IMPROVEMENT NOTED IN BANK, . LABOR CIRCLES Industrial Situation Improves Through Wage Readjustments and Lower CostsT" DISCOUNT PESSIMISM Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MOMIOK. NEW YORK, Sept. s—At the close of the week’s trading on Friday, there was nothing In the market that was more pronounced than the prevalence of pessimism in professional circles. To the averaga trader in stocks, this la most convincing. To the student who follows the history of market movements, there is nothing that is less so. Professionals do not make markets, although they may; be responsible for minor fluctuations They try to follow markets, and it is in ! their constant effort to keep step with , the tendency that they make lose fortunes. Hob psychology plays Its part with j professionals, as well as with the outside public. The contagion of pessimism or j optimism guides their operations far j more than Independent and , individua': analysis. ARE PESSIMISTIC. These general observations are by way 1 of preface to a setting forth of the market Tlews of the “talent" on the floor of the stock exchange and in some of th' leading brokerage concerns. These gen ttemen do not believe an advance is possible except as an ephemeral or passing wSr While they admit the presence of | cOaJtructlve factors In the situation, they are inclined to minimize their Influence from a market standpoint. The element? which they believe will be dominant might be enumerated as follows: Improbability of essential legislation by Congress. In fact, it is believed taxation revision will be neglible in its beneficial effects and that the tariff legisla- i tion will be a barrier In the path of world recovery. It Is believed numer- ' ous commercial failures of magnitude will have to take place. Another bugbear is labor trouble and labor unrest and the unsettlement incident to wage reductions and widespread unemployment. Probably most important of all is the depressant it is believed will be supnlled by another orgy of selling late in the year ‘‘to establish losses.” This process, It is argued, will he a feature in every year where there are losses to i establish. The “chart players” arc among the most rampant of the bears. They argue that no decline ever term!- ■ nated where the lines on the graph showed merely a disheartening drop with feeble rallies. Until those lines record e sharp and almost perpendicular drop, the chart fiend would be violating all tu principles of the art if he bought >der the delusion the depression was i> ’ no end. IMPROVEMENT i-> x'muW LINEB. Undoubtedly this array makes out a powerful case for market pessimists. It is, nevertheless, worth while to note Improvement in our banking situation, improvement in the industrial situation through wage adjustments and lowered costs of production. A most unexpected and welcome change has been wrought in the status of a large portion of our agricultural population through the rice in cotton and the growing strength of the grain markets. There are many good judges of price movements in wheat, who predict $2 a bushel, for this commodity before another crop begins to move to market. Sooner or later these factors and many others of a favorable nature will assert themselves, and it remains to be seen 1 whether the recovery necessarily must be preceded by the earth-shaking collapse predicted by the professional market element.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. COURSE OF NATURE TO DETERMINE WAGES Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By C. B. EVANS. CHICAGO, Sept. s.—The reduction in working forces and wages in the West is perhaps as pronounced as in the East except in those industries, such as building In Chicago, in which illicit agreements between employers and employed exist, and the worker accepts smaller compensation with good grace generally, for he has been wiser in the main than the man expecting to make a million dollars who has failed because he stayed in the game too long. Seemingly It Is only a few *vfcbor leaders that deny the necessity for reduction in wages. Others fatuously declare that there Is no such necessity and undertake to hold up wages by talking too much. What the levels of wages and prices should be, or shall be, is not for Mr. Gompers or Mr. Morgan to say, but is in the conrse of nature, Including the mental processes of many hundred million persons. The little pimple of a day lost in wages to the workers of this country, as set forth by Mr. Gompers, is serious enough to the few who suffer from it. but is only one trick of fate among the multitude that mankind is suffering at the present time. The little lotion of Mr. Gomper's oratory is not even a palliative. The thing must run its course. No design of men or multitude can change it, hnt the combined activities of mankind, responsive to self-interest, will achieve. Complaint, grievance, remedy dictate by theory, antagonism of classes, obstruct. Mr. Gomper3, Mr. Morgan equally, must bow. Mr. Conant, Mr. Eieberling. have bowed with a vengeance; the stock market has bumped its forehead on the marble floor of the exchange. The bowing and bumping are not over. COMPETING INTERESTS WILL DETERMINE. Nor is it in the power of a labor leader or a financier to put wages or prices np or down. That is effected by the attrition of competing interests. An employer raises wages when he needs Ttrure men and a shortage compels higher figures, and he reduces wages when the supply is excessive. He acts from selfish motives, as does the worker when he demands more pay. These motives and actions are modified to some extent on both sides by considerations of good will, but in the main they are the controlling forces. The same principle of demand and supply applies to the rate of interest. There is just as much selfishness in the making of the rental on capital as in other business operations but the men of whom Mr. Morgan is a type are as incapable of creating an 8 per cent market when conditions call for 4 per cent as Mr. Gompers is of inflating wages with his oratory. The statement of Mr. Gompers that wages were reduced before prices were reduced is incorrect. The average wholesale price of 100 articles went off 40 per cent before there was any reduction in wages except some small cutting here and there. MORE PLEA THAN FACT. The cost of living has declined somewhat, but there appears still to be a wide discrepancy between wholesale and prices. Retail merchants say this due in part to the still unreduced cost of the labor they employ. This in many cases is more plea than fact. A retailer, disposed to be extortionate, has a greater leverage than a wholesaler, for he ts selling goods to persons in the main not good judges of their quality land value. The cost of living certainly 'has not declined proportionately to the |Sertiei tm the wholesale prices tret that

