Auto Sales Increasing
The motor car market In Shanghai
is showing signs of recovery, accord
ing to dispatches from Trade Commis
sioner Hoyt. The representative- of one
of the largest automotive manufactur
ers in the United States has reported!
that late sales have been better than
any time in the past eight months,
which is particularly encouraging as
business has been dull-in all lines.
The greatest demand he reports is for
medium-priced passenger cars.

Belgian Market Active
The number of motor vehicles in
the Province of Antwerp has steadily
'increased during the past year, states
Vice Consul Smith, in a report to the
Department of Commerce. The pres
ent registration ot 4,800 passengen
cars and trucks being' 60 per cent overt
that of a year ago, and the 2,800 mo
torcycles showing an increase of 250
per cent. Although there has been
little demand in the past for modern,'
garage equipment, the writer believes
that American labor-saving devices
should find a ready market in Belgium;
in the future. '"There Is an active
demand for all kinds of accessories,
which American manufacturers should
meet by giving their agencies to in
dependent dealers rather than to gar
age owners or distributors, who as a
rule only sell to their old customers
and do not cover the assigned terri
tory."
Consul Moffitt, Rangoon, inreporting
to the Department of Commerce, says
that this is largely due to the fact that
the market has been glutted with mo
tor cars and that the amount of good
roads has not been materially increas
ed during the past year. The condi
tion of existing roads he declares, how
ever, does not militate against the
sala of motorcycles for which there is
a large market in Burma.
WAGES IN MIDDLE WEST
GO UP: MEN ARE SCARCE
CHICAGO, Aug. 24. Wages are go
ing up throughout the Middle West,
and for the first time in two years
there is an actual shortage of labor.
With the posting of notices announc
ing an hourly increase of six cents for
labor in the Chicago steel district, 30
other companies in the metal indus
tries announced increases of 7 to lb
per cent. The increases covered skill
ed as well as common labor.
Even the farmer facing questionable
transportation conditions for his bump
er crops is in the market for more
help, and is offering better wages tha
last spring.' This agricultural demand
is not a seasonal or harvest proposi
tion, but is founded on the firm belief
that as soon as the railroad strike is
over . industrial conditions will boom
so markedly that even farm commod
ity prices will be affected, it is stated.
Conditions in Illinois, which are re
ported to be indicative of most other
Central West states, show that there
are now less than 100 men for every
100 jobs, -a condition unknown since
the bottom fell out of the post-war in
dustrial inflation.
.With wages in the steel industry for
common labor scheduled for an in
crease September 1, it is predicted
generally that the railroad labor board
will rescind the reductions for 350,000
common railroad laborers, reduced to
as low as 28 cents an hour, July 1.

New ElecMc
A new type of electric cyclecar has
been placed on the Japanese market.
according to a report received at the
Department of Commerce, from Con
sul Dickover, Kobe. This car, which
is assembled in Osaka from parts
mostly manufactured in Germany, al
though some parts of the bodies are
made in Japan, is covered by German
and Japanese patents and is produced
at present in one-seater models. The
motor is a one-half horsepower elec
tric engine of a reversible type and
may be charged by the ordinary elec
tric current through a transformer. It
would appeal that the advantages of
small size and economical operation
would render car of this kind very
popular but as yet none of them have
been seen on the streets.

HENRY FORD LAYS
BLAME IN STRIKE
ON WALL STREET
DETROIT, Aug. 26. Industry, the
country over, must uirow up iu
hands" in surrender," within a few
weeks, if the rail and coal strikes con
tinue, Henry Ford declared today ia
announcing the decision of the Ford
Motor company to close its plants
here and in many other citiesSeptem ,
ber 16, because of the fuel situation.
Mr. Ford held financial interests
responsible for the industrial tie-up,
declaring the "money barons" were
manipulating the labor unions and
that public officials were impotent
in the crisis.
The strikes would end, he contin
ued, "when the majority of the peo
ple are cold and hungry enough to rw
sort to drastic action."
The present hindrances to the econ
omic life of the nation is due simply
to the greed and avarice of Wall
street," Mr. Ford asserted, ' adding
that these interests dominated the
railroads, coal mines and public util
ities of the country."
' The deadlock in strike negotiations
indicated, he declared, the existence
of a "plot to unload the demoralized
ment at their own price and to mulct
and rundown railroads on the govern-.
the people through excessive coal
prices.".
On hundred and five thousand em
ployes of the Ford Motor company
throughout" the country will be witn
out jobs after September 16. In ad
dition, several thousand other work
ers employed in industries furnishing
materials for the Ford plants will be
affected.
The announcement was the most
severe blow that industrial Detroit
has sustained since the industrial de
pression of two years ago. It means,
acording to Mr. Ford, that 75,000 men
employed in the Highland Park, Riv
er Jtouge and JJearoom plants or tne
copany here will be without work.
Thirty thousand others will be
thrown out of employment.

