*THE R/VSSING OF INDUSTRIAL
UNREST
j —— -
That the er^}s Of industrial unrest
in this country h3** b£bn passed and
that better business conditions may
be anticipated from now on is the
view taken by the National Bank of
Commerce in New York, in its Market
Letter in the December issue of its
magazine Commerce ^onthly. The
ban?! V»int-§ to t*e failure of the steel
strike, the yielding of the coal miners
to the constituted authority, and the
plans for deporting dangerous aliens
as signs of better days.
‘/As a result of the coal strike/’ the
bank says, “the production of bitumi
nous coal has been greatly curtailed.
In the week ending November 8 less
than a third as much coal was mined
as the average for the four weeks
ended October ,3. October pig iron
production was only 1,868,558 gross
tons, the smallest monthly output
since February, 1915. It will be some
time' before production reaches the
1 pvp! cittQirioH liofAro tVio utril/n TTS'ir* I
naces in blast on November 1 had a i
daily capacity of 65,625 gross tons, as i
compared with 50,100 tons on October
1, 1919, and 113,500 on November 1,
1918.
♦
“Production of crude petroleum in
September, the latest month for which
statistics are available, made a new
record—34,487,000 barrels. Wool con-!
sumption for September was 60,000,-1
000 pounds, grease equivalent. This is
the highest monthly consumption for
$tny month in this year excepting July,
wrhen 63,000.000 pounds were con
sumed. Cotton consumption in Octo- j
her was 64,031 bales over the preced- j
ing month, being 555,344 running hales,
exclusive of linters. There were more
active cotton spindles reported in Oc
tober than ever before. Building con
tracts awarded for the month of Oc
tober were higher than for any pre
ceding month of the current year.
Activity ig reported in the de
mand for practically all grades o'
merchandise, and the customary -
crease in retail business prece - £
holidays is felt to an even A** Ok
nou - . - greater de
_fvrnn usual.
Summarizing ^ rentii'e situation
furnishes no tor discourage
ment, ant ^ fjv^ms 'likely that better
condlt iiiay now be anticipated for
ea%ft Ktltdeeding month.”

LABOR PROBLEM
ISSUE BEFORE
LEGISLATURE
——— ♦ — ..
TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 2 (by Associ
ated Press).—Preparatory to the
meeting of the Kansas legislature in
special session next Monday, mem
bers of that body have under consid
eration numerous plans for a state
law which will meet the requirements
of the present industrial situation,
brought to an acute head by the coal
strike. Governor Harry J. Allen, in
his proclamation calling the special
session, has asked the legislature to
formulate some method whereby dis
putes between employes and employ
ers in essential industries may be set
tled without a complete curtailment
of production, caused by strikes or
lockouts, pending a settlement of the
disputes. Arbitration of these dis
putes, Governor Allen declared, has
proven inadequate. Some other plan,
in the operation of which neither nartv
to the dispute shall have a final voice,
must be devised, he stated.
The administration legislative pro
gram as proposed will include three
dominant policies. Preliminary, an
industrial court will be urged, it is
said, with a possibility that the legis
lature may undertake the establishing
of such an institution itself, and also
recommend such as a solution of the
current problem on a national basis.
Profiteering laws will be second.
Recourse by the public may be se
cured through a bill providing for *a
juty determination of profits. An
other course in this pJ^icular may be
through a commission or liceu-se sys~
tem to retailers and affecting trades- ]■
inert* middlemen and producers.
A third provision considered of vital
importance is for a new workmen’s
compensation law. A commission
was appointed by the governor, at
the request of the last legislature,
which met the first part of this year,
to investigate the operation of the
present workmen’s compensation act
and to report recommendations for its
revision or for the passage of a new
Inur
"T |
Hope that the interests of the gen
eral public will be fully considered
by the legislature is seen in
that its personnel includes a wide va
riety of trades and professions, with
men of agricultural interests predomi
nant.
