WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. The vigor
of the current wave of Industrial
aolvlty Is surprising nearly all busi
ness sccra.
Tho reliable federal reserve board
economists have
officially oom
puted July fac
tory output at
108 per cent of
the average Julys
of 1923, '24 and
'25.
Usually accu
rate private estl
mates Indicate
the figure for
August is now
about the same
108. It may
ultimately slip a
point up or down, but " the prelimi
nary figures for the first three weeks
Indicate clearly that this key Index
of government statistics has reached
a post-depression peak for two
months running.
Note The July figure doos not rep
resent an actual Increase in produc
tion fmm .Tune, hilt the Aueiut flB-
ure does. Ordinarily there Is a sharp
seasonal drop In July, but this year
the drop failed to occur. Actual July
production was about the same as
June, thus swelling the seasonally
adjusted figure.. But from July to
August there is normally a seasonal
Increase. Therefore, maintenance of
the 108 figure '.n August represents a
remarkablo expansion over July.
No special line la responsible for
the new show of strength. Practi
cally all varieties of factories displayed
a contra-seasonal trend from June to
July. The official seasonally adjust
ed July figures show these increases
over Juno:
- Iron hd steel 'H&. up-six points;
textiles 118, up eight; food 93, up
four; autos 123, up five; leather 112,
up eleven; tobacco 164, up seven; bi
tuminous coal 80, up six. (All these
figures are percentages, based on
1923-'23 as 100).
This month steel is up; autos are
off rather sharply due to the shift
to new models; textiles are up; coal
Is up seasonally; food Is up better
than seasonal on account of drought
livestock being hastened to tho mar
ket; electrical power production keeps
making new high records weekly.
Tho most remarkable thing about
It, however. Is that all this unex
pected strength In production has
failed to bring a corresponding Jump
in employment and payrolls.
TodBy, with production at 108 per
cent, employment la around 88 per
cent and payrolls about 79.8 per cent.
You can measure the continuous
deficiency between these Indices In
the montly government collection of
seasonally adjusted statistics, carried
below. Each Index, except prices, Is
based on the 1923-'2S averages. Prices
are on 1928 as 100.

REPETITION 1934
Employers-Employees Dead
lock On Agreement
Wage Cut Fought Dollar
Liner Delayed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29. P)
The threat of labor troubles along
Pacific coast waterfronts, reminis
cent of the bloody 1934 maritime
strike, increased ominously tonight as
two separate employe-employer dis
putes apparently had reached an Im
passe. Representatives of waterfront em
ployers and the International Long
shoremen's association postponed un
til Monday their attempt to negoti
ate a working agreement to supplant
the 1934 arbitration award which ex
pires September 30, but fear was ex
pressed further negotiations will
prove as futile as those of tho past
five days.
The Dollar liner president Hoover
sailed for Loa Angeles late today af
ter Its 370 unlicensed- crew members
had accepted under protest & ruling
of the U. S. shipping commissioner
penalizing the deck crew 3 days pay
for refusing to obey orders end get
the ship out on tlmo on Its last sail
ing from Honolulu.
The settlement, which threatened
to delay the ship's sailing here, was
reached at a meeting of the labor re
lations board, but sailor union of the
Pacific representatives sail tho com
missioner's ruling would be appealed
to Washington. The crow will take the
ship to Los Angeles and return, but
will not man it on transpacific serv
ice until tho dispute is settled to their
satisfaction.
Thomas 3. Plant, chairman of the
coast committee for waterfront em
ployers end their spokesmen in nego
tiations with the I. L. A. for a new
working agreement, expressed bellof
the matter would have to be sub
mitted to arbitration. -
"We havo negotiated for five days."
he observed, "and have been unable
to agree on fundamental issues. An
arbitration board can settle the mat
ter much easier and more satisfactor
ily than we can."
Harry Bridges, Pacific coast district
president of the I. L. A., describing as
ridiculous tho proposals of the em
ployers for pay reductions and other
changes, expressed the opinion the
longshoremen would vote for another
strike rather than accept them.
Plant was equally Insistent the
employers would not agree to higher
pay and certain other proposals of
the l. L. A. He also said the employ
ers would refuse to continue the pres
ent provision placing hiring halls
under Joint control with a union man
at each point in charge of actual dis
patching of men to Jobs. He said they
demand a "neutral" dispatcher at the
hiring halls, a demand union repre
sentatives said they were certain the
longshoremen would not grant.
In the President Hoover dispute,
Capt. George Yardlcy had logged or
penalized the deck crew four days
pay for refusing to get the liner out
on time at Honolulu. The crew claim
ed It had notified Captain Yard ley
24 hours before the President Hoover
reached Honolulu that the men would
not let go the lines until the hatch
es were closed and the gear made se
cure. They said Captain Yardley gave
orders to cast off before this was
done.
Capt. John A. Rylendor, shipping
commissioner, found the men had re
fused to obey orders, but reduced the
penalty to two days pay. At first the
crew rejected this ruling, but accept
ed It under protest after the labor re
lations board meeting.
Another dispute Indirectly Identi
fied with the waterfront labor trou
blc. In that the union Involved is af
filiated with tho I. L. A. threatened
to result in the picketing of all P. W.
Woolworth stores along the Pacific
coast.

OREGON'S RELIEF
Refugees Increase Old Age
Aid Rolls 5,100 Arrivals

PORTLAND. Aug. 20. (AP) Tho
combination of tho drought and pro
posed revisions of relief limitations
may hold serious consequences for
Oregon's relief program, members of
the state commission were told at a
meeting here.
Administrator Elmer Ooudy, say
ing that cases of old age assistance
had Increased from 6000 In April to
11,000 In August, with an accom
panying rise of costs from $130,000
month to (229,000, pointed out that
a survey allowed 6100 new arrivals In
tho state In tho past two montlis.
Ooudy predicted that the drought
In tho midwest would continue to
drive hundreds more west and that If
many of these emigrants were desti
tute, tho effect would be felt about
the first of the year and would con
stitute a ronl problem.
Jack Lulhn, chairman of the state
relief commission, pointed out an
other problem in the proposed rev I
slons of relief restrictions at the No
vember elections, whereby the mini
mum ago for old-age assistance cases
would be cut from 70 to 05 years and
a million dollars of pension funds
would be transferred to tho state's
general fund.
An opinion Is being sought from
the attorney-general's office on the
situation which would confront tho
commission if the electorate approves
the two changes. Lulhn aald he be
