from the strategic Clinico hospital

months.
Insurgent artillery replied with
light but effective fire on the
southern front where q dozen Rus

of the sudden loyalist attack. One
bomb exploded on tank which
burst into flames.
Two caterpillar tractors clat-

before rebels could capture it. The

Another tank was disabled ara

Not only this, but individuals are

very much to the fore in the last
few months, and one manufacturer
in nearby Maryland has stated that
he has more orders ahead for luxury
craft than he can flll, while the ship
building yards OF the Eastern sea-

1t is not the writer's intention to
enter upon any glittering generali-
ties. Facts from all sources tell .
definite story Of recovery, and may
be viewed dispassionately, pointing
still to the same inevitable conclu-
sion.
The labor troubles that have marked
the past months, contrary to being a
depressing indication, confirm the
general prosperity, for workmen
know the hopelessness Of insisting
upon improved conditions or raised
incomes when industry itself Is not
making money Secretary Roper,
questioned with respect to the prob
able significance of these disturb
ances and their influence upon gen.
eral conditions had this interesting
comment to make:
Il cannot believe that present emo
tional conditions in some labor
groups will be as disturbing in the
next six months as they have been
in the first half Of this year. That
is my faith in the efficacy OF the con.
ference method for settling labor dis
putes. Let US hope that the clear
ing of the atmosphere through the
better understanding and utilization
of the Wagner act will result In Z
more stable relationship. Labor on
the one hand is acquainted with It's
financial losses incident to enforced
cessation Of production. and indus
trial management Is conscious Of the
need for working out employment
| problems in the interest of social
justice and uninterrupted production
schedules. Thus. there is mutual
recognition of mutually harmful re-
suits from procedures that ignore the
conference method Of discussing and
adjusting differences"
SECRETARY ROPER, in an inter-
view, commented freely upon
present economic conditions, stressing
the danger, now apparently averted,
of an immoderately fast forward move
ment Of business activity, without due
consideration Of factors Of temporary
and passing character.
