A survey of industrial and employ- Ment conditions thrucut Pennsyl- vania, obtained exclusively by the United Press, indicates that men and management in many instances are reaching a better understanding than hag been known In the past. This condition is reported to be having marked Influence on the chances of prosperity in 1924, Tho “era of good feeling” which | seems to be at hand tn industry has threo explanations. They are: 1—Establishment of the eight-hour day, notably in the steel and anthra- cite Industries. 2—Investment opportunities of- fered employes, stimulating Interest in the management, and participation in the profits, 3—The shortage of skilled labor fs creating keen competition among employers for continued services of workers, thereby reducing labor turnover. ‘The effect of this condition has been noted generally in the Jabor sit- uation in Pennsylvania. There is very little unemployment, and what there is has been classed as “float- ing.’ Demand for common labor having fallen off, this element hag in- creased, INDUSTRY STABILI, The gradual stabilization has been in process of development in building construction, tho stell industry and transportation. Coal mining is mak. ing desperate effort to stabilize it. self. Tho building industry, on the other hand, has made marked progress, ex. pecially in Pennsylvania, sonal industry, dependent upon weather conditions, building was one of the few large industries with labor turnover the invariable rule, Now, it appears, contractors are going |—100 boxes, also 250 and 600 sizes, jany drug storg,—Advertisement, ahead with inside work and are re. taining their most competent men, As a sea-| principally because they do not want other contractors to get them when operations are resumed in the spring. There is moro building work going on In Pennsylvania today than ever has been known in the previous his- tory of the commonwealth. The eight-hour day in the steel in- dustry, according to reliable reports, has attracted the better type of men, with the result that more are retain- ed in employment and there {s less | turnover.
