Non-Employment Situation Brightens in Two Sections BY FRANK D. MeLAIN, Bpecial Dixpatch to The Star. PHILADELPHIA, June 15.—De- cided improvement is shown in the WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1921 unemployment _situation here. The chamber of commerce-estimates tha there are now between 85,000 and 95,000 workers idle, not _including those on strike. But, unl new strikes or lockouts occur, number will be reduced materially before the end of June. There is & definite tendency evinced by certain employers to fight unions to the end by hereafter employing nonme but non-union workers. Twelve Wilton and Brussels car- pet and rug manufacturers have an- nounced that today they would re- open their plants on an open- hop basis. The Wilton union weavers de- clined to accept a 20 per cent wage reduction. While union men of the building trades ' still are on strike. permits to build dwellings to cost about $1,000,000 were taken out last month. In the textile industry, op- eratives are gradually drifting back to_work. Reduced cost of living is evident in prices for groceries and dress goods, Garment manufacturers are busy, some of them operating at capacity. Shoe manufacturers are thriving, es- pecially those that make 2 specialty of .women's fancy shoes. In general, You Must “Pledged to Quality” Fourteenth St. at New York Ave. Store Hours: 8:30 A.

This tremendous increase in employment comes as a result of the acceptance of Judge K. M. Landis arbitrator in the wage dispute between the building trades unions and the con- tractors, which has tlied up millions of dollars’ worth of construction. If agreement is not reached before the first pay day the old scale of $1.25 for skilled Jabor and $1 an hour for un- skilled workers will obtain. Business Conditions Noted In Various Trade Centers NEW YORK, June 15.—Collections, except in the far south, are show- ing a better tendency, aoccording to crodit men here. Some weak spots appear in past due accounts, but the bulk of outstanding accounts now on manufacturers’ books show up well. Credit men, However, still are resist- ing eYorts of sales managers to ex- tend terms, discounts and credit in their desire to close sales. CHICAGO, June 15.—Representatives of large mill owners' associations have subscribed a fund of a hundred thousand dollars, to be expended in propaganda, having as its object the estublishment of the open shop in all miils engaged in manufacturing in- terior finishings. izations which have taken up this I movement are the Cabinct Makers Manufscturers’ Association, the Wood- {workers Employers' Arsociation and Division G of the Mill Men's Associa- tion.

Survey of Commodities Covering a Broad Area BY 1. V. SHANNON Bpecial Dispateh to The Star. NEW ORLEANS, June 15.—Loui iana crops, witt the exception of cot- ton, have made greater progress and are in better condition for this time of year than for any similar period in a decade. The acreage in rice and sugar has been reduced about 30 to 40 per cent, but that devoted to all other crops shows a marked increase. In- formation from all sections of the state indicate that crops are being produced on a basis which will yield the grower a profit at present prices. Jobbers and manufacturers report that their June business stows gains over any month this year, but none of them expects large increases until autumn. Local sugar refiners have closed down on account of the slack demand. Rice sales this year are two and a half ‘million pockets ahead of last year, with heavy demand for Europe. |S Dry Geods. CHICAGO, June 15.—The number of mail orders received and the volume of road sales for immediate delivery have been much larger in the last week than the week before, Marshal Field & Co. announced toda: ‘There also has been a large continuéd increase in business booked by salesmen for fall delivery.

WEST. NEW YORK, June 15.—Again today interest in financial happenings was pretty much absorbed by the violent price changes on the stock exchange. ‘It was a question whether, after the respite of yesterday, the market would renew its decline or whether the element of support which had be- gun to appear toward Monday's close would still be manifest. The speculative faction working for lower prices had another picce of ef- fective ammunition in the report from an expert attached to the Shipping Board, supporting more sensationalls than ever. the talk which has been going around fer a long time past about the apprcaching exhaustion of the Mexican oil supply. The findings in this report were flatly contradicted by the president of the company, but not before Mex can Petroleum shares had broken an- other eight points and before the en- tire Mexican oil group had established new lows. The overnight collapse in the Mex can oiis gave the bear party abundant courage to go ahead exploiting other weak points among individual stocks. Wherever there was a question of possible dividend cutting the stock concerned was attacked In this catego; Sugar, American y Alcohol and Virginia Carolina Chemi- cal preferred. Driving on List. Baldwin Locomotive and tional Paper were others that driven down sharply, and ! tunate Atlantic Gulf stocks had another sinking spell he- cause, apparently. of an unfavorable interpretation placed upon the s ment by the president of the o pany that the program for straighten- ing out the finances were being held up by the delay on the part of share- holders in sending in their proxies Mexiean Petroleum Decline. The first effect of the Phelan report. with its extremely pessimistic fin regarding the Mexicon oil supply, w. an overnight drop of 7 points in Me ican Petroleum. Selling ex-dividend of $3, the opening transaction was a block of 2,000 shares at against iast night’s final of 130. It might have been expected that when the Mexi Petroleum president came out with statement on the other side. in which he refuted most of the testimony in the report of the Shipping Board ex- pert, the stock would have rallied sharpl Mr. Doheny stressed the fact that the State Department refused to put its seal to the conclusions of the official investigator. He described Mr. Phelan as neither a geologist nor an oil producer, who had made a hasty trip through the oil ficlds and had come out with an account which was very inaccurate and misleading. The morning newspaper accounts {had.&poken of the remaining Mex can oil reserves estimated by the D. partment of the Interior as only 4 500,000 barrels. This, as Mr. Doheny pointed out, was omitting three ciphers, the correct total as given some tima ago by the dircctor of the geological surv being 4.500,000 600 barrels, or enough to insure export at the 1920 rate for forty-five years to come. Ameri Ne Demoralization. Enough weak spots were uncovered to unsettle the general list for a time. But th, Wwas no suggestion that the demoralization of last week and the week before was about to recur Prices went off a point or so all through the list while the dozen or S0 special issues were breaking. but as soon as these ceased going down there was a quick recover: The same contention which made the Mexican oils weak made the American oils strong. The inference that if the Mexican oil supply was realiy Fiving out. American oil reserves must become potentially much more valuable vas gnite’ logical. But the vex question of the true position in the Mexican oil fields has not been set- tled, by any means. The fact that neither the State nor the Interior De- partment was willing to stand behind the report of the agent of the Ship- ping Board obviously took away much from its credibility. ence being offset by the 20 per cent lower freight rates to German ports. The market is strong, with prices firm. Textiles. NEW YORK, June 15.—The demand for light-weight burlaps has been heavy for the last week. Quotations rose from a low point of 3.40 for eigh ounce forties to around 3.70. Advances also were reported in the ten-and-one- half-ounce grade. Paints and Ofls.

Vessel charterers have failed to find an outlet for the Cuban stocks and rates to New York, Boston and Philadelphia range from 15 to 17 cents a hundred pounds. Carriers can get no more than $2 a ton for coal from Hampton road: to Havana and see no profit in a re- turn cargo at present rates.

A year ago there was active demand &t prices over three times those now quoted. the June carpet auction sales now in progress in some cases have shown an advance over the figures of last month.

GH, June 15.—Standard ‘makes of automobiles are in liberal demand throughout this section. One agent announced that he had no diffi- culty in selling his weekly allotments. There is a large number of used cars on hand, however. NEW YORK, Junms 15.—May ship- ments of motor cars from the facto- ries exceeded thosq of April by 13 per cent. Increased sales are reported from the south, where a gratifying cy is shown to translate needs for automotive transportation into ac- tual purchases of vehicles.
