PAUL MALLON
ft- :
ping a few weeks
ago, the stock market went down with
,it. and the general impression Is
T broadcast that the whole national
spring business rise has gone flooey.
If you looS at a balanced chart of
business statistic, you can see. with
out any glasses, that such a viewpoint
la slightly out of focus.
The government's private chart of
business shows that factory employ
ment, wages, carloadings and depart
ment store sales have shown a con
stant extra-seasonal Improvement in
the past three months. Even building
contracts have improved Inconsequen
tially and prlcca have remained stable.
The only decline has been In In
dustrial production, and this Is due
to the decline in steel, more than
anything else.
If you average up all these factors,
you will find the January index of
business, seasonably adjusted, about
69.4 per cent of normal (1033-1925);
February 69.7 and March 70.
' This could hardly be called going
backward.
It docs not mean the existing busi
ness situation woud Justify asking the
"kbo.s for a raise. Essentially, .wo are
r today Just about at tho level of
March, last year. The prospects for
the next few months are not Inspir
ing. In view of the bulge in produc
tion at the turn of the year. This
bulge will undoubtedly be taken out
of the spring figures nnd may force
a continued shrinkage in production
generally.
But it does mean that the averaged
troubles of steel.'tnachlnery, transpor
tat Ion, equipment, lumber, metals,
glass, brick, autos, have obscured the
fairly good averaged encouragements
of textiles, tobacco, leather, shoes,
food, paper, chemicals, rubber.
Employment In the first group av
eraged only 69.3 per cent of normal
In the official February figures, while
employment in the second group was
94.1. In other words, the non-durables
are within 6 per cent of their
employment during 1923-1925.
You can figure out the general
layout for yourself from the follow
ing monthly fteures. The price Index
Is based on 1926 as 100. but all the
t others are ba.sed on 1923-19:25. All
' except payrolls and prices are ad
justed for seasonal variations, which
means that each figure is the actual
estimated percentage of normal for
the times stated.

DRAFT NRA BILL
IN ATTEMPT TO
Sccretly Drafted Measure
Hastily Introduced in Sen

Labor Troubles Coming
By NATHAN WOBFRTSON
Associated Press Stuff Writer.
WASHINGTON, March 29. ( AP)
A secretly drafted administration bill
to extend NRA with some modifica
tions was hastily Introduced tod a;
by Chairman Harrison of the senate
finance committee, after a warn
ing in executive session from Donald
Rlchberg, NKA head, that strikes
were Impending in four big Indus
tries. The NRA bill was along lines
recommended by the administration,
with codes confined to interstate
commerce and the anti-trust laws
partially restored. 1
Members of the committee said
Rlchberg warned of the threaten
ing labor situation In the steel, coal,
automobile and textile Industries
and urged It to speed up considera
tion of NRA legislation.
He advocated the Immediate intro
duction of the bill which Harrison
had In his pocket for several days.

Meanwhile, Senntor Huey Long told
the senate that as a result of the
government's attempt to -withdraw
the Belcher NRA case from the su
preme court, he was going to tell
his Louisiana constituents to Ignore
the NRA.
I Intend to tail them to pay the
same attention to the NRA that the

Whllo the total money which could
be expended and the total number
