Hines, the new president. CHICAGO VIEW CONFUSES, BUT BASIS IS SOUND (Continued From Page One.) talnable) unemployment today is lower in this territory than at any time since the first of the yesr. Chicago probably Is the greatest labor market of the world. Its good report of today may be ascribed to the flow of workers to the farms for the harvesting of the crops. Owing to the general depression it is said this movement was greater than usual. When the crops are all gathered there may be a different story to tell, but for the present the fact remains that while there is ldelness there Is less, very much loss than seven months ago, or two months ago. From the highest total of the year—that of January—there appears to be a reduction of nearly 27 per cent. ALSO FAVORABLE FINANCIAL SHOWING. With the Improvement In the employ, ment situation there Is a favorable showing financially. The latest combined statement of the national and State banks Indicates a slight decrease in loans and discounts, a slight Increase In comnierclal deposits, an enlargement of cash resource* and an Increase lr. savings deposits. The savings deposits, which are In excess of $500.000,00u, are not far from the highest record. Here is something bearing npon tbe building situation nationally that is so contrary to general belief that It might be questioned but for the sonree from which the information was received.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1921.
Building permits are not a safe index to the building business. Permits may be obtained and pigeon-holed. But when ■ lullder buys plumbing and other fixture* they are for use. The Crane Company of Chicago is the largest supplier In this line In ths world. It has sixty branches In this country. Twenty-three of these branches show an Increase for this year thus far as against the average for tbe last ten years. Six others are about 1 per cent below tbs ten-year average. The increases in gome of the agencies are quits substantial. The whole business of the company tnus far this year Is up to the ten year average. The cities that show best are Sacramento, Oklahoma City, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Davenport (Iowa), and Minneapolis. HOPE OF SETTLEMENT FOR LABOR STRIFE. What an expansion there would be in construction If the labor difficulty was settled 1 In Chicago there Is hope of adjustment. Avery lnrge amount of work has been hampered by labor strife. Some of the trouble has been what is termed Jurisdiction—that Is, owing to disputes between unions Jealous of each other. Some of It has been owing to attempt to lower costs. On some of the work here union men have received $1.25 an hour—slo a day—and attempt is being made to bring wages down. The bosses are not without sin. They have resorted to practices vile If not unlawful and Judge Landis has been conducting an Inquiry Into the whole affair. He has laid bare the facts In every relation and has been no more sparing of the bosses than the men. It Is the confident belief that much good will result He may not bring the wage scale down so low as Is hoped (In some instances men who got $1.25 an hour are now eager to work at 60 cents), but he Is likely to force tbe unions to do away with rules restrictive of production. Whatever the verdict of this umpire, the situation unquestionably la better. The wrongs /e being laid bare and the feeling la that they will not be continued. Undoubt,>dly there will be more of sanity and common sense in the trade at large. LUMBER QUESTION ALSO PERTINEXT. In this connection the lumber question Is pertinent. Lumber men are not san-

guine of a revival in their industry. Why this Is bola not clear. It is one branch that can com* t.ack regardless of foreign trade. It Is the one major business hurt most by the war having been classed as unessential for some reason hard tc- undt'stand. The Injury due to that ruling was great. The decline In lumber production from 1007, when the total was forty-six billion feet board measurement, to 1020, when production was thirty-two billion feet, would seem to Indicate a tremendous shortage presaging great activity Impossible of long postponement, yet lumber men talk pessimistically. Chicago Is tbe great lumber market of America. Here lumber has been financed for decades. Here It Is controlled today. Undoubtedly high railroad rates operate against lumber, but, while they admit that lower rates will help somewhat, lumber men still maintain a somber view as to tbe future. Fossllly they are right. Perhaps they are wrong. There Is demand Insistent and persistent for lumber and it would seem certain to broaden with improvement generally. High rents must force home bnlldlng. (Much lumber goes Into such construction. The'sJ’ailroada are In urgent need of lumber. Neither the home builder nor the railroads can stay out of the market long. What's more, with improvement in general business, there must come demand for lumber for boxes, which makes a big item in lumber consumption. Wholesale and retail merchandisers and particularly the department stores report a good business. There Is no doubt they have cut prices radically. Shoes, hats, suit# and general furnishings are down to a level that commands attention. The department stores are crowded. The volume of sales Is fully up to that of last yesr, but the money volume Is much lower. NOW ABLE TO LAY FINGER ON ERROR. Talks with leaders In finance and genera lindnstry show a general belief that an error was made Just after the war in stressing the statement that the world was dependent npon this country for goods and that owing to this demand we were to have a tremendous foreign trade. The opinions seems to prevail that the East wag fooled more by this foreign trade possibility than the West. Now the men of the Middle West go to the other extreme apd declare that outside of coal, food stuffs and a few other products, this country cannot expect ranch foreign

trade until the exchange situation la adjusted and the part of wisdom Is for the American to fashion his production on domestic roqutreme ;ts until things clear up abroad for otherwise he will be loaded with a surplus without a market. How long It will take for the exchanges to recover to permit European purchases without too heavy a handicap he ventures no opinion. What he knows is that mlsjudgment of the foreign market cost America billions of dollars directly and wos that cannot be measured In money. He does not intend to make the same mistake again.
