Pacc-scttcr in this industrial en-

of skilled labor can prevent these
industries from breaking all previous

Railroad Revival.
The next few months may well
see the railroads pull themselves
out of the doldrums for the first time
in ten years. Rail traffic is almost
sure to reach new highs since the
big depression" set in. Railroad
earnings will be the best since 1880
and there will be openings for thous-
ands of railroad workers. The rail
road revival may be short-livcd
however. Electric power plants, tex
tile mills, lumber camps, copper,
lead, and iron mines, truck factories,
should all get their cut" of expand
ing activity.
Home-builders should handle a
fourth again dis many Jobs as in
the late months of 1889 With fac
tories frantically pushing expansion
plans, many industrial contractors
should see their business doubled.
Building costs are expected to move
upward, too, but less than per cent.
Real estate values and activity will
improve noticeably, especially around
ShipyardS and in other areas where
the defense program is concentrated.
Rents for factories. offices. and single
houses may be little firmer.
More Real Jobs.

such as is now in prospect nonans
