PEAK INJNDUSTRY
February Reports Show Best
Wages, Most Jobs Since
1931 March Expected
To Show Gain Further.
WASHINGTON. April Pay
rolls In American menufacturlng in
dustry hit a new high in February,
creating peaks in both wnpes and em
ployment untouched since early
1931.
The department of commerce, an
nouncing fills today, added that prob
able u-hpr improvement in March
would supplement these figures, but
that only incomplete estimates for the
month were available.
The department stated that a swell
ing in manufacturing payrolls of 12
per cent In February as compared' to
January constituted the greatest one
month Improvement in 15 years.
A six percent gain in actual factory
employment during the month as
compared to January was recorded as
having been exceeded only three times
In 15 years.
Latent Increases Uncounted
None of the figures included the
splurge of pay increase recently an
nounced in the steel, automobile and
other industries, many of which go
Into effect this month.
The NRA was disclosed today to be
watching such data intently, while
gathering more of Its own.
On good authority it was indicated
that quick; general action by industry
to shorten working hours for re -employment
la not now expected by Blue
Eagle officials but within a reason
able period voluntary cuts are looked
for from largo Individual groups.
If not, the original idea that a flat
ten per cent reduction be required by
the government of all who cannot
show good cause to the contrary, n y
be brought into play.
Up To misineiu
The present attitude is to put the
responsibility directly up to business.
Its spokesmen have urged upon Hugh
S. Johnson Insistently their view that
If there is no compulsion many in
dustries will do the thing handsome
ly. With his own belief the Init
iative should be on the part of indus
try, Johnson has found it easy to
leave direct action to private Interests
for a time.
While Johnson's aides are going be
yond present conditions to gain data
on how many more men Industry
could -possibly employ "end If not,
why not," in the words of the NRA
administrator the allied commerce
department concentrated on past sta
tistics. It noted slight declines in employ-,
ment in non-manufacturing industry
between the middle of January and
the middle of February as offsetting
but a small proportion of the "mark
ed gain in factory employment," The
actual gain, It added, "reversed thr
downward trend which had extended
over a period of four months."
As to March possibilities, the report
found that "current indications point
toward further Improvement In the
employment opportunities in March "
Fitrm income Grows
It noted that cash Income received
by farmers from the sale of farm pro
ducts rose nearly five percent during
February after allowance for the sea
sonal trend, and was 03 percent above
a year ago.
Production advances were not ac
companied by similar advances In
sales of goods, the figures Indicated.
The February rise in freight-car load
ings was regular, while retail sale fig
ures showed no marked change, ex
cept in the cast of automobiles, the
value of which was almost double
January. Preliminary March figures,
however, indicated general retail Im
provement. ,
The gain In the composite index of
' Industrial production for the month,
after allowance for the seasonal trend,
was nearly four percent, bringing the
Index considerably above both 1033
and 1033 and within 8 per cent of
February 1031.
NRA and other administration ef
forts to improve figures thus far not
ed are concentrated principally on two
fronts.
Legislation Is now being considered
on Capitol Hill to follow President
Roosevelt's suggestion that about
1700,000,000 more capital could be
used by medium-slced businesses to
good employment effect.
