SURVEY SHOWS
STEADY CAIN IN
AUTO INDUSTRY
Thousands Are Employed As
Car Production Moves
to Capacity.
BY JAMES c. AUSTIN
United Press stan Correspondent

(Copvrieht. 1898. BY United Press
DETROIT, April l0.-With the
arrival of spring and improvement
of the national banking situation,
the automobile industry again is in
high gear.
A United Press survey today
showed that thousands of workers
have been called back to the Ford,
General Motors ChrySler and other
large factories; production sched-
ules are being stepped up and sales
increases are being reported steadily.
While the pick up is partly sea-
sonal-Spring is the best sales period
Of the year-manufacturerS believe
1t reflects also a general improve
ment in business.
Whirring wheels OF industry today
were in sharp contrast to the in
activity of automobile factories a
month ago during the bank holiday.
Small Car OUTPUT Largest
Sales have increased. particularly
in the low-priced field, neceSsitated
revamped production ranging from
200 to 1000 cars a day Workers in
groups of 1,400 to $4,000 returned to
their drills and dies.
General Motors plants in Michi-
gan were ordered to resume produc-
ton schedules on March 20. The
corporations Buick, Chevrolet and
Fisher body plants re-employed 26,-
900 men.
Chevrolet produced $4,000 more
cars for the first quarter of 1888
than in the similar period last year.
Buick sold 3,111 cars during March
and its sales at the end of the
month were reported at 81 per cent
above those for the first ten-day
period. Pontiac dealers were TAX
ing machines from the assembly
line at the rate of $50 a day
Ford Demand Increases
Henry Ford is producing 1000
automobiles daily, considerably be-
hind the demand, after a shutdown
in his factories all over the country
caused by a strike at the Briggs
body plant. He is employing $1,000
men at his River Rouge factories
here.
Graham-Paige spurted 40 per cent
in the third week of March and
1,400 workers were called back to
augment the regular force retained
during the financial holiday.
Continental Motors announced re-
opening OF its out-state plant next
week to cope with more than 1900
untitled orders.
ChrySIer Motors resumed Six-day-
a-week production March Is after
a holiday shutdown and shipped out
2,5O3 cars in the next fifteen days.
Studebaker and WHY'S Overland.
Two veterans of the industry, con-
tlnued producing despite receiver
ships. Studebaker reported record
sales during the last week of March
Tor the year and production at its
South Bend, Ind, plants still Laying
behind orders. approximately 1900
men at the Toledo, o. WHY'S fac
tory are building 4,4OO trucks for the
international Harvester Company.
Record Sales Reported
Nash Motors said both production
and sales have increased.
Packard announced a AZ per cent
increase IN sales during the last ten
days of March. Production will be
increased to meet still greater de-
mand for Packard cars this month.
Hudson and Essex are in full
speed, turning out 200 automobiles a
DAY. Six thousand workers were
employed to meet an early April de-
mand estimated at 60 per cent above
past month.

Wage Reductions Since
1929 3 Per Cent Greater
Than Price Declines.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, April 10.-Although
the cost of living in 1882 declined %
per cent from the 1929 level, a
further decline during 1893 is in
prospect, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institutes cure t
bulletin, which points out that the
drop in the cost of living is out of
line with the much greater drop in
wages and wholesale prices.
The cost of living in the United
States, the bulletin says declined n
per cent during 1882, according to
figures compiled by the bureau of
labor statistics at Washington. This
decrease reduced the cost of living
to a level 22.9 per cent below the
pre-depression peak reached in De-
cember, 1929.
Factory wage rates have been
reduced by approximately &c per
cent since 1929, as compared with
decline of % per cent in the cost
of living. In previous depressions,
wages have shown less of decline
than the cost of living. In the de-
preston of 1921 wages declined Ill

Alaska.
The remaining species, the Dog or
Chum salmon, averages eight pounds

and abundant, but, owing to the poor
quality of the flesh, is the least fmpor-
tant of the group. The distortion of
the laws in the male during the breed

Dog salmon.

Odd Happenings Tha-
Plague Railroad Men

These stories Of the railroads may
sound rather tall, says writer In
London Answers. but. he adds, they
are all quite true.
A train was delayed for some
hours recently because mile OF the
track was covered with caterpillars.
and the wheels of the rolling-stock
refused to grip. This happened In
India, but some weeks ago, London
ers on most OF the tubes found them
selves crawling along at half speed.
The slow-up lasted for an hour and
half. The cause-leayes! Dead
leaves drifting down the Thames had
choked the metal screen protecting
the pipes which supply the Lots
Road power station with water.
The result was that the power house
could only generate half the normal
output of current. Near Oakley,
Kan, some time ago, high wind
blew such quantities of dead and dry
thistes into a cutting that the whole
train service was held up for nearly
a day before the line could be
cleared And a Bulgarian train was
once wrecked by rose leaves. 1t was
derailed by a great sack of rose
petals, dropped at a crossing from
wagon carting them to scent
factory.

SALMON A FISH
OF GREAT VALUE
Supports Vast Industry on
Pacific Coast.

Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington. d. C.-WNU Service
~ ONE two thousand Chinook sal
mon from the Pacific coast
~ which were Matched in the aquar-
ium of Washington's new De
partment of Commerce building, will
be placed in Deep Creek lake, Mary
land, whose waters drain into the up
Der Potomac. 1t is hoped the fish will
ind their way to salt water and re-
turn, in four years, to spawn, thus
stocking the historic river.
Pacific salmon are the most valu-
able fishes, not only Of the United
States but also Of the entire western
hemisphere; and with the single ex-
ception of the sea behring's, they are
commercially the leading fishes of the
world.
In one year the aggregate catch of
salmon In the Pacific states, British
Columbia, and Alaska was upward of
four hundred million pounds; which,
frozen and fresh condition. had mar
ket value of about s27,750,O0O. The
canned product alone, consisting of
more than five million cases of 48 one
pound cans, was worth $25,5OO,OOO
Thirty five thousand people we're en-
gagged in the different branches of the
industry. and the invested capital was
fully $3O,OOO,000.
There are FIVE distinct species of
salmons, which. having many charac-
teristics in common, nevertheless DIFF
fer strikingly in size color, habits, dis
tribution, food value. and economic
Importance The largest and most
magnificent of all salmons is the Chi
nook, Quinnat, King, Spring, or Tyee
salmon. 1t has an average weight OF
