SALVAGE YIELDS FORTUNE
TO THRIFTY INDUSTRIES

The practice Of thrift by American
industry nets at least $750,000, 900. &C
cording to the Department of Com
merce, through the salvaging of ma
terial from scrap heaps and refuse con-
tanners.
The Bureau of Mines of the depart
ment estimates that half a billion dol
lars Is saved through retaining scrap
iron and steel and an additional quarter
of a billion Is gained through reclaim
ing other common metals.
The salvaging of waste is an industry
in itself, according to j. P. Dunlop of
the bureau, although not recognized as
such, and is an important factor in the
supply of raw material and helps to
reduce the cost of many products.

USES OF COTTON CLOTH
HAVE SHOWN INCREASE

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Despite the
DEGREES of fashion and the popularity
of other fabrics, the average person
uses more cotton cloth than did his
ancestors 80 years ago, according to the
Cotton-Textile Institute.
The fact that per capita consunp-
ton of cotton cloth is nearly 20 per
cent greater than it was in 1900, de-
spite the decline in its use for wear
ing apparel is explained by Paul B.
Halstead, secretary Of the institute.
1.-THE answer is" explains Mr.. Hal
stead" that extensive new markets for
cotton goods, notably in the manufac-
ture of automobiles, artificial leather,
rubberized fabrics and home decora-
ton has offset the decline in consump-
ton of cotton for wearing apparel"

not been halted. Last week prices
reached another new low.
Ten years ago the average OF all
prices was 140 per cent over the 1913
level. Four years ago the average was
A per cent above pre-war. Today the
price lebel Is down to 20 per cent above
1918. In view of the rapid changes Of
the past year it is readily seen that
comparison of prices today with the
1918 level Is not badly distorted. Last
week out Of Is individual groups, II
declined, 2 advanced, and renamed
unchanged.
No definite trend Is indicated in the
volume of general business. A side
wise movement has been in effect since
early February. Production schedules
are undergoing reorganization in or
der to pave the way for badly needed
reduction in inventories of raw mate
rails and finished goods. All COM
modify prices declined moderately dur
ing the past week. Even in cases where
commodities are cheap, and there are
more than Il basic items selling lower
than pre-war, there has been no sign of
active buying. Sentiment continues
beariSh.
Industrial Prices.
Levels are not dropping as rapidly
as they were a month ago, but the
sagging trend is still in evidence. In
addition to a curtailed domestic de-
mand, manufacturers are now feeling
the effect Of substantially lower exports.
Agricultural Products.
These represent one of the two groups
which advanced during the past week.
This is entirely seasonal develop
nnent for the statistical position, which
Is badly unbalanced, remains unchanged.
The drought is still serious, but q
check-up on world producing countries
indicates large crops this year.
Building Materials.
These represent the other group which
advances. This is entirely due to higher
Southern pine prices. The building vol
ume Is much more satisfactory, but re-
stricted to heavy construction and road
building.
Non-Ferrous Metals.
These metals also are weak, led by
copper and tin. Consumers of copper
refused to cover ahead at the II cent
level and as long as the market fluc-
tuates 1t will be difficult to establish
confidence.
Textile Prices.
Textiles declined and now are close
to the April low. Silk is lower, and
rayon manufacturers in order to meet
increased competition introduced new
price list on a materially lower basis.

.STAL|N MOD|F|ES
 SOVIET POLICIES
Apparently Recognize Wide Hos-
 tility to Present Campaign

Moscow, March [P) - Joseph Stalin, who, as sccretary-general of the Communist party, is virtual die tator Of Soviet Russia, warns his country today against going too far too quickly in the communication process.
 A three column article by Stalin appearing in all the newspapers of the capital he warned Communist officials they must slacken their campaign to complete specialization of agricultural lands and urged So- vict village officials and others against too much enthusiasm.
 Realizes Hostility Present
 In official circles the article was interpreted as an indication that he realizes the collectivizat tion campaign has reused some of the peasantry to open hostility. The kulaks, or rich peasants, have been slaughtering animals falling into the hands of the government. Other violent acts have been common.
 In this light the Stalin statement was regarded as d distinct modera- ton of the governments rural pol icy. It was interpreted as meaning that the kremlin had decided that the success of the collectivizaton policy depended largely upon the good will and voluntary consent of the peasantry.
 NJ. Stalin, after declaring that 50 per cent of the peasantry are en- braced in collective farming under efforts thus far have produced more than 3,o00,0p1 tons of seed for spring sowing, said:
 The success we have had may make some party members drunk and cause them to over- estimate strength and under estimate the power of our enemies. We must take rcsolutc measure against those party members who indulge in ad- Henturous policies and anti-Leninist views, and who fail to realize neces- slty of consolidating our present achievements in Collectivization.
 We cannot collectivize farms by force. This is foolish and reaction ary. Healthy collectivization must be based upon the active support of the bulk of the peasantry."
 Stresses Conditions
 Stalin warned that village Soviets' efforts at collectivization must be confined to those regions where con- ditions arc favorable for its devcl- opment, and must no, be forced on the peasants in such backward e. gions as TurkcstGn and the remote

COMMUNISTS PLAN
 IDLENESS PROTEST
Details Sent Here From Moscow
 for National Demonstration

Washington, March UP) - Widespread publicity of Communist plans for unemployment dcmonstra- tons throughout the world March coincided Saturday with reports from the American Federation of Labor that unemployment had in creased in 24 American cities
 Preliminary figures for Febru- ary," the federation announced, show that 22 per cent of the mcm- bcrs reporting were out of work as compared with 20 per cent in Janu- ary.'
 The federation said building trades were most seriously affected.
 Plans for the Communist dcmon- Stration by employed and uncmploy- ed persons appeared in the Com muniSt press several days ago and arc familiar to American officials through these publications.
 Planned Abroad
 'Thc Militant" representing the Communist group headed by James P. Cannon. said plans for the dem onstrations 10 be held in tho Unite q States and throughout the world came from the Communist Interna- tional in Moscow.
 Government officials do not ap- pear alarmed by the program al though a report persisted that de- partment of justice officials had considered some sort of coopera- ton with police in various locali- ties.
 This was denied at tho depart ment, where it was said it's agents would act only to prevent violence against government officials, de- struction of government property or interference with the mails.
 The program is for mass dem onStrationS in every American city although membership of the Com munist party in the United States is believed 10 be so small that so widespread q program could not be- come impressive without enlistment Of non-mombers fer the occasion.
 Communist papers estimated IT, OO0,OO persons unemployed throughout the world of whom B. 000, ,000 were said to be Americans. This is considerably in excess of other estimates of American unem- ploymcnt.
 The federation of labor figures were based on reports from trade unions in 24 cities.
