labor situation -nre three encouraging
factors In the report of the Seventh
Federal Rrnerve district, Issued today.
MA most encouraging development of
tbej last month has been a growing ten
dency on the part of the general pub
lic toward thrift," says the report.
"Ever since the armistice was signed
people have been Indulging in n wild
spending orgy, buying only the highest
priced goods and satisfying extrava-i
ganees almost to an extreme. This
spending hysteria now seems to be wan
ing, although the change is not yet pro
jiyuuced." The report refers to a "disturbing
clement" in the "almost demoralized
condition of our railroads, transporta
tion being on the verge of a breakdown
by reason of a shortage of. freight oars
and a serious congestion in all lending
railroad centers conned by the strike of
switchmen and other rail workers. The

The continued high price of food i '
the most important exception, the re- '
view states, adding that "other iiiing

I by David Fowler, of fVranton. interna
, tinanl organiser of the I'nlted Mine
i Workers. In an address before the tri-.
I district convention of anthracite miners
convened today to dispose of their wage
controversy. ,
He warned the hard-coal men not to
accept a commission plan of settlement,
but attempt to again resume negotia
tions with the operators in on effort to
gtt further concessions. i
"The government is powerful enough
to force the miners not to strike." he
said, "but is uot powerful enough to
force the coal operators to live up to'
their proposals.
The Lever net was denounced as a
law designed "to crush labor and ninke
them bow to the mnsters' by cnl

anthracite srrale committee. In referring
to President Wilson's threat to ban a

Referring to the complicated offer of
the secretary of labor, Mr. Ferry u
sertrd. that "every miner in the anthra
cite field would hove to have a high
school education in order to be able to
make out his pay cheek." He declared
tiie contract also was objectionable be
