JANUARY AUTO
SALES DOWN

Sales of passenger automobiles
in January, 1884, in IL States
reported to date total 51,683, &C.
cording to R. L. Polk & Co.
The total to date is 1887 per
cent less than registrations in
the same States in January, 1888,
when 67,714 passenger cars were
sold. The figure, however, repre-
sents an increase of 5.16 per cent
over sales in December, 1888,
when 49,149 cars were registered.
On the basis Of the Al States
reported, the Polk estimate for
total passenger car sales in the
United States IN January has
been slightly revised, and now
stands at $1,000.
Truck sales, the report showed,
continued their substantial in
crease over the same month last
year. In 80 States representing
70 per cent Of the United States
truck sales totaled 16,433 in Jan
uary, 1884. This represents an
increase of 94.91 per cent over
January, 1888, sales in the same
States as well as an increase Of
41.98 per cent over December,
1898.
The Poly estimate for CONNER

in January now stands at $4,000.

earn the money with which to
pay the added costs, General John
son, representing the Recovery Ad-
ministration; William Green, rep
resenting organized labor, and men
like Edward Filene representing
progressive business, will reply by
pointing to the statistical record
and saying:
"Well, there are your in
creased earnings. We told you
what would be the result six
months ago, but you wouldn't
believe it. Backed by Old-line
economists, you fought against
any shortening of hours or rails

missed. If you had gone the
limit then, you would be better
off, even, now. If you 60 the

parably better off six months

result another compromise. A bit

vinced your observer that even

a bargain.
Will Show Fight
They don't like General John
sons tentative 32-hour suggestion.
Much less do they like the 80
hour week advocated by organized
labor and the so-called radicals.
They'll put up a big show of fight,
Of course, against any reduction
in hours or increase in wages. But
in their hearts they are ready to
compromise on something like
this:
A 36-hOur work week base
standard, With exceptions and
exemptions in about the same
ratio as on the present 4O-hOur
base, with increase in hourly
pay rates sufficient to hold the
weekly individual earning at
about what it is now.
The advocates of the 3O-hour
week will put up a battle before
they will accept any such com.
promise, and may be able to force
something more through, but they
have still to reckon with the con.
sumer representatives who have
come to life to claim some share
in the new prosperity.
