause and purpose.
 In other words, the declaration raises the question whether this really is the first concrete gesture of widespread and well-organized effort to read MT. Hoover out of party leadership.
 Extraordinary Action
 The facts of the case are interest ing enough to warrant detailed ex- animation.
 Ohio has primary law, and the primary returns usually decide what candidate will be supported. The State Central Committee presumably represents all elements of party opin- ion and occupies itself with party or ganization, not with candidates.
 A half-dozen or more Republicans now are prominently mentioned for the Presidency. One of them is MT Hoover, who by virtue of his nom nation in 1932 remains the titular leader of the party. Furthermore. it has been reported that MT. Hoover

new PRODUCTS AID
TO 1885 ADVANCES
Chemical Society Leader Notes
Marked Progress Made in
Research Work.

An increased demand for goods and
renewed confidence in the future are
reported throughout the country as
the year 1885 closes. according to
Industrial and Engineering Chemis-
try. publication of the American
Chemical Society, of which DR.. Har-
rison E. Howe of Washington is editor.
The genuineness of the present
movement toward the revival of busi-
ness on every hand is amply attested
by all branches of industry, says the
journal, asserting that the pressure
of new products of research for mar
kets has been one of the principal
factors in causing the uptrend.
In the existing situation there are
innumerable claimants for the credit
of having brought about the change"
it is declared. Probably no one cause
or group of causes is more important
than another, but. rather, the effect
has resulted from the operation of
many factors, both real and psyche
logical, which have now accumulated
enough force to turn the trend curves
decidedly upward.
Tine huge numbers Of new ma
teriak and new processes which have
come out Of research organizations
and into production have added their
weight to the vast improvements made
in existing lines to swing the eco
nomic balance to the favorable side
by Turing reluctant buyers into the
market"

SANTA FE EXPECTS
CLIMB IN TRAFFIC
President Bledsoe Declares West
ern Carriers Territory Fared
Much Better in Year.
BY S. T. BLEDSOE,

President. A. T & s. F. System.
The general territory served by the
Santa Fe Jared better on the whole in
1885 than in 1884.
However, the wheat farmer in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas was an
exception to this general statement,
for lack of moisture in the Western
portions of those States during the
early Spring attended with high winds
resulted in one of the smallest wheat
yields on record; for a number of
weeks there were such severe and re-
peated dust storms that this became
known in popular parlance as the
dust bowl of America"
The rainfall in this region since May
has restored vegetation in a large de-
gree and the present condition of grass
and Winter wheat is better than for
some years.
For the last two months both freight
and passenger traffic have been con-
siderably heavier than a year ago and
are continuing so at this writing. 1t
is our hope that this may hold during
the forepart of 1886 and. if the present
crop prospects materialize into normal
yields next Summer, business of the
last half of the year should be good
In anticipation Of a greater demand
upon our facilities we have appropri-
ated over s350O,00O more for additions
and betterments for 1886 than for
1885.

Stores Prepared
To Handle Larger
Volumes in Year
BY DAVID OWNS.

President Retail Dry Goods Association.
Because there are so many ele-
mentS of uncertainty entering into
the whole economic picture. 1t is
very difficult for any one to predict
with any degree of accuracy the trend
of retail sales in 1886 Most mer-
chants, however, are planning for
an increase in volume over 1885,
and this should be a considerable
amount, providing, however, Govern
ment spending will not be cut down
too abruptly and the country as a
whole continues its gradual emerg-
ence from. the depression
One of the chief elements in re-
tail trade in 1886 will be centered
on the expanding interest in new
and modernized homes. Home fur
nishings departments have already
received a healthy impetus from this
trend in 1885, and merchants gen.
orally are preparing during 1886 to
furnish in large volume the many
articles needed to beautify these
homes.
1t is probable that a general i'm
provement in business will bring some
slight price increases, but no one
looks for this to have any special
significance as far as the consumer
Is concerned.

A|R-COND|T|ON|NG
IS NEW LEADER
Young Industry Helps Spur
Drive for Recovery
During Year.
BY Cambridge Associates.

The forty-niners descended upon
California in answer to the shout
Of gold" and their brethern trekked
to the Yukon to heed the same call.
Since the turn of the century, the
glamour of the gold rush has some
what faded, but, periodically. the
glitter of rising enterprise on the
industrial horizon has caused some
what similar surge toward seemingly
limitless profits.
In the postwar years, for example,
housing" appeared as the industry
which promised much and fulfilled
good deal. Later, radio" was the
magic word and now condition
ing" appears as the important leader
in taking up the depression slack in
employment.
Air-conditioning, considering the
circumstances which surrounded its
birth, has already made substantial
strides. Both during 1884 and 1885,
in spite of the extreme dullness which
has prevailed in the building field
during most of that period, sales
volume was very encouraging. Any
real increase in building will un-
doubtedly be reflected in air-condi-
tioning installations.
AS in the days of the gold rush, the
development of electricity, the auto
mobile and the radio, many will rush
in and a few will remain TO profit.
Tha. trend is already distinguishable.
Many of the companies which enter
the field will be forced to give way
to the better financed, better organ
lied units AS units expand, the next
step will be mass production and
consequent lowering of costs which
will reach the really big market.
Next year, declares one air-con-
ditioning consultant, the industry
should do $4,000, 900 worth of busi-
ness anu by 1914 the total may reach
000C 900. Such expansion would
not only benefit those supplying
materials to manufacturers, but would
mean permanent tremendous in
crease in the use of electricity.

FEARS WAGE LAG
Green Declares Employment
Also Fails to Keep Up
With Trade Gains.
RY WILLIAM GREEN.

President American Federation of Labor.
A glance at the business situation
shows us clearly that the pace of in
dustrial activity is quickening. The
leading indicators of business trends
have convinced those who follow them
that general increases in production
may be expected during the next few
months. Such Increases should mean
increased employment and pay rolls.
The most significant feature in the
business situation today is that in
creases in employment and in the
earnings of the workers are not keep
ing up with our increases in indus
trial activity and profits.
II this order of things are permit
ted to continue we know that our
period OF increased production must
be short lived 1t may be that We
will enter into another speculative
era such as that which brought such
die consequences to the people of
this country following the clCse of the
last decade, but it is certain that un-
less employment and pay rolls are
LIllICdSCN W lIlo
greater production We will be plunged
again into the depths of depression
and deStitution.
From leading opinions which have
been expressed by industry, it would
seem that taxes are a matter of major
concern and that the costs of the
program for social security, which
was inaugurated during the last ses-
sion Of Congress, will impose excess
Sive burdens on industry.
We are confronted Oh the one hand,
with the refusal of industry to reab-
sorb in private employment those who
are eager and able to earn a living if
the opportunity were but given to
them.
We are confronted on the other
hand by widespread antagoniSm to
any tax program which, through re-
lief or insurance benefits will keep
these people from starvation. We
have in the United States l1,5OO,-
600 unemployed. The significance of
this condition has not yet been given
recognition.
