The racing men would lke actiop taken immediately, so that racing could be resumed at the spring weet. Two Important orders which will either disappear or be modified. are the anti-loafing order and the or- der regarding seditious and revo- lutionary literature. The anti-loafing law is not being enforced now that the Military Ser- vice Act is no longer being onforced and will undoubtedly be repealed. It was enacted originally to compel aliens in the country who were not subjedt to military call at least to work. As regards the.order about literature, Sirong representaticns are being 'made that it should be repealed, as it was only un war wea- sure. On the other hand it is point- ed out thdt the Government should have authority to (preveat the spread of Bolshevik and anar¢histic ideas by means of IHterature.

Such slackening of business as has occumred was described as due fo conservatism and hesitation, the eut- (come of @& desire to kmow more of the public policies and the probable trend of business. In the New York district, industries are marking time, awaiting developments, 'Ydue in part to a feeling that prices will decline." Other districts report a similar condition of affairs, but say that generally the state of things .is such as meets general approval and calls forth the opinion that the transition perod dis proving beneficial in _ ts effects. Thus far the process of re adjusting labor is said to have caused little inconvendence, since labor set free from war industries has been absorbed steadily by gemeral busi- ness, relieving an existing shortage.
