Official Better Labor Conditions Coming. Your dollar will buy more cheer up! For the last three years almost everyone has been hoping for lower prices. V 'Now that they ha.ve come, there is no reason for not being glad. The best minds of the nation worked for two years to prevent overinflation of currency and credit and now that the nation, approaches something like sane conditions there is -no excuse for low spirits. That Ss the way one of the leading business men of Omaha, C W. Russell-, vice president of M. E. Smith & Co., dealers in wholesale dry goods and garment manufacturers, looks at the present condition. Business Is Good. "Everybody ought to be glad that we are so nearly across the stream," said Mr. Russell yesterday. "It looks like we have about touched the shore on the other side. I believe we are very rapidly approaching the time of easier money and better labor condi tions, with more production per cap ita. Speculative demand has disap peared, overexpansion has gone and the end of the stringency is in sight. "To get down to brass tacks, wherever prices have been reduced in accordance with the break in the primary markets, business is good. My best information on this comes from our retail customers scattered throughout the west. Where busi ness is poor, it is found that the mer chants have not reconciled them selves to taking a loss and followed the price recessions. All the adver tising in the world will not help move goods that have not been marked on the new scale. , Going to Normal. "American business will come out of this readjustment with its capital unimpaired and nothing sacrificed except great temporary profits. ThisV is a great big, rich country, witn the people industrious, and after all thrifty. They're educated in busi ness an will meet with courage the nev requirements. There is no suffering' here except mental. "It's' just a case ofMhe tempera ture going down to normal and the fevered pulse beating more regular ly. The nation is leaving off its joy-ride anL settling down to busi ness. The dollar now has greater purchasing power than for a long time. Prices Have Dropped. "No particular stress need be felt in getting ourselves adjusted to this. The sober, sensible way to look at it is that if a dollar will buy more. we simply cannot expect such high prices for the things we have to sell. "I feel absolutely sure that com modities in this avalanche of price declines have , gone in some cases too low, below the cost of produc tion, and when the normal demand, which always follows a period of this kind sets in, some things will go up." Farmer Hard Hit. Mr. Russell observed that the farmer is harder hit than men in other lines, but that even in his case the trouble, was only over-abundance, which is far from being as hard a condition as a shortage. "While America has a surplus, Eurte is destitute," he said. "People who are not familiar with the mis- rv abroad are not reallv capable ot understanding their own good fortune.- The greatest failure of Amer ican business men is that they nave not met this terrible condition Dy extending credit to Europe to buy our surplus and tide itself through the winter."
