ing on part-time schedules. are
belied by facts. It IL true that
furry has struck the trade, but
gossip's tongues and pens mostly
have made mountains out Of mole
hills.
The chief basis for these stories
h the fact that some manufacturers
have made slight revisions In pro-
duction schedules but this. they
say, need give no alarm.
Weather conditions have not been
favorable. Where manufacturers
usually expect good selling weather
by the middle Of March, this year
so far there have been few bright
days and the usual spring demand
has not had q chance to get under
way. January and February were
such record breakers that when the
pace was not increased In proportion
during March talk Of slump
began.
During the past week employ.
ment in Detroit dropped only ST..
This report includes other Industries
besides automotive, so 1t would
not indicate that automobile manu-
'facturers are decreasing forces to
any great extent.
Readjustment Of output schedules
which is taking place means con-
tinuing through the second quarter
OF the year at approximately the
production rate Of the first quarter
instead OF q reduction in rate of
operation. The effect IS to forego
the enlarged second quarter SEIZED
ules that were planned last fall.
There are several instances of
manufacturers, who, instead of
cutting production schedules, actual
" have increased their outputs.
This is true particularly Of Hud-
SON Essex, Dodge. Maxwell. WINS.
Overland ana Cadillac. Constantly
climbing delivery records, coupled
with increasing production, lead
Dodge Brothers to believe that the
first six months Of 1924 win total by
far the greatest six months in the
history OF their business.
Rickenbacker last week set a
new production record ana expects
to increase output until the middle
Of April, at least. Indications are
that Ford and Chevrolet will operate
in April at approximately the
March rate. Ford plans III, 900 in
April, approximately the same as
for March and comparing with 49,
93S in January and 1914 in
February. Chevrolet plans $4,000
in April, comparing with 10000 in
January, $1,000 in February and
about 10000 in March.
