FACE CRISIS

Federal employees face "the most
critical situation ever in history
of Federal employees legislation"
as a result of the present status Of
the independent offices appropria-
ton bill, according to John j. Bar
rett, president of the United Ma
tional Association of Postoffice
Clerks, in a message sent to mem
bers of that organization today.
Speaker Rainey's action in
sending the bill back to the House
Appropriations Committee was
unusual, he said, but it was taken
because there was practical GER
tainty that the House would ac-
cept the bill with the Senate
amendments, and this would in
vite a veto.
The action thus taken avoids a
veto, which would delay relief to
Government workers, the message
points out. President Roosevelt
will approve per cent restoration
as Of February 1; 5 per cent more
on July l, and automatic admins

ABOVE ENORNAL

Daily production of electricity
in January was 245, 100000 XVIII,
or per cent larger than the
daily output in December. The
normal change from December
to January is less than i per
cent.
The total output in January
was 10 per cent larger than in
January a year ago. The daily
output by use of water power
was about l per eent larger than
a year ago and about 81 per cent
of the total, which is to be COM
pared with 43 per cent in jan
uary, 1888.
These comparative figures in
dicate an auspicious start in the
production of electricity for pub
lie use at the beginning of the
year, according to the geological
survey of the Interior Depart
ment which prepared the report.
Electricity production in Jan
uary was 7,614,10S,000, compared
with 7.466,552,00O in December
and 7,242,914,00O in November,

FISHERS INDEX
At NEW HIGH

Prof. Irving Fishers index Of
wholesale commodity prices again
established new high ground for
the recovery, although the ad-
vance during the week ended
March 2 was somewhat smaller
than in recent periods.
The figure rose 2 fractional
points to 74.4 from 74.2, the previ-
GUS high. This compares with a
depression low of $50 on March
8, 1888, just a year ago, and with
an average of 56.1 in March,
1888.
Purchasing power of the dollar
fell to 134.5 from 134.8 during the
week. This compares with de-
preston high of 1917 on March
8, 1888, and with an average of
1871 in March, 1888.
British index of wholesale prices
declined for the second week in a
row, falling to $50 from 66.3.
This compares with depression low
of 58.7, with recovery high Of 66 4
two weeks ago and with average
of 900 in March, 1888.

MARKET GAINS
FAIL To STIR
PLUNG|NG
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, March 5 0.N.SO.
Wall Street goes into the new
week less concerned about the
market, but without much enthu-
siasm. The rally of the last two
days brought stocks well above
the lows, and suggests that a new
resistance base may have been
formed. At the same time, trad
ers aren't doing any reaching for
stocks as long as indications are
lacking that vigorous rise is in
the wind. Buying on reactions,
however, is still reported good.
The Street is quite keen about
the Presidents NRA talk tonight.
There are all kinds of guesses,
though everyone seems to feel he
will recommend a cut in working
hours to expand employment. {.
There is considerable concern
about the increase of costs in
volved, though it is hoped that a
bigger volume of business will
offset. this. Recent activity in
Shattuck is attributed to the re-
port that the company plans to
sell liquor in its stores.
There is a little more confidence
about commodities, with renewed
disposition to expect higher prices.
Spectators have been burned
plenty in grains and other staples,
though, and aren't doing any
loading up. 1t would be sur
prising if the gold price were
advanced at this time, in view
of the heavy borrowing the Gov
ernment is going to do this week.
The steady uptrend in chemi-
cal prices explains why their
shares hold around the best
prices of several years.
The new boomlet in the Lon
don stock market is instructive.
In addition to trade gains, an
important factor with the British
is the pressure of funds for in
vestment and the belief that
interest rates and yields will be
low for a long time to come. {.
An interesting sidelight is that
English railway stocks are now
selling in the aggregate for more
than in 1929. Once the none
tary situation and business get
stabilized on this side, the pie
thora of money seeking employ
ment is apt to become an i'm
portant market factor. . Even
now some leading stocks return
only between 8 and 4 per cent.