Motor Vehicles in Japan
The comparatively large number of
motor vehicles in use in the Republic
of Panama and the Canal Zone is due
principally to the activities connected
with the Panama Canal, and also the
extensive use of motor vehicles for
hire in Panama City and Colon and
the ' adjacent sections of the Canal
Zone, says Consul Orr, Panama, in
report to the Department of Com
merce. The official registration
the Republic of Panama is given as
731 passenger cars, 59 trucks, and 23
motorcycles, while in the Canal. Zone
there are 1,323 passenger cars and
motor trucks combined (the number
of each being about equal) and 363
motorcycles. Official cars make up
658 of the registration in the Canal
Zone and are owned by the Panama
Canal, the Panama Rilroad and the
United States Army and Navy. There
are hardly more than 10 of the total
registration which are not of Amer
ican make.
One Man Killed In
Explosion; Three
Structures Razed
MUSKOGEE, Okla., Aug. 25. A gas
explosion in a drug store at Haskell,
Okla., near here today resulted in the
death of Ezra Dickey, 22, and the
complete destruction of three store
buildings and a hotel. Property loss
was estimated at $70,000. It was fear
ed that .others would be found dead
when the debris was cleaned up.
A match cast into a gas main caused
the explosion. The rear wall collaps
ed. buryingvDickey beneath the debris.
So scarce was the water supply7 of
the city that the fire gained headway
and for a time it was feared that the
whole business district would be con
sumed by flames.

Automobiles in Chihuahua
In spite of the general business de
pression and the lack of good roads
in the Chihuahua district, the 650
passenger automobiles in use at the
end of June, 1922, represent an in
crease of 100 per cent over the pre-
ceedinir vear. Consul J. B. Stewart
o table increase is
due to settled political conditions in
all narts of the state and to the estaD
lishment by an American firm of the
first automobile sales agency using
American methods, by means of which
nmmwHvn nurchasers are enaoiea;
to obtain their cars without making
a snenial triD to the United States;
The sales of low-priced light motors
others but there has been a oeciaea
have greatly outnumbered those or all
tendency during th past six months
toward the heavier and higher-priced
cars.

Quiberon bay with the loss of three
lives early today. The warship,

PORTLAND, Aug. 25: Lews Snell,
25, and his father, P. Snell, were both
badly burned and their combination
home, filling station and grocery store,
at 153 West Willamette boulevard,
damaged by fire to the extend, of
about $3000 yesterday afternoon when
a home-made blow torch they were
using exploded.
They rigged up a ten-gallon gaso
line can under pressure and attached
a blow torch nozzle to it by means of
a long hose. The hose blew off as
they were doing some brazing and the
air pressure sent the gasoline all ov
er the men and the room.
Lewis Snell was seriously burned
on both hands and arms. He is in
Good Samaritan hospital -and a skin
grafting operation may have to be
made. P. Snell was badly burned
about the face and a physician's serv
ices were necessary.
The living quarters at the rear s
the store were a total loss and the
store was badly damaged.

SALMON PACK IS SHORT
OF MARK SET IN 1921
ASTORIA, Aug. 25. The 1922 sal
mon season ended at noon today. The
aggregate pack figures, compiled from
statistics gathered from the various
salmon canneries, is fixed at 258,000
full cases. The mild cured salmon!
will run 1450 tierces.
The pack is somewhat smaller than
last year. In point of value,' it ia the
poorest in many seasons, being about
$3,500,000, or $500,000 less than last
year's pack. The amount of mild cur
ed fish put, up is only about half that
of last year.
The salmon pack in 1921 aggregated
276,000 full cases, and its value ex
ceeded $4,000,000. While the number
of cases of salmon packed this year
is not greatly below that of U21, the
difference in the market value is ac
counted for by the fact that a much
smaller proportion of the 1922 pack is
chinooks.
The chinook salmon this year were
scarce, while bluebacks were plenti
ful. These served to bolster the. vot- .
ume of the 1922 pack, but could not
raise its quality and value as high as
if chinooks had taken their places.
The pack of chinooks is perhaps 68,000
cases short.
