year, according to the federal re
serve board' monthly review.
pomt activities were noted but
romraeree apparently was waiting
further developments before m av
ion toward anything like normal.
Automobiles, textiles and foot
gear, experienced temporary ad
Tinees, due to the spring season.
t Reports from reserve banks

ties Indicate that the cry of the
farmers for. labor is being an

facts in some way or other. Iet
us have a conference of business
men, contractor, labor leader
and material men and let the facts
be presented in all these lines by
those who speak with authority.
Let there be fair and full con
ference, and after that if the
building trades will not lower
their soale of wages let us know
just where the community stands.
The community cannot go for
ward as it should unless there is
a full understanding and a full
adjustment.
