and MT. Green in his capacity as secretary of the Merchants bureau. To-day's only official statement came from Joseph Sugenheimer, chairman of the Waterbury Mer- chants bureau. MT. Sugen heimer's statement asked that merchants follow the wishes of the adminis- tration as expressed. by Donald Richberg in a Washington state- ment asking for voluntary continu- ance of MIRA provisions. Situation Unchanged The general situation of MIRA here was unchanged to-day, with merchants and manufacturers alike continuing plans for voluntary CO., operation until decisive action has been taken at Washington. Little change in hours and wage sched- ules is expected here, at least in the near future.
 There was emphasis placed again to-day on the fact that all coopera- tion is purely voluntary. But the general sentiment expressed in business and manufacturing circles was that employees had no reason for alarm about their status.
 Sugenheimer Statement
 The statement issued by MT. Sug- enheimer follows:
 Joseph Sugenheimer, chairman of the Merchants Bureau of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, calls attention of the entire com munity to the wishes of the admin istration, as expressed by Donald Richberg in his statement, in which he declares:
 T hope that all employers here tofore operating under approved, codes and all employees will coop crate in maintaining standards of fair competition in commercial and labor relauons-and which rep- resent the united effort to elimin- ate dishonest, fraudulent trade practices and unfair competition in overworking and underpaying la- bor."
 MT. Sugenheimer manifested, when interviewed this morning, that the statement Is one of educa- tion only and asks the community to use good judgment during the period of liquidation of NRA, which is now underway, as 8 result of the decision of the supreme court as to the unconstitutionality of the act.

PREDICTS
GREATER GOLF
SEASON
Better golf times are just around

Better golf times are just around
the corner-and no Spoofing.
That's the prediction Of AL Farr,
new assistant to S. G. Leoffler,
the gentleman who runs the links
activities at three of the local
public park courses, East Potomac,
Rock Greek and West Potomac.
Besides, Farr backs up his as
sertion with the following decla-
ration:
1--WE never seen so many new
faces at East Potomac Park in
the last five years as I've seen
during the few weeks we've been
open this spring. Then, too,
the regulars of the past few
years are as faithful as ever.
That bespeaks a great season
for golf this year, not only here
1T East Potomac, but elsewhere
In Washington.
"Why Sunday before last we
were completely deluged with
players and we're all sold out
Of rental clubs. That certainly
is q good sign, for if they flock
out in so great numbers so early
in the season. that means
there'll be half as many more
when warmer weather sets in.
Yes, sir, the golf depression is
over"
Farr is planning to open the
driving range at East Potomac
within a few days, but only for
use at nights. The old golf shop
excepting that portion used fo1
club repairing, will be remodeled
into a lounging room. That part
Of the old golf shop where golf
equipment was on display will be
transferred to the cafeteria
so the latest model clubs, balls
etc., will catch a prospective buy
er's eye more quickly.
The Washington times., 1935-03-15

that Cd the recent squirt in pro-
duction overlook the quantity Of
products demanded at present
prices, with the result that (2)
prices weakened, and that 90
some curtailment of production
was required.
Briefly stated, the facts are,
first, that production of pig iron
and steel increased more than sea-
sonally, and reached the highest
point since last June. Average
daily steel production, however,
made the smallest monthly gain
since October. And the pig iron
output gained so rapidly on steel
production as to suggest that the
end of the move may be near.
The continued weakening Of
the market for steel scrap is a
confirmatory symptom. Machine
tool orders also declined sharply.
There have thus been three
"boomlets'' in steel since the New
Dealers took over, each sharp but
short, and each "peaking out" at
a successfully lower level.
Factory employment, however,
will probably follow steel in
showing a February rise of some
what more than seasonal proper
tions. There was gain of 81
per cent (unadjusteO in New
York State employment, metals,
machines, textiles and needle
trades being leaders.
It is notable that this time
the payrolls increased at only
about the same rate as the
employment.
Living costs are estimated to
be So per cent higher than a
year ago, which means that the
laborer's payroll dollar does not
buy so much.
