WORLD FOUND
RECOVERING

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-A world
emerging from the depression
created by the great war Of a gen.
Grafton ago is depicted in the COM
ments of delegates from 10 coun-
tries in North and South America,
Australia, Europe and Asia to the
international Business Machines
Corporations convention which
yesterday held it's second session
at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
In almost every instance, a re-
duction of unemployment is re-
ported. Only three Continental
countries reported more unemploy-
ment in the first half Of 1885
than they had in the correspond
ing 1885 period, and each Of them
showed a notable increase in en-
ployment in the last three months
of 1896, according to j. E. Holt,
European general manager.
In Austria unemployment was
reduced last year by 100000, or 80
per cent. Particularly marked de-
creases we're shown in the gold bloc
countries which devalued their cur
rencies late last year. The reduc-
ton of unemployment has pro
duced in a surprising number OF
countries an actual shortage OF
skilled labor so that this condition
may be called almost worldwide.
Germany faces substantial prob
lem to find skilled labor or even
likely subjects for training, accord
ing to Karl Hummel, managing
director of the IBM German affili-
ate. The problem is so severe that
the increased use of improved ma
chinery in industry is being car
ried out broadly in order to in
crease the productivity OF the
workers they have.

l tion of this month is not a fortunate one. There may be an unusual iepidemic of intestinal influenza and many cases of pneumonia. Workers now come under a sway lthat gives cause for anxiety in gov lernment circles. Differences be- tween employers and employees in certain cases may reach a desper- ate impasse.
 New factory laws and better work ing conditions are indicated. There may be a growing resentment among capitalists as they are forced Ito spend large sums of money for the protection of employees. The career of a famous radical Tor socialist leader may end this month and his successor will be more conservative and more diplo- |matic.
 This is read as rarely fortu- nate day for women who should be- gin early in the morning to carry out important plans. Later in the day they may encounter severe criticism of their movements for the preservation of peace and their eff forts toward reforms in public in- stitutions.
 This is not lucky sway for we'd dings since it is likely that the bride and bridegroom will follow diverg- ing interests.
 It is not favorable rule under which to launch new enterprises in the entertainment world.
 There is sign encouraging con- structive thought and effort, but conservative policies must prevail if success is to be attained.
 The evening IS propitious time for lovers, and they may be in- fluenced more by emotion than by common sense. Nasty weddings will be numerous all through the year.

THE LEGISLATURE AND LIQUOR

The liquor question, which has been held more or less in the background thus far in the legislative session promises to be of the controversial issues as the session toward its close The Anderson bill which would refer the question of Territorial liquor stores to vote of the people passed the House but was defeated in the Senate The McCutcheon high license measure commonly known the saloon bill, is now being acted upon in the House.
 Over in the Senate two other measures dealing with liquor in the hopper with little action thus far They are the Rivers bill making satuatory the present regulations of the Board of Liquor Control and the Patterson bill calling for Territorial control under an administrator elected by the people for that purpose It is similar to the Washington State plan where the State operates all the liquor stores, all revenues revertng to the State.
 Revenue of course has Important bearing on the question While the receipts from liquor in the last two years have not been great they have been sufficiently large that they loom important n the Legslatres present search for additional money to put into effect the Social Security act and other pro- posed legislation If however, the lawmakers oecloe to boost the levy gold up to the three per cen' gross now being considered it is probable that the matter of revenue will not have such an important part in the final disposition of the liquor issue
 There is evidence that the Legislators are al pres ent leaning toward the Territorial store pan but thel are faced with considerable of a barrier on tha point The question has been raised, and It IS knotty one relative to the establishment of liquor stores by the Territory in outlying communities. The argument has been advanced that the cost to the Territory of operating stores in many of the small places would be greater than the revenues derWeo which probably is correct That certainly is prob- lem the Legislature will have to iron out before Il can definitely decide establishing Territorial stores
 Theoretically, the Territorial store plan sounds close to an ideal but for practical purposes 1t has many drawbacks in a vast Territory such as Alaska where there is maximum of only about 300O0 pros pectve white customers, the native population o course being wards of the Federal government ane
