CYCLE SHOWN,
BY INDUSTRIAL
OUTPUT TOTALS
Recurring Periods of De.
preston Riddle of
Ages.
BY EDMUND e. DAY.

Professor Of Economies, School of Business
Administration Of Harvard University.
Business men need no reminder
of the prevalence of fluctuations
in Industrial output. Recently
radical curtailment has been the
general order of the day. EN-
ployes have been placed on alb
breviated schedules when not ac-
tually discharged; plants have
been operated on part time when
not completely closed. Output has
been at a minimum. Yet as recent
ly as the winter of 1880 opposite
conditions prevailed Manufac-
turers were then employing every
available neon to increase produc-
ton. -Workmen were bird overtime
to tend machinery driven at top
speed. Production was at a max
imum.
Though variations of this sort
form part of the universal expert
ence Of modern business enterprise,
their nature ard Significance are
rarely understood. Fundamentally,
fluctuations of Industrial output
are an integral part of the business
cycle. Business conditions at one
stage of the cycle stimulate, at an
other stage enervate. efforts to in
crease production. The ups and
downs of Industrial output are es-
sentially cyclical.
The character of this cycle may
be observed in the production rec
ords of any industry for which con-
tinuous data are at hand. In the
United States the iron and steel
trade provides just such a record.

another page the monthly produc-
ton of pig iron Is shown graphical

JUDGE HAAS URGED
FOR REELECTION

WINCHESTER. Va. Nov. 3.-An-
nouncement was made here this aft
ernoon that the lawyers and court
officials Of Page County. with the
sole exception Of one attorney, have
signed a petition urging the re-elec-
ton of Judge T. N. Haas, Of Har-
risonburg. as Judge of the Circuit
courts of Rockingham and Page
counties, and that 1t will be pre-
scented at the Democratic Legislative
caucus in Richmond in January.
Judge Haas was attacked some
time ago by political enemies in his
home county. who accused him of
a breach of professional ethics. The
action of the Page County bar is
understood to have been wholly vol
untary.

enough to know, for example. that
the heavy decline in pig iron pro-
duction in January-February, 1918.
was the direct consequence of the
order of the United States Fuel Ad-
ministrator closing for thirteen
working days during these two
months in States east of the Missis-
sippi all industrial plants not at
work on government contracts. The
consequent sudden drop in pig iron
production was merely a pause in
the course of the cycle. Apparently
1t had no decisive influence. The
same was true of the precipitous
fall of production on account of the
steel strike in October and Novem-
Der, 1919. At the time of their oc-
currence these fortuitous disturb
ances may entirely conceal the true
course of the cycle. In retrospect
they appear as nothing more than
Interruptions Of the underlying cyclical
movement of production.
The general trend disclosed by
the graph reflects the normal
growth of the industry from 1905 to
date. This normal growth justifies
the expectation of n substantially
larger output in 1921 than in 1914.
Another industry might exhibit an
entirely different longtime ten
dency. Thus the production of bee
hive coke shows a persistent down
ward movement since 1909, the re-
suit of competition from by-pro-
duct ovens. Fluctuations in the
output of any industry occur
around the level determined by the
prevailing trend. This may be up
ward or downward. or be of no dis
ceraable inclination: but the posi-
bility Of longtime tendencies must
be recognized and the effect of per-
sistent growth or decline allowed
for in the Interpretation of current
records of production.
Seasonal variation appears in the
characteristic differences of out
put for different months of the
year. Thus typically, March shows
much greater pig-iron production
than February. In part, this diver
gence is nominal, and arises not
ilOHi CHdHse III the ACTIVITY OF
the trade but from the larger num-
Der of working days in March. Be
yond this influence of the calendar,
however, lies a real seasonal move
ment of trade activity. Spring and
fall in the iron and steel industry
show greater production than win
ter and summer. Seasonal variation
thus accounts for some of the
lesser movements appearing in the
chart of pig-iron production.
Existence of the Cycle.
When all necessary allowances
have been made for fortuitous dis
turbances, longtime tendencies,
and characteristic seasonal varia-
tons. there remains a strsng wave
like movement in the production of
pig iron from 1904 to date. The
chart serves to throw this move
ment into bold relief. Even a cur
sorry study of the records affords
convincing proof of the existence
of a cycle of production in the iron
and steel trade.
The cycle is not peculiar to this
industry. True. 1t is more easily
observed in the case of pig iron
production, partly because of the
nature of the trade, partly because
of the excellence of the statistical
record. But similar fluctuations ap-
pear in the records of other funda-
mental Industries wherever the
data are available. Thus the volume

OMIT "OBEY" IN
MARRIAGE CEREMONY
is PROTESTANT PLAN

Instead of those old and familiar
words, which in all years past have
formed the very backbone of the mar
riage ceremony, Love, honor and
obey" only love and honor" will
hereafter be found to be used in the
majority of Protestant churches. The
Methodist service modifies the cere-
mony and the Presbyterian, Universal
list and Baptist churches are likewise
reported to have eliminated that
phrase in part. In the Roman Cath
Ollie ceremony it is understood that the
wife is subject to her husband in all
lawful things. Rev. Richard Evans of
the Methodist church endorses the ex-
preston made by the Rev. H. C. Coo
ley of Amigo to the Amigo Journal, to
the effect that marriage is a partner
ship affair, and that "the words adj
dressed to the man and the woman
should hold mutual obligations but
this does not mean that they must be
identical"
