NRA Admits Jobs,
Wages Down; Living
Costs and Profits Up

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - The
.NRA publicity department has a very
definite bias in favor Of statistic that
sound like Recovery. Every few days
it gets out pages of cheerinful snippets,
which it calls "Milestones Along Re
covery Highway" They tell of work
ers going back to jobs, wages going up,
sales and general conditions improving
with a sour note about other
workers being laid off, living costs 60
ing up, etc.
But something happened to it at New
Years, Right at the end of a release
of optimism and self-congratulation,
the NRA included a table of indexes,
showing what has happened to produc-
ton, employment, payrolls and cost Of
living.
This is what the NRA index figures
show. Employment declined from $50
to Isl between August and October
(the latest figures given, as compared
to 78.8 in May. After a year Of Re
covery, it was lower than the level Of
October, 1888, which was FOL.
The more abundant life for workers
was expressed in a sharp drop in
wages than in jobs. The payroll index
(total wages dropped from 81 to $50
between August and October, as
against OILS in May, 1884.
Total wages increased from 54.4 in
October 1888 to $50 in October 1884
But as against this o%ne-point rise in
wages, cost of living increased from %
to 76.1 more than three points. Liv-
ing costs have also shown a steady in
crease through the year, while jobs
and wages have dropped just as stead
lily since spring,
The production index has decreased
after a years progress along Recovery
Highway, from 64.7 in October 1888 to
OLA in October 1884, nearly IA points
below the levels Of spring, and a long
way below the levels of the summers
of 1888 and 1884.
But, if wages and jobs have dropped
behind, failing to hitch a ride on the
NRA highway, profits have raced past
them in Rolls-Royce style.
The same New Year release quotes
figures Of the National City Bank OF
New York to the effect that the prof
its of industrial corporations for the
first 9 months of 1884 show an in
crease of 76.1 per cent over the total
for the first 9 months Of 1888"
This period, the NRA continues,
while it includes the low OF March,
1888, also includes the feverish activity
OF July of that year, while the annual
rate OF return on net worth has in
creased from rs per cent to 81 per
cent"
Montana labor news., 1935-01-10

son ran far ahead Of 1888, with pre-
liminary reports indicating 10 per cent
to 20 per cent rises in the amount Of
business done.
The Christmas season appears to
have been the only factor that saved
the year 1884 from being a complete
disaster. Prosperity in 1885 hinges on
two elements-prices and payrolls. If
wages can continue to gain on prices,
sizeable steps towards recovery may be
made. If not, all the balanced budgets,
relief cuts and Blue Eagles between
here and the moon won't do any good.

Standard Of Living
Still Falling

NEW YORK. = (FP) - The Amer
can standard OF living fell again dur
ing 1884.
The actual amount of goods sold in
the United States per person during
the year is estimated to be less than
in 1888.
While the daily press ballyhoos the
increased dollar value Of retail sales,
it omits mention Of the fact that a rise
in the price Of commodities has prac-
tically eliminated any upward trend in
the volume of goods sold.
Value Of retail goods sold in 1884
amounted to % billion, according to
The New York Times. This figure is
As billion above the 1888 level, but still
20 billion under the boom-time 1929
peak.
A 14.6 per cent rise in wholesale
prices and a corresponding jump in the
retail selling prices of food, clothing
and furniture, as estimated by the De
partment of Labor, cut sharply into
the amount of goods that American
consumers got for their money. The
20 billion dollar retail trade, estimate.
when adjusted for price rises, fell to a
point only Is Of l per cent above the
1888 figure, and the amount Of goods
passed over the nations shop counters
was handed out in smaller portions be-
cause OF the increase in the popula-
ton.
Reports from the Kresge stores for
the first 10 months of the year indi-
cate drop in volume when price
changes are considered-of approXi-
mately 4 per cent.
Similarly, the amount Of goods
handled by the Woolworth chain
dropped about 9 per cent.
Automobile sales doomed, with a
half million cars more than last year
being sold. The amount of farm prod
ucts marked, on the other hand, was
seriously diminished by the ravages OF
the AAA and the drouth.
Prospects for the new year are
somewhat brighter, however, for the
rise in prices appears to be abating.
Clothing and house furnishing prices
on December l were 7/10 of l per cent
less than they were II months earlier
