They exude an optimistic irag xance. The ones now being Issued are no excep tions. If you look be hind them Into the Ilgures you will find actual conditions hardly Justify the strong scent. What has hap ened Is this: PJr the past four mnnm (March. Paul MaUon If M v. 1 1 ( April, May and June) business has been following the usual seasonal trend rather closely on a plane about 75 per cent normal (1923-25). oivuMftj atronfflv point to a little more than a seasonal decline In July nrt Aiunmt. to be followed oy etronger-than-seasonal Improvement In September and October. One reason that official govem- nriMrnnAMmtarS are WaXllUZ 175- 41 in t.viir nfricial statements now Is that the May and June shrinkage in business was no worse man . They hsd expected a stronger decline. The secret of the strength In ln i.if.riAi nrnduetlon is steel. A price increase goes Into effect in July, so the mills have oeen numuiing vo orders before the Increased price is effective. That means a sharp curtail ment of steel production when the increased prices crow ntus. Aut-stmnhH nrnduetlon la EOlns fair Jy well. Figures for June will be down about 10 per cent irom May. me out put In April was 356,000 cars, May 010 nnn ani In .Tuni around 300.000. .mu- i. K.a,,u 4h msnn faefcurers reduced their prices. Tuey ran up against trouble when they tried to put an Increase into effect some weeks ago. The trouble was caused ' mainly by a large manufacturer who refused to go along with the price Increase. The other big Industry, textiles, Is n ivrf riAriina. A 12-week- curtail ment of cotton textile production (25 per cent) wens mwj cucl. Sllx weaving shut down for one week in May. The general level of prices has not and will not change mucn. Tne price of manufactured goods will be off because of Increased competition since the Blue Eagle dulled its talon?. Commodity prices should reach mod erately upward. There will be no governmental ac tion to influence prices materially. No kind of money tampering la seriously contemplated, either by silver buying, devaluation or inflation. The bad note in tne picture is building. No one will believe that, after all h.i pumping and puffing through the PWA and otherwise, the construction industry now Is operating at 25 per cent of normal. Yet that Is the figure. The main reason for It la Increased prices and Increased labor costs, adopted some weeks ago under the code. These cost are already work ing themselves down to a more reas onable level. n-i .rfmn.trnllnn ! trvlnff tO build up the housing program to meet the sltustlon. but, on the Inside everyone realizes that the housing program cannot stimulate the build ing Industry very much this year. It will take months to get the organiza tion set up and working. The June tabulation on building will be out In a few days. It will show a slight decrease from May In the . yalue of contracts awarded. ' The May value wbs H34.000.000, sn increase of 2 per cent over April. Tnls might be considered highly encourag ing were it not for the fact that the increase is due to one big contract privately awarded for Radio City In New York. Generally, construction was off in May. The amount of direct public works and public utilities contracts awarded actually declined 19 per cent In May. That hardly fits In with the speech PWA Director Ickos made a few weeks ago. claiming Increasingly magnifi cent success for his program Of course. Mr. Ickes gets his optt mlstlc figures by counting the amount of money he has advanced to states, municipalities and othera for con atructlon. Much of that money has not been spent and cannot be spent for months. That la the whole secret of the de lay in getting the big 13.000.000.000 PWA fund working. Most of the monev was loaned out and Is now ly ing Idle. Those who got it are unable to start work because they are un able to rail their share of the cost or because their p'-ans were In an em bryo atat when they got the money, or for various other reasons their work hsa been delsyed. . The proof of that deduction Is that f the amount of public wo.-xs contracts let in May was 171 800.000. a decline of 5 per cent from April. .

That the code violates the state constitution by asking private prop erty for public use without Just com pensation. That the state constitution is vio lated by prescribing different terms for licensing restaurants now In op ere, t ion from the rules set down for licensing newcomers in the business That the act Imposes a tax without legislative assembly action. That money Is withdrawn from the state library without legal procedure, That the cod illegally delegates the law-making function of the legists ture to the director of agriculture.

That the act Is vague In not speci fying the plan for determining whether or not a majority of mem bers of the Industry favor it, Restaurant operators said that an effort was being made to show that 75 per cent of the owners are opposed to the code. This percentage would be sufficient to hare the code de clared Inoperative. " BILLS. VETOES 31 WASHINGTON, June 27.