is partly because of the small decline In wages. We may or may not reach the price levels prevailing before the war. We certainly cannot do so without further reduction In wages. The claim that reductions would further curtail ou- domestic purehaiing power, and more factories would close because the people had not the money to buy their products, Is specious on the face of it, but one might reply that reduction of wages to a certain level would bring back most of the men now unemployed because the manufacturers could then afford to make goods and at the lower prices there would be plenty of buyers. Wages must take their part in the grand readjustment.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. PARADE OPENS CELEBRATION OF LABOR DAY (Continued From Page One.) terers, wood and metal lathers, roofers, elevator constructors and electrical workers. SIXTH DIVISION LED BY MOLDERS. H. L. Wright commanded the sixth division which consisted of molders, foundry employes, metal polishers, stove mounters, pattern makers, tailors, barbers, sawsmiths, cereal beverage and j soft drink workers, cigarmakers, boot j and shoe workers, broom and whiskbr >m makers, stenographers and bookkef pers and retail clerks. The last division was headed by Wil- j Ham Peacock. It included machinists, I machinists helpers, drop forgers, street j car men, milk wagon drivers, teamsters, ! chauffeurs, bakery wagon drivers, elec- j tfieal workers, bottle blowers and butchers. Elaborate preparations have been j made for the bail tonight. A committee of twenty-five is in charge. NO PARADE IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, Sept. s.—Owinj to the acute unemployment situation and the i disinclination of union men to spend money on non-essentials, the Labor day parade, for years chief event of the day, was dispensed with today. “We took a referendum and the unions voted about fifty-fifty,” said John Sullivan, president of the Central Trades and Labor Council. “In view of the vote it was decided it would be better not to have the parade.” DAVIS SPEAKS IN DETROIT DETROIT, Sept. s.—“ Labor day dawns on a situation that calls to every loyal American for the best thought, the mightiest effort and the strongest faith he can summon,” Secretary of Labor James J. Davis declared here oday a a Labor day celebration on Belle Isle. “This year Labor day must be dedicated. first of all, to meeting human need of the idle,” the labor secretary said. DISCUSS LABOR ISSUES IN CAPITAL WASHINGTON, Sept. s.—Settlement of threatening labor troubles and the ending of unemployment were the Labor day objectives of the Administration. While parades and pageants marked thf celebration of Labor day in many cities some of the best minds in Washington were at work to put industry on a solid footing and thus relieve the unemployment situation. They were encouraged by the announcement of the Labor Department that unemployment had decreased slightly during the last month. There are fewer strikes this Labor day than last. Labor Department figures showed. The mine warfare in West Virginia ha been halted and a permanent peace In that district will be sought by the Seuat< committee soon to go there. EXPECT TO AVERT RAILROAD TROUBLE. Threatened trouble in the railroad and packing industry will bo averted, officials here are confident. Labor leaders adjured their follower? to stand fast in the face of the demoral iring Influence of unemployment. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, called on ; organized labor for a supreme effort to i increase its membership to 3,000,000 and demonstrate Its strength and solidarity. Reactionary employers still aro pur- ! suing destructive tactics, Gompers said I but they slowly learning that Ameri i can workers cannot be daunted by the j crushing power of wealth. President Harding. Secretary Hoover and others of his Cabinet, and Congress men are looking for a way out of the unemployment problem. Harding has called , a conference to remedy tho situation and j Hoover is actively at work In u search ; for representative members of the dele | gation. NATIONAL GUARD HEADS PARADE DES MOINES, lowa, Sept. S. —Fot the first time in Deg Moines’ history, National I Guardsmen headed the Labor day parade here today. Twelve thousand members of organized labor were led through the streets by a battaUon of lowa striplings in uniform. Wfaen brought the Hon and lamb to gether. The women’s division of the union laborltes was given the entire first section of the parade and their sons enrolled In lowa guards, led tho paradf through the streets on request of the women. BELIEVES TAX AMENDMENT IS TO BE DEFEATED (ConHno.d From Fa,, 0n,.) ] resolutions have been introduced In the | Legislature to amend the constitution, I ’out they have been defeated with the | exception of two occasions. | “The people of Indiana have been very j conservative in dealing with the proposed amendments. Generation after generation seem to have taken the position that the constitution is all right as It stands. Efforts have been made at various times to have it amended to include the in-' itiative, the referendum, the recall and other radical propositions. All of these proposals have been defeated and the constitution Is practically the same as when It was adopted nearly three-quarters of a century ago. This unbroken conservatism ou the part of the people is expected to have a great deal of influence in the election next Tuesday. On these occasions their slogen hag been ‘let well enough alone’ so far as the constitution is concerned and It is somewhat on that account that the predictions are made that the rax amendments will be defeated. “The big question Involved in the taxation discussion is whether the Legislature should bo permitted to enact a system of taxation without a constitutional limitation. The opponents of tha wide open amendment, Uke exGovernor Ralst**, ex-Governor Durbin, Mr. Sims and others, say that a wide open amendment would throw down the bars so there would be no appeal from the action of the Legislature on the taxation question. They argue that removal of the constitutional limitations is a step which should not be taken. “The opposition to tho income tax Is largely on the grounds that it will only Increase taxation and would result In the expenditure of more money for the reason that more money would be collected.-

Republican nominee for mayor, 3547 East Washington street, Friday evening, were going forward today. Some of Mr. Shank’s advisers thought it would be inadvisable to hold the' meeting, which was postponed from last Friday because of rain. These leaders believed that* with the regular speaking campaign opening Sept. 15, the lawn party this week would be a waste of effort. My. Shank, however, overrode all objections and ordered that the party be held. “X promised those folks who came to my home last Friday night through all that rain that the meeting would be held next Friday night and It has got to bo held,” declared Mr. Shank.
