HARD TIMES AHEAD IN U.S. W. S. BAILEY

BIG WAGES BUT LITTLE WORK.

New York, May 3-The United |Staton is facing an economic and] findustrial crisis. This question fis now a commonplace of cam- versation in this country. Only last wook one of the leading bankers in New York publicly prophesied a money panio unless jdmštie curtallments of credit for non-essential purposes were im- mediately enforced.

While the prediction is widely [discounted, there is abundance of news every day demonstrating the gradual approach of a period of hard times. Everywhere mills, and factories are being gravely hampered by the congestion of freight on the railways. Every where there is growing dissatis- action with high price levels. Not only are the railways suffer- ing from a shortage of equipment, but such equipment as they have is monopolized to an unprecedent- ed extent by the confusion result- ing from the recent strike.. Complaints of delays in deliveries of coal and raw materials are universal.
