The only decline has been in in
dustrial production, and this is due
to the decline in steel, more than
anything else
If you average up all these factors
you will find the January indeH of
business, seasonably adjusted, about
694 per cent of normal Q923-l925):
February, 697. and March, 70.
This could hardly be called going
backward.
Prospects Not Inspiring.
1t does not mean that the existing
business situation would justify asking
the boss for raise. Essentially, We
are today just about at the level of
March last year. The prospects for
the next few months are not inspiring,
in view of the bulge in production at
the turn of the year. This bulge will
undoubtedly be taken out of the
Spring figures and may force con-
tinued shrinkage in production gen.
orally. >
But 1t does mean that the averaged
troubles Of steel. machinery, trans
portation, equipment, lumber, metals,
glass, brick. autos, have obscured the
fairly good averaged encouragements
of textiles. tobacco. leather, shoes,
food. paper, chemicals, rubber.
Employment in the first group
averaged only 69.3 per cent OF
normal in the Official February fig
ures. while employment in the
second group Uns 9l.1. In other
,Uords, the non-durdble are NTH
in S per cent OF their employment
during 1925.
You nfgure out the general layout
for yourself from the monthly figures
in the table below. The price index Is
based on 1926 as 100. but all the others
are based on 1923-25. All except pay
rolls and prices are adjusted for sea-
sonal variations. which means that
each figure is the actual estimated
percentage of normal for the times
stated.
It is true there have been few in
creases in any major lines of produc-
ton lately.
Steel Drop Seen.
Steel was unchanged in February.
but will be down in March. The au-
tomobile demand for steel has eaSed
up. Rails are not buying and build
ing construction is not using much.
The average of steel production for
March will be about Al or 48 per cent.
The trend will continue slightly down.

Textiles suffered q contraseasonal

to do with 1t. Lumber is down, due
to high stocking and low demand
(building again. Cement Is up a
little. shoes unchanged and tobacco
down.
Automobile production is being
strung out more than expected. The
February production was slightly more
than seasonal, but In one week OF
March production went over 100000
cars. This is more than any week OF
1894. However. the final figure for
March will probably not be more than
seasonally expected.
Three lines Of cars have been unable
to meet their market demands so far,
although Ford Is now supposed to be
caught up.
Have Wider Range.
You may have wondered how fac
tory employment and factory pay
rolls could increase while production
was falling. The answer Is that the
employment and pay roll figures cover
q much wider range of small indus
tries than the production figure.
which is heavily weighted with steel,
autos, textiles, etc. This is further
evidence that there is some other
manufacturing in the country out
side the big industries.
Car loadings are running better
because of demand for bituminous
coal. Some consumers have been
stocking up. fearing a strike when
the wage agreement expires shortly,
although the best authorities here do
not expect a strike to materialize.

PINK SLIP REPEAL
PASSEDBY SENATE
Approved by 53.to-16 Vote.
Roosevelt Expected
to Sign Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Pink slip income tax publicity was
considered as good as dead today after
the Senate, by a 53-to-l6 vote, had
passed the repeal bill which previously
swept through the House.
There was little doubt on Capitol
Hill that President Roosevelt would
sign the bill. First, however, the
measure went back to the House be-
cause the Senate had tackled on an
amendment permitting State and local
tax officials to inspect the returns. No
difficulty was anticipated in reaching
q quick agreement about this change
Therefore, the little pink slips-cn
which taxpayers wrote information
about their 1884 incomes-were slated
to 60 into the discard instead of being
made available to public view.
La Toilette Fights Repeal
Forty-three Democrats and 10 Re-
publicans joined in reversing the stand
for income tax publicity which the
Senate has maintained for years.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, Of
wisconsin, long an advocate of full
publicity. was Joined by five Repub-
licanS and 10 Democrats in Opposi-
ton to repeal
In the Senate debate yesterday, talk
OF new taxes again was injected. 1t
came during discussion OF an amend
ment by La Toilette to boost income
taxes by $275 100000. Chairman
Harrison of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, in raising a successful point
of order against the amendment, said
sooner or later We might have to
pass revenue bill or extend the taxes
that expire on June 80"
The amendment to permit State
and local officials to inspect the re-
turns was proposed by Senator Costi-
gan, Democrat, of Colorado.
FURRY Over Conferees.
A little furry over the appointment
of conferees followed the announce
ment Of the vote by Vice President
Garner. Harrison moved to ask the
House for a conference and appoint
| conferees. La Toilette objected, say
ing the House might adopt the Senate
amendment without a conference.
Finally, however. the motion car
ried and Garner appointed Senators
Harrison, King of Utah and George
of Georgia, as the Democrats, and
Senators Couzens of Michigan and
Keyes of New Hampshire as the
Republicans
| Couzens Immediately resigned as a
conferee, and Garner named La Fol-
lette to substitute. The Wisconsin
Senator also resigned and the Vice
President then named Senator Met
calf, Republican, of Rhode Island.
