Conditions In
Business Are r
Getting Normal
Ktsleral Itcirrws Hoard Ueport Inill-
cale.s Iteports of t'lU'iiiplojiiieiit
Aro llelng Very Greatly Magnified
Confidence that business condi-
tions are leadjiibtlng themselves In
a "fairly satisfactory way" ulthough
not as fast as many Interests wish
was expressed this week by the fed-
eral rtberve hoard in a review ot
business reported for February.
These repoits were tuado by fed-
eral leserve agents in each district
babed on specific suneys of com-
mercial and Industrial conditions.
"Itoports as to labor unemploy-
ment have been numerous in thj
prcjs" says the hoard's revlow "hut
the reports of federal reserve agents
show that there have probably thus
far been over anxiety and exagger-
ation with rebpect to this matter.
Front several manufacturing dis-
tiicts It lb reported that labor con-
ditions are far from satisfactory and
that there is considerable unemploy-
ment but it is also noted that the
condition does not seem to have
grown worse during February."
It appears that the surplus ot la-
bor is smallest In the South and
Southwest whore however there
are no indications of any reduction
In the wage scale. In the North an.l
East employee aie demanding high-
er wages notwithstanding the exis-
tence of considerable unemployment
"There is as yet no general revi-
sion of wages downward although
there aro indications of a tendenev
to let wages settle to a definite level
which shall without question be
higher than that existing before the
war. There has been a tendency to
provide labor for a greater number
of perosns by eliminating overtime
or establishing short time." .
The textile Industry presents one
of tho most difficult problems snys
the teport. In New Kngland euitiill-
ment of woolen mill production still
is In progress and in the Philainiel.
nhla district readpjustment In tes
tile production is proceeding with
values unsettled. In New Knglani'
the cotton ninrket Is reported at i
complete standstill so far as raw
material is concerned while mills
are operating only a few days a
week.
Itaw material for le-ither and
Klines Is reported higher than when
the armistice was signed savs the re-
nort. "and by some it is ptedictel
that the price of shoes will advance

"Hanking conditions In general
show rt" condition of greater e-ise."
the hoard said "with some accum-
ninlation of funds at centers and n

Weatherford
Calls Off the
Durant Game
After arrangements had beeu made
and completed for a matched game
of basketball nt Oklahoma City bo-
tween tho Southwestern Normal of
Weatherford and tho Southeastern
Normal of Durant for tho state nor-
mal basketball championship the
Weatherford aggregation being t in
challenger the challengers then call
ed the game off. The contention after
it is all over Is that Weatherford
has another meet of some kind on
which they cannot well leae and
the claim that Durant Is not en-
titled to ocu claim the stale cham-
pionship. Coach Lai id of the local school
team believes It is a clear case of
showing the white feather and lliu
yellow streak and in iew of the
fact that his team made arrange-
ments in good faith and arrange-
ments had been made for tbu game
at tho capital city ho feels not n
little bit Incensed at the outcome.
A subscription list was parsed lo-
cally to defray the team's expenses
to Oklahoma City and back and tills
has been refunded to the donois.
