AMERICAN OUTLOOK IS BRIGiST While Manufasturing Establishments In the United States Are Increasing Their Payrolls, Distress Among tho Unemployed Prevails Througlic-S Great Britain and the European Con tinent. [Special Correspondence.] New York. Oct. 13. That the recent financial panic from which the United States is now re covering was not the result of local conditions is fndieated by the fact that a severe business and industrial depression for months has prevailed, throughout the world. The United States has suffered lesa than any other country. In fact, the situation in this country is not to be compared to that abroad. Official reports recently received by the department of commerce and lab .r furnish an accurate index to the busi ness conditions of foreign countries. These reports show that the imports into the United Kingdom for home consumption and the exports of do mestic manufacture have declined greatly. The situation there grows worse. In August the decline in exports was 18.7 per cent. The decline in re exports, that is goods imported from other countries for sale to foreig i purchasers, was $67,532,420 for eight months this year, or over 20 per cent. The falling off in net imports was $137,079,572 for the same time. The decline in exports of domestic manu facture in that country was $146,000,- 000, or 10.6 per cent, in eight month.-., about 2 per cent greater than the de cline in the United States in the same time. Many Unemployed Abroad. Pauperism has increased enormous ly in the United Kingdom this year, and the number of persons receiving indoor relief is the greatest since the records began in 1868. A census of the unemployed, taken by the newspapers, shows an extra ordinary number —over 22,000 in Glas gow alone. The Ix)ndon Times says that the outlook is "the worst that the younger men have faced," adding: "The dominant fact is that there is ao life in shipbuilding, and no prt::-- pect of any revival. The railway shon3 have rut down their staffs; 50 pe.- cent of the masons are out of work, and 25 per cent of the plumbers." IWar-.y Seek Charity. A Blue Cook of the British govern ment shows that nearly 1,000,000 per sons were receiving relief on Jan. 1. which num'.er has greatly increased since that :i •. In London alone 149,- 000 person- were securing relief —a great number over the previous year. Wages have declined greatly. The London Financial Times, a high authority. <>{ Sept. 19, says: "For th" greater part of the year we hav !:<-e;i passing through a ver;. acute phas' of commercial depression, and we have seen both imports and ex ports decline at a rate that has been anything but consoling. A review of the business of the principal foreign countries and colonies shows that practically everywhere business is in a very lethargic state. The board of trade returns of the commerce of for eign countries furnishes the necessary figures showing the condition of busi ncss in those countries. "The imports for homo consumption of Belgium for seven months show a decline of nearly $25,000,000. Those of Canada show a decline of 23 per cent, or nearly $40,000,000; France, $25,000,000; Germany, $45,000,000, and so on with other countries. The domes tic exports from those nations also show large declines. The greatest, is thai of Egypt, which for the sev n mo- "hs shows a decline of over 19 per cur. . or nearly $13,000,000. France shows a decline of nearly $35,000,000, or over 6 per cent. Germany's decline in exports is less, but reached a total of about $10,000,000. Japan shows a decline of 12 per cent, or $12,000,000, and Switzerland a decline of 10 per cent, or over $lO >OO,OOO, and so on with other countn ». "The decline in the domestic ex ports of the Unitfcu States is very much less than those from the United Kingdom, and the relative decline was very muc'n less than that of Switzer land, Japan, Egypt, British South Africa, and some other countries. The average decline shown in imports of all the countries was over 12 per cent, and in some exports over 8 per cent The later returns show even worse figures. Generally speaking, therefore, we have abundant proof of the wide spread nature of the present depres sion in trade, and we noed not alar." outselves that we are experiencing any special chastisement in the hands «112 fate."

' The outlook for the winter is the worst that the younger men hav< yet faced. One shipbuilding yard has not a ve on the docks, and another lar,. > one is employing only a third of its lull complement of workmen. The dominant fact is that there is ijo life In shipbuilding, no prospect of a y revival, no orders in sight of any con- Kidcrable magnitude. Therefore it is teared that the winter will be a very hard one. Cautious estimates put the total number of men, Including labor ers, out of work in Glasgow at from 20,000 to 30,000. Yarrow's is the only shipbuilding yard that is fullly em ployed. The largest forge has reduced its staff from 4000 to 2500. The rail way shops have cut down their staffs on account of economies. Fifty per cent of the masons are out of work and 25 per cent of the plumbers. "In the textile trade most of the fac tories are on short time or keeping down their output, so that women's wages are in fact reduced from 18 •hillings ($4.37) a week to 10 shil lings ($2.43). Half of the 4000 dockers are unemployed. The provident so cieties tell rather doleful tales. Life policies are lapsing all around, in short, work is scare and threatens ta become scarcer. Following the exam ple set by the Glasgow Herald, the lord provost has opened a distress fund, and liberal response in being made by the citizens." The New York Journal of Com merce, In Its issue for Sept. 23, re viewing American and British foreign trade, states: Home Conditions Not So Bad. "The falling oIT in American exports In August amounted to only 13.2 per cent, while on the British side there was a decrease of 18.7 por cent. Our own export figures for the eight months as compared with the eight months ending with August, 1907, shov a docreaso of less than 9 per cent. The British figures for the corresponding' period show a decline of 10.5 per cent." From this It will seem that the sit uation is much worse in the United Kingdom and in some other countries than it is in the United States. The British board of trade returns for August show the largest aggregate de crease in trade for any month of the year. The imports fell over $30,000,000 In that month, and the exports about $37,000,000. This enormous decline in trade, the London Times says, "is of much importance to the working classes owing to the enormons number of unemployed." A dispatch says: "With the trade declining in the ilarming manner shown by the above Igures, the outlook for the workers luring the coming winter Is very (loomy. The most serious feature in the point of view of the workingman is the falling oft of exports of manu factured goods." The situation in Germany is much the same, although not quite so bad as In the United Kingdom. The Canadian government, owing to the trade condi tions, has adopted regulations to pre sent immigrants from coming to that ;ountry unless well supplied with !unds. At the recent session of the Canadian Manufacturers' association n Winnipeg, the parliamentary com nittee reported as follows: "The one outstanding feature of the year has been the pinch of hard times which all of us have suffered in a greater or less degree. The London labor bureau of the association ha been closed as a result of the indus trial and financial depression."

HE DEGLIES TO GE GATS' PAW An Official Declaration Which Spreads Consternation Among Men Working In the Interest of Bryan and Which Shows the Temper of the Leaders Who Seek Only to Promote the Cause of Labor and Not Advance Selfish Ends. [Special Correspondence.] Indianapolis, Oct. 13. Samuel Gompers, who has been try ing to swing the labor vote to Bryan, got a severe jolt when he read an official circular issued by T. L. Lewis the national president of the United Mine Workers of America. The Bryan managers have been claiming a big following among the mine workers, but President Lew:- has made It clear that this organiza tion shall not be used to pull the chest nuts out of the fire of men who seel: to work union labor in politics to ad vance their own aims. In this letter, sent out a few days ago by President Lewis, among othe things says: "We are in the midst of a political campaign. Every method known t. political managers will be used to se euro votes for their respective caud: dates. This Is especially true in the gjiempt to obtain expressions from those holding official positions in labor unions. "I am in receipt of hundreds of let ters from men of all shades of political beliefs and from all parts of the Unit ed States, asking for my opinion of the different candidates, or my views upon the issues involved in the politi cal campaign. "The United Mine Workers did not elect me international president to in fluence your political preferences, or how you should cast your vote on elec tion day.
