Tho railroads ure Buffering from undermnliitunnnru and lnade- quulo equipment, and aro unable to meet the demands of business. 3. Farm products are selling too low at the farm and too high ul tho distributing centers. A. The country has Increased Its gold supply more than $1,000,000, 000 during tho last two years und this has tended to increase specu lation and unnatural expansion oi business. 6.

"Owing to tho restrictions on lm migraiion nnd tho general resump tion of industrial activity, the coun try Is ulrendy suffering from a rrar clly of lubor which Is embarrassing some lines of business and leading; to higher wngo scales where lower were expected a year or two ago.
