Retail Volume
Still Above 40

Retail sales this week suffered
from the continued heat wave. and
declined approximately three per
Gent in most lines from the pre-
vious week, although volume re-
manned considerably higher than
for the same period in 1910, says
Dun and Bradstreet Inc.
Most merchants report July
sales slightly below June's figures.
but al the same time ahead OF
July. 1910. with gains this year
ranging from 10 20 per cent.
Wholesale volume followed APP
lproximately the same trend. with
July sales showing an appreciable
gain over the comparable period
in 1910. Retailers continue 10 place
substantial orders for Fall mer-
chandise. In a few staple lines,
demand has exceeded the available
supply. and deliveries consequently
have been slow.
Collections during July, both re-
tail and wholesale, were 5 per
cent above the same period in
1910. and most merchants re-
ported satisfactory payments on
the whole.

Back to the mines was the order
of the day in the soft coal industry
following a months idleness occa-
stoned by a wage dispute.
Southern mine operators and
officers Of the c. I. o. United Mine
Workers agreed yesterday on tenn
porary wage schedules, including a
basic increase of 81 a day, which
permitted immediate resumption
of coal digging. Northern operators
had predicted their arrangements
with the union earlier, and half the
Northern mines already were at
work
Spokesman for the Southern pro-
ducers predicted that two-thirds of
their mines would be in production
again today. Negotiations looking
toward more permanent operating
agreement are to be resumed in New
York May II.

differential which gives Northern

miners 40 cents day more than
Southern coal workers.
In this connection, Secretary of
Commerce Jones, in a press con-
ference yesterday, advocated read
juStment of coal freight rates in
the South. Southern operators con-
tend that under existing freight
rates, they would be at a competi-
tive disadvantage with Northern
mines if the wage differential were
eliminated.
