Ramsay MacDonald is going to the Highlands. The others are going to Switzerland |or the Riviera, Apart from the sensational defeat | of the new prayer book, the Autumn session has heen unimportant and has failed to check the waning popu- larity of the Baldwin government. The chief ground of dissatisfaction is the growing feeling of concern at the fallure to reduce natlonal expendi- tures and to stimulate trade, Apart from the fact that the No vember trade figures showed an in- crease in the export of manufactured £oods, the outlook for industry con- | tinues most disquieting. A singular |fact in the situation is the striking | contrast between the position in the | metropolis and southern England and | that in the industrial north. Country Never More Prosperous. Judged by London, the country never was more prosperous. The di- mensions of the Christmas trade are unprecedented. One newspaper estl- mated that the turnover of large wholesale businesses in the West End during the Christmas seaxon was 0,000,000. This probably is exces- sive, but all the evidence goes to show that the magnit a new record, | sents Juxury expenditures, to which | the increasing vogue of London as | & buying center for the continent con- { tributes. | In south England generall | there has been considerable develop ment of prosperity, owing to new in- dustries like motors, artificial silk, | chemicals, electrical manufactures, | etc., which, instead of being concen- trated in the industrial north, are | tending to be distributed over the rural south. Oxford, for example, | under the influence of Morris, the Eng- | lish Ford, is becoming transformed from a medieval city, sacred to learn- | ing, to a vast hive of modern industry, | and great concern prevails at the | verils to the amenities and beauties of | this incomparable city. | Meanwhile, the industrial north, | where staple industries which have be-n the backborte of British prosper- |ity for a century are congregated, re- |mains stagnant and depressed with | vast masses of unemployed and under- employed. Iron, steel, engineering, | mining, shipbuilding, cotton, are in. volved in this prolonged post-war catastrophe which the great miners’ strike last year meverely aggravated. Many Miners Unemployed. Tt is estimated a quarter of a million miners are still unemployed and will never find work again in the pits. Areas like Durham and South Wales |are permanently poverty stricken and ! impoverished. This stagnation in the vital ndus- tries of the country creates deepening anxiety in the ranks of both capital and labor. A marked change is com- ing over the spirt of trade unionism, which is much less irreconcllable than has been the ci hitherto. A most striking evidence of this was furnished this week. Sir Alfred Mond and Sir Josiah Stamp, two of the most power ful and enlightened organizers of in. dustry in the country, have formulat | ed a scheme for a new industrial com pact between the employers and the employed for the reorganization of in. | dustry on modern lines, and in a spirit |of cooperation between labor and capl tal. GARDINER. Conference Ts Proposed. | They approached the Trades Union Council with a request that representa- tives of labor be asked to foin them in conference to work out details of the | scheme. The council agreed and this week appointed a group of the fore- most labor leaders to meet the em- ployers and negotiate the lines of a { policy for future Industrial develop- ments. Much significance attaches to the t the council htas chosen mod- atesmen rather than “fire-cat- Mond and Stamp have with them all the best brains in the big indus- tries of the countries, and acceptance of their proposal by organized labor high expectations, The first meeting of the conference | takes place the firat week in January.

NEW PROCESS FOR CLEANING FUR EVOLVED AT U. S. BUREAU M. H. Goldman Finds Latest Method With Assistance of R. C. Bowker and Others. Milady’s furs apd leather-trimmed garments can now he renovated by the corner dry cleaner without fear of the luster or sheen being removed along with the spots. This has been made possible through a series of tests just completed at the Bureau of Stand- ards from which a new cleansing preparation has been evolved. By add- ing a small proportion of parafiin to the naphtha preparation generally used for cleaning, hureau experts have determined that the original richness nd glow of handsome furs and the pliability of expertly tanned leathers remain in the garments after passing through the cleaning process. Under the old method of dry clean- ing, the garments frequently emerged from the renovasing process with the fur clean but matted and the leather trimmings brittle and nnpliable. In ad- ditfon the paraffin-naphtha prepa tion restores the fur to its original zlossy condition, which frequently is not possible through other cle methods, such as fuller's earth and lamp salt and the beating process which accompanies these cleaning properties. Many Furs Used. In ascertaining the value of the new process, the experts of the Bureau of Standards, co-operating with Moses H. Goldman of the National Associa- tion of dyers and Cleaners, took sam- jles of sheepskin dyed leathers in reds. greens, browns, black and blue colors. The furs used included musk- rat, wolf, raccoon, caracul, beaver, fox, | National Association of Dyers and that the fur will be subjected to a minimum amount of wear and tear, in contrast to some of the methods in which solid material is rubbed onto the fur to absorh the dirt. The linings and threads will be cleaned thoroughly at the same time. “Naphtha has an additional prop- erty which is of value in considera- tion of the new process—that i, it will kill moth life, vermin and germ life. ~ Parafin has added several valuable features. It keeps Intact or restores the fatty content which is reduced by the dry cleaning process alone. It restores the appearance of the fur and leather. In some cases the materinl seems improved In luster, probably by the paraffin which remains as a very thin coating on the hair. The paraffin used in such small percentiges cannot be detected on the fur and leather for it is comparatively odorless and colorless.” Has Invented Methods.