Bank clearings again have
turned somewhat irregular. In
part, this rejects, the wide differ
ence due to the short week Of five
days this year, against six days a
year age, at which time the bank
hcVday was pending.
Total clearings for the five days
this week compared with six days
last year, for all leading cities in
the United States, as reported to
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, were
$4,262,118,000, decrease of ITO
per cent.
At New York city clearings were
$2,981 ,557, 900, the reduction from
a year ago being 1872 per cent,
while for all centers outside of
New York the amount was $780,
SCI 900, or 14.6 per cent lower.
For most of the cities reporting,
a substantial loss is shown for the
five days this week, against six
days year ago. There are a
number of exceptions, however,
especially at the South. At this
time last year. banking operations
were wholly or partly suspended
at Baltimore and Detroit and the
clearings for the preceding week
are included for the purpose of
comparison.
At some cities, clearings this
week were in excess of those for
the preceding week, but the total
for the current week was below
that for last week by $1,039,-
995, 900, whereas a year ago there
was an increase for the six days Of
$1,O81 457 900 over the five days of
a week earlier.

SPRING To SEE
PWA At PEAK

Employment and construction
on projects of the $3,3OO,OOO,o00
Public Works program will reach
their peak late this spring.
Deputy Administrator Henry M.
Waite, has reported following an
inspection tour of PWA projects
in eevry State.
In making his report to Public
Works Administrator Harold L.
Ickes, Mr.. Waite said:
"The peak of the PWA re-
employment should come in the
late spring, according to the
best analysis of the field situa-
ton. Most projects which have
received aIIOtmentS will be
under construction as soon as
weather permits"

eagainSt labor, abuses against EN-
ployers or abuses against the con-
suming public, whether they per.
s!st either with the aid of codes
q" spite their prohibitions.
does not mean that we
c oncS make perfect many
h codes covering the major
ira - a1d industries of the Ma.
ton, nor that we can get a mark
of perfection in a day or
month.
1t does mean that we have ar.
rived at the time for taking stock,
for correcting manifest errors, for
roofing out demonstrated evils.
One year ago we were suffering
and shrinking under economic
pressure so intolerable that collapse
was at hand. We had arrived at
the day to make our choice. We
made that choice. The American
people responded to the call for
action with eager enlistment-en-
liStment in the struggle against
ruthless self-seeking, reckless greed
and economic anarchy. We un-
dertook by lawful, constitutional
processes to reorganize a disinte-
grating system of production and
exchange.
The methods and details of that
reorganization may and will
change from year to year, but it is
very certain that the American
people understand that the pur-
pose of the reorganization was
not only to bring back prosperity.
1t was far deeper than that.
The reorganization must be per.
manent for all the rest of our
lives in that never again will we
allow the social conditions which
allowed the vast sections of our
population to exist in an un-Amer.
ican way, which allowed a maI-dis-
tribution of wealth and of power.
Progress of A Year.
The willingness of all elements
to enter into the spirit of the New
Deal becomes more and not less
evident as it goes on.
AS an example, I have just re-
ceived a telegram from Mr.. Fran
els M. Law, the president of the
American Bankers Association.
In it he said:
"On this your first anniver.
Sary please allow me in behalf
of the cOuntry'S banks to ex-
press our full confidence and
our sincere desire to cooperate
in your courageous effort to
bring about recovery. The bank
ing structure of the country is
sound and liquid and banks
have never been in stronger posi-.
tiOn to function effectively. Con-
ditions have improved to the
point where it is no longer
necessary for banks to be super.
liquid. There is a definite call
now for banks not to extend
loose credits or to make impro-
per loans but for a most SYM
pathetic attitude towards legiti-
mate credit needs and for a
recognition of responsibility for
their proper and vital part in
the program of recovery"
Think back exactly one year
ago today. You know where the
banks stood at that time; you
know where your own business
stood
That telegram is a living illus,
tration of the progress we have
made
Let us consolidate our gains ana
let us resolve that the consolida
ton shall be for the continued
progress and especially for the
greater happiness and well being
of the American people"
