1t is significant that industrial

There seems to be uniformity of
opinion to the effect that a lop-
sided war boom probably will be
experienced in this country in the
period ahead of us, regardless of
what happens abroad. Record pro-
duction, stimulated employment,
and increasing wage rates insure
the highest level of income pay
ments in ten years, but curtailed
foreign farm markets will cause
farm income gains to trail urban
increases.

BUSINESS REVIEW BY
TRADE TERNDS
Defense Industries Push
Business Activities to
Record High Level

At the beginning of 1910 it was
stated that any forecast regarding
the course of business would be
foolhardy and probably wide of the
years actual results. A rather sharp
decline in production was under
way, output in the closing months
Of 1889 having advanced much more
rapidly than had total consumption.
Large inventories, especially of
goods, were being liquidated in
the early months of the year and
it was felt that domestic industry
was more than ever dependent on
markets within this country for it's
outlets.
This condition prevailed until
June. At that time the downfall of
France and the subsection of
Great Britain to severe attack.
brought this nation to sudden
realization of it's precarious position
so far as defense was concerned.
British war purchases had to be
transferred to this country because
of the destruction of part of it's
own manufacturing facilities and
the need for certain war materials
in much larger volume than had
been counted upon in the early
months of the war campaign.
Embarkation of the u. S. upon
one of the most far-reaching pro-
grams ever undertaken to create
a defense machine of unprecedent-
ed size, and the furnishing of large
quantities of war supplies to Great
Britain caused an unusually sharp
business upswing to get under way
at mid-year. Not only did activity
in those lines directly affected by
the defense program and war buy
ing increase sharply. but even in
industries remotely connected with
defense there was considerable for
ward buying. Anticipating a war
boom, and realizing that deliveries
of certain materials would be de-
layed, caused firms to order well
in advance of requirements. Manu-
facturers' untitled orders rose to
record-high levels in the last
quarter of the year. Inventories did
not show a corresponding increase.

American women are giving wide

it was announced by John H.

Perhaps on the theory that mech
anized troops do not need to be so
husky, the minimum height and
weight of American soldiers has
been again decreased. The former
minimum height was 5 feet, 4 in
ches, now reduced to 5 feet. For
many years the minimum weight
was 1913 pounds; later 115 pounds
and now 105 pounds for drafted
men.

ORIGIN OF SHELLFISH
SHIPMENTS CHECKED
Dr.. Riley Explains SAM.
tary Supervision of
Oyster Industry

Regulations issued by the Z. S.
Public Health Service concerning
the certificatiOn of shipments of
oysters, CLANS, and musseIs, are
brought to the attention of local
health authorities and shellfish
dealers in Maryland. by DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director Of the State Health
Department, at the request of
Surgeon General Thomas Parran
Of the L. S. Public Health Service
Local health authorities are urged
to check the sources of shipments
and make sure % that the shippers
are certified and GU that the
shipping tag bears proper informa-
ton as to the source of the Oys-
terS.
Sanitary supervision Of the Oys-
ter industry, Dr. Riley explained.
is under the charge of the State
Department of Health. Because of
the wide distribution of shellfish
products from Maryland concerns,
Federal requirements for inter-
state commerce as we'll as the State
regulations must be met. The
plants that meet these requirements
are duly certified for both State and
interstate shipments, after inspec-
ton by the State Bureau Of Food
and Drugs. A certificate number is
assigned to each plant.
These certificates are for
single season, only, and must be
renewed each year before the sea
son opens. The certificates are not
interchangeable.
The U. S. Public Health Service
specifies that shucked oysters and
CLANS shall not only be packed in
approved containers, but that the
containers which bear the certifi-
cate number of the shipper shall
be sealed in such a manner that
tampering is easily discernible
Shipments shall be tagged or
labelled in such way as to show
the name and address of the con-
signee, the name and address of
the shipper, the name Of the state
and the certificate number of the
shipper. Use of containers bearing
the shipping number of another
shipper is prohibited.
The Federal regulations specify
further that containers holding
shell stock shall be Unidentified by
a uniform tag or label containing
in addition to the information list
ed above, the date of dredging,
date of shipment, or of reshipment
and name of the local waters from
which the shellfish were taken. The
stub Of the tag shall not be removed
from any package of shell stock,
until all of the contents Of such
packages have been removed.
List of shellfish shippers certi-
fled by State and Federal authori-
ties are available to local health
on request. from the

Rourke Favors Move To Have Fed. Government

A recent meeting of the Advisory Council for the Administration of the State Unemployment Compensation Act in Hartford, considered the fol- lowing question: Should the National Government federalize the admins tration of unemployment compensation or should 1t remain a State matter :? President Roosevelt's move to fed eralize the administration of the So- cia1 Security Act has melted much discussion around the question.
 William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, is ex- pected to call a meeting of all A.F.L. legislative agents to consider the prob lem.
 ROURKE SEES BENEFITS
 Joseph T. Rourke, business agent of Local B-9O, and a mem- Der Ot the advisory council, calls attention to the fact that there are 48 different State laws mak- ing for duplication and expendi- ture. He contends that federal ization would standardize bene- fits and cut down administrative 
 costs achieving the model eff ciency of the old age pension administration. The national government has ben forced to take over the administration of
 the act in Arizona and other
 States.

 GIVE REPORTS
 Prior to the nominations, reports were heard from the business agents. Borzain and Allen have signed the Norwalk Construction Company in Norwalk to union agreement cover ing the drivers and helpers. Allen in his report dealt with negotiations now pending with contracts expected in the next week. He also stressed the appeal tor unity made by International Rep resentative Harry Jennings.
 Johnny Pisano made a fight ing report in which he promised that no employers would be per- mitted to ''cut cOrners.' They would be held strictly under contract" Johnny didn't mince words. He also reminded the membership ''to respect all A.F.L. picket lines."
 COMPLETE COOPERATION
 Johnny told about the Locals af- filiation with the New Haven Build ing Trades Council which is on record for complete cooperation with the teamsters. They are at present att tempting to negotiate a contract with the Elm City lumber contractors. They told the men that Manufacturers Ex- press twill go by the blue book the same as Goodman's."

I Remember
 By Richard E.. CrOskey
 Local 4O4 Cooks & Walters Union

We Oldtimers in the labor move ment sometimes encountered situ- atiOns that are almost unbelievable and one has to go through them to believe such things are possible in this Land of the Free.'' I re- call the second week in July, 1904, when union men were packed in jails and ''bulIpens'' and many shipped on trains out of the State.
 THIRTEEN KILLED
 As I have related previously, there had been an explosion under the shan ty known as the Independence De- pot" and some 13 men had been blown to death. To set the picture, it is per- haps necessary to explain the politi- cal situation at that time. The Dem ocrats and Populists had gotten into a tangle at the election for State of- fcials and had refused to put up a Fusion ticket. Both parties had can didates in the field, with the result that the old reactionaries elected their man, James Peabody, Republican, for governor. The result was that the militia had been sent into the Cripple Creek district. Backed by them, the mine owners and some business men opposed to labor, used this explosion as a pretext to remove the regular county officials and substitute men of their own choosing to fiji the office of sheriff, etc. Many thugs had been imported into the district and, as the decent members of the militia served their time of enlistment, these thugs were inducted into the National Guard for a quite obvious purpose.
