R. F. c. LOANS TO AID.
MACHINERY TRADE.
Funds to Stimulate Public
Works Have Already
Been Supplied.
BY FRANK H. MCCONNELL.

NEW YORK, October 4 [P.-The
machinery and machine equipment in
dllstries are relying heavily upon Re-
construction Finance Corporation loans
and the rehabilitation drive Of the
Robertson Committee to enable them
to pull back to normal business ac-
tivity.
The first Of the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation loans. aimed to
stimulate public works, have already
made their appearance. Moreover, the
Committee for Industrial Rehabilita-
ton. headed by A. w. Robertson, has
started its campaign to induce manu-
facturers to repair equipment, and,
where funds are available, to renovate
shops.
Department of Commerce figures
the industry has fallen. In 1880, new
orders for woodworking machinery
averaged s789. 900 month. For 1881
the average was s446.000 and during
the second quarter Of 1882, 1t was s240,-
600. In July. there was a moderate
upturn to $3.50 900.
New orders for steam, power and
centrifugal pumps, which averaged ST.
294 900 a month in 1880 and S767,0o0
in 1891. fell to 1891 900 for July, 1882.
Export sales likewise shrunk The
industry reports modest pickup. al
though still so per cent or more below
normal.
Federal aid in the form Of loans for
highway construction totaled $4,000, 600
in the week ended September II, and
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation

toward farm mortgages were expected
to grip attention An effort has been
made throughout the fifth district
territory to get holders of farm mort
cages to postpone all foreclosures in
cases where the interest on these mort
cages has been paid. Extension of
such mortgages has been urged until
prices for farm products give returns
large enough to furnish cash with
which to meet the mortgage payments.
This move is in line with a cam
paign now under way in the Middle
West to rave the homes and land of
family for generations.
Another important matter which the
local committee is studying is the move
to spread employment among more
people by reducing the hours of those
already employed. This proposal was
due for discussion and possible recon-
mendationS at the session here Many
other vital problems were also on the
program.
The committee is made up of two
members from each State in the fifth
district. Chairman Graham and Robert
V. Fleming are the Washington men,
bers, and Hileary G. Hoskinson, vice
president of the Riggs National Bank,
is the committees secretary. The men,
bers are chairmen of regional commit
tees in their own States so are in very
close touch with all recovery steps and
progress.
