EMPLOYERS OPPOSING
REDUCTIONS IN WAGES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 16.-In spite of
the fact that wage reductions by both
direct and indirect methods have been
fairly numerous during recent months,
the majority of industrial employers,
while perhaps of the optimism that a
general downward readjustment of
labor rates is justified, are opposing
such a movement because of the re-
tarding influence they believe it would
exert on trade revival, according to
the Standard Statistic Co. of New
York. A portion of this corporation's
current survey follows:
Although other wage cuts probably
will be made in the early future, : is
at the present time questionable That
a widespread slashing of rates will be
witnessed.
Employment in manufacturing in
dustries, which currently is approx
mately 10 per cent less than a. year
ago, is expected to register gradual
improvement between now and VIM
ter. Resumption of more nearly
normal operations in the automobile
iron and steel and numerous other
trades is likely to result in the re-
engagement during the near term OF
many persons released earlier this year
and in the extension of working time
of most of those now employed. AT
the same time, harvesting and market

STEEL PRODUCTION

PITTSBURGH, August 16-The Iron
Age estimates this weeks steel ingot
production not at SO per cent, but at
not above So per cent" Presumably
the estimate is on basis that would
make it comparable with the $685. per
cent reported by the American Iron and
Steel Institute as the average rate OF
production during July.
II so, So per cent would represent
nearly per cen, and 81 per cent nearly
10 per cent decrease from the July rate
Usually there is an increase from July
to August. Two of the last seven years
1928 and 1929. were years of continual
declines In activity and showed de-
creases from July to August. The other
years showed increases, even 1927, which
had a poor second half in general, hav-
ing a ! per cent increase.
Other estimates do not place ingot
production so low, running rather at
around SIS per cent. but there are no
estimates whatever to suggest that there
is any gain this month over July Either
there is to be no Autumn upturn in
steel or 1t is going to come unusually
late, and thereby 1t would not help the

In contrast with activity in fabricated

year until the excess Of deaths over
births will absorb our slight gain OF
immigration assuming, OF course, there
is no change in the immigration policy
From that point on, after a very few
wears. there must begin period OF de-
clining population. And the decline
will accelerate with each decade.
Now to return to the economic con-
sideration involved. What does II
mean to have the population stop grow
ing? For about a century there was a
general trend toward increase in profits,
with the possible exception of agri-
culture. which has in recent decades,
ANYWAY, had to compete In world
markets with countries of lower pro-
duction costs. There were times, OF
course, when this trend was arrested
indeed cut through by sharp though
brief periods of loss. But in the main
the Use in the profit rate was as
sured and came to be relied upon as
business experience.
The war did nothing to diminish
this. In fact it is not too much to
saw that it affected the whole theory
of profits with what the psychiatrists
call "delusions of grandeur" 1t be-
came possible to derive profits just from
rapid and clever operations in the EVIL
dences of ownership. So for the last
five years a malicious and most unreal
type of profit making has developed
from the manipulation of securities.
the throwing together Of companies,
the creation of chain organizations
and doing anything and everything to
let people in on the ground floor, al
ways upon the assumption that past
rates of increase in the consuming
market would be maintained in the fu-
ture.
But while consolidation is the word
of the hour, 1t is going to represent lit
tie or no economy unless and until a
wholesale reduction of overhead, man
agement and personnel is in every case
effected. and unless and until effective
public regulation of security issues and
intelligent principles of profit organiza-
tons have been written in enforceable
and adequate precepts of law.
In word, we are going to give up
our confident assumption that the old
rate of profits can be maintained. I'M
economic Implications will have to be
eliminated wherever possible, without
too great sacrifice of individual inter-
est, profiigate waste of materials will
have to be stopped. quality and dura-
bility will have to be the watchwords.

Canning Industry
Hard Hit by Dry
Spell in Maryland
Effects of Drought Elk.
pected to Be Shown
This Winter.
peciaI Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 16.-The real
effects of Maryland's 49-days' drought.
which is reckoned to have destroyed
millions of dollars worth of crops
throughout the State, probably will not
be felt until Winter comes, according
to officials of canneries here.
Frank Shook, secretary OF the Tri-
State Packers Association, an organi-
zation of Maryland, Delaware and New
Jersey Gamers, predicted that the
Maryland corn pack this year would be
only Is per cent of the normal; peas
about 20 per cent; string beans, 80 to
40 per cent, and tomatoes, so to go
per cent-though some tomato growers
expect smaller pack.
Maryland is one of the most impor-
tant canning States of the country. OF
about 500 canning factories In the
State, it was estimated today that not
more than one in five were in opera
ton.
The value of Maryland's canned
in the vegetable packing industry, was
S25, 426,800. That year the States ap-
proximate pack of peas was $4,000
cases; corn, 1,493,000 cases; tomatoes,
100000 cases, and green peas, 1,157,
600 cases.
Using the 1927 figures Of these four
staple canned products as indices, Mr.
Shocks crop forecast indicates that
the value of Maryland's canned prod
ucts this season would drop to figure
somewhere between 100000 and So
900, 900.
Last year Maryland canneries packed
/ ,469, 900 cases of peas, 1,865,31 cases
of corn, 4,050,160 cases of tomatoes,
~
cases of beets; 54,816 cases of wax
beans.
All these figures were far in advance
of those for 1927, when the value of
the years canned products in this
State exceeded $25, 100000.

ployment for a large number who are
currently without occupations.
Because of the substantially lower
rate of employment and, in many cases,
reduced wage scales, purchasing power
of industrial labor obviously is mater
tally smaller than at this time in 1929.
However, the decline probably is not
as severe as it appears at first glance
because of receding commodity prices,
which permits those employed (espe-
cially those with fixed salaries) to OBJ
tain greater dollar value with their
funds than year ago. With unem-
plyoment likely to diminish during the
next several months. general purchases,
at least of necessities, should expand,
although 1t is strongly improbable that
they will reach their high levels of 1929
for considerable period"
