MARKED INCREASE
IN JOBS REVEALED
Above-Seasonal Gains Felt With
Lower Prices in Sep
tember.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Above-seasonal increases in Septem-
ber's factory employment and pay rolls,
accompanied by a downward trend in
price levels are reported by the Federal
Reserve Board.
1t said also, in the September
October summary Of business and f1nan-
cial conditions issued yesterday, that
industrial activity and shipments of
commodities by rail increased from
August to September by considerably
more than the usual seasonal amount. "
The board sale. industrial production
went from So per cent of the 1923-1925
average during July. 10 80 in August
and 66 per cent in September, aided
chiefly by largely increased activity at
textile mills. shoe. factories, meat pack
ing establishments and coal mines.
Steel activity went up to 20 per cent Of
capacity in the first three weeks Of
October, while the automobile and lum-
Der output showed little change.
Employment increases in the cotton,
wooden, silk hosiery and clothing in
dustries were credited by the board with
boosting the general factory employ
ment level from 588 per cent of the
1923-1925 level in August to 60.3 per
cent in September. Coal movements
were said to be chiefly responsible for
the larger freight car loadings.

the board said wholesale commodity
prices decreased 2 per cent in the first
half of October from September's high
point.

those employed, since they are paid by

change in work schedules during prog

an increase to some textent in the cost
to the contractor.
