Throughout the examination of the

Did you send that $1,000 back to
H. c. Walker, Jr., at Shreveport,

cold me that he had lain awake all
night trying to figure il they had any
anything or him." Pierce said.
The only thing they might have

by GUY T. ROCKWELL.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 5.-Believ-
ing that the wage cut announced by
the United States Steel Corporation
is one Of the most important factors
of the readjustment program of the
year. Cleveland business men look for
great Improvement to follow within
q reasonable time.
Resumption of business has not
progressed as rapidly as it was hoped
for, but with the banks in better posi-
ton to assist financing of the essen
t.al sort than they have been in
months. many agree that the read
justment period is we'll past the peak.
Bank Strength shown.
Lowering of rediscount rates by the
New York Federal Reserve Bank indi
Gates the strengthened position of the
banks. No reduction in rates is look
ed for here and credit in Cleveland is
likely to remain tight for some time
owing to the great demand for money
now coming from the farming dis
tricts.
Unemployment is progressing
steadily. but chiefly among the motor
plants. There were 22.S per cent more
persons employed in local automobile
plants April 80 than on March 81, ac-
cording to the Chamber Of Commerce
survey report.
Textile plants reported an increase
of 329 employees during the month. but
slight decreases were reported by
plants dealing in food, iron. steel and
lumber.
The White Motor Company resumed
operations on a four-day week May
1 after having operated three days a
week since March I.
Auto Signs Significant.
Announcement that the Peerless
Motor Company had wiped out its
finished inventory which last Novem-
Der consisted of 1.10e cars. and that
the Jordan Motor Company had work.
ed OF all its high-priced inventory.
are significant signs that the end of
the readjustment period is being
reached.
Strike of the building trades and
printers Is tying up business in those
lines and it is hard to predict when
either difference will be settled.
Among other jobs being held up is
that Of the Federal Reserve Bank
building.
Figures compiled in 40 manufactur-
ing. construction and public utility
companies throughout the fourth
federal district show that the number
Of employees has decreased 43 per cent
and pay rolls reduced 81 per cent as of
April l. this year compared with April
