but the purchasing power of the individual wage-earner diminished, because of the rise in living costs. While average actual weekly earn ings increased slightly, 0.5b, the cost of living rose in greater de- gree, 2.3G6. The net result was q loss of 1.sGS in purchasing power for the individual worker.
 Tn the first months of the busi- ness upturn that begin in April the trend of real wages, or individual purchasing power, was upward. Average real weekly earnings in- creased 6.2G6 in April, 7.8% in May, and 9.6% in June, the per- centage increase in each case being measured from the level of the preceding month. The cost of living started to rise in May and continu- ed upward in June, the increase in each month, however, being less than .1eo.
 Meanwhile, the National 1ndus- trial Recovery Act. one of the main objectives of which IS to build purchasing power by raising wage levels and spreading employment, became effective June 1G, although the first code was not approved till one month later, July 1G. The presidents Unemployment Agree ment was launched July 27.
 In July the advance of real wages remained practically station- ary in July registering negligible increase of 0.2co. The cost of liv- ing rose ago. in July. Tn the next month, August. the upward trend of real wages was reversed, and for the first time since March the Con- ference board figures showed q de- cline in average real weekly earn ings.
 Briefly, what has happened to individual earnings and purchasing power of industrial workers is this: Living costs, rising steadily, have overtaken and passed weekly earn ings in the upward movement of wages and prices, the rise of week. ly earnings having been checked by reduction of working hours. As a result, average real weekly earn. ings have declined. The average in. dustrial wage-earner was worse off in August than in July, so far as the purchasing power of the con- tents of his weekly pay envelope was concerned.

 SHOE cos OPEN
Dispute Ends To-day With Operations Resumed
 More Reopen Monday

Brockton, Mass, october - CUP) - Ending Q long and bitter dispute that had lasted more than a month, three Brockton shoe fac- tories resumed operations today and II others were to reopen Mon- day under an agreement reached between the workers and the Brockton Shoe ManufacturerS As- soclation last night.
 Casting aside a 30-year contract they had held with the Boot and Shoe Workers union, formerly su- preme in the district, the manu. lecturers announced recognition of the right of the employees to par ticipate in collective bargaining with representatives of their own choosing.
 This decision was 6 complete victory for tho workers, constitut- ing recognition of the Brotherhood of Shroe and Allied Craftsmen, q union that grewo ut of the Boot and Shoe Workers union when the later set up Q dictatorship last spring. Though tho Brotherhood for some time had boasted a rr1a- jority of the workers, the older union sought to maintain its exclu- sive contract with the manufac- turers. The matter was placed be- fore tho National Labor Board, whose decision, expected today will mean little In any event in view of the settlement reached last night.
 The Diamond, Stone and Harlow, and Doyle shoe companies resum. ed work today and II others of Brockton's 16 shoe factories will reopen Monday.
