MADRID, September Careful
estimates of casualties in the first six
weeks of Spain's civil war, based on
reports to the Red Cross and other
available statistics, place the dead at
between $4,000 and 100000.
The wounded are in the neighbor-
hood of 100000.
Both sides have exaggerated the
losses inflicted on each other. But
official circles are understood to ad-

The population was aroused by

The bombardment lasted for almost
three quarters of an hour. Then
small groups of frightened citizens be-

Later, the ministry Of war reported

CHAMBER PUTS
JOBS DRIVE
IN MOTION

international News Service
Physical machinery for a new
drive to ferret out and bring to
light every opportunity for new
jobs was swinging into action to-
day at the direction Of the United
States chamber of commerce.
While 1000 delegates to the
chambers twenty-fourth annual
meeting just concluded, Streamed
homeward, officials at national
headquarters already were setting
, up preliminary units for the reem-
ployment work.
The decision to conduct the re-
employment survey was made by
the business leaders early in the
week. They invited the Federal
government to unite with them in
the work Of speeding rehiring Of
idle millions.
Business CO0perateS
Almost without exception, the
delegates went on record as OPP
posed to President Roosevelt's poll
cies of government, but in the
move to aid the unemployed, de-
termined that every organized
group of the country-including
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES unite in
the common cause.
A tabulating machine company
has put at the service Of the
chamber all the office machines
it will need. Several other big
business organizations have offered
the service Of their trained StaffS.
But, nothing has been heard yet
from any governmental agency in
response to the chambers invita-
ton.
President Harper Sibley, Of the
chamber, will name special com
mittee to head the survey work,
Check-up of Opportunities
The first phase will consist OF
a compilation Of unemployment
statistics, with emphasis laid on
determining the spots in the coun-
try where idleness is most in
tense. The second, and most i'm
portant part, will be checkup Of
all Industries and business, to de-
terlnine just how jobs can be
provided in the sectors where
there are large numbers Of un-
employed.
Every effort will be directed
toward providing jobs in local
tiles where they are most needed
but. Of course the main objec.
tive win be simply to provide jobs.
Chamber executives privately
predicted the survey will turn up
thousands of opportunities for the
joblesS.

FURTHER CLIMB
Total for 22 Leading Cities
Reaches Best Level in
Eight Weeks.

NEW YORK, September 3.-Further
expansion appeared in the record of
bank clearings for the latest week,
which included the first two days Of
September. The current aggregate
was the highest in eight weeks.
The total, as reported to Dun 81
Bradstreet, for 20 leading cities in the
United States for the week ended We'd
nesday, September 2, was $5,842 ,27o, :
900, against $4,261 ,026, 900 for the
similar period Of 1885, a gain Of 37.l
per cent.
This contrasted with q decline Of
06 per cent q week earlier. A fair
comparison cannot be made between
the current weeks total and that In
the similar 1885 period, because Of
the Labor day holiday which fell q
week earlier in 1885.
The first increase in eight weeks also
occurred at New York City, where
clearings rose to $3,871, $4,000, the
highest level since the week ended
July 8. In the week preceding, the
aggregate was only $2,708, TAI 900, and
In the corresponding week of last year
it was $2,809, ,306, 900. The daily aver
age at New York City for the past
week was nearly Is per cent in excess
of the 1885 comparative. On that
basis. the aggregate for that city would
have shown an increase even if six
days were included in last years
report.
The amount for the current period
at outside centers was S1,970, 1886, 900,
a gain Of 35.8 per cent over last years
total. Large gains were registered at
all cities, notably Buffalo, Pittsburgh,
Cleveland, Atlanta, Detroit, Dallas ard
Seattle.
Total clearings were s1,317,374,0C0
higher than the amount reported fer
the previous period. Between the tvo

NEW PEAK SEEN
FORSTEEL PROFITS
Marked Rise in Output
Stressed by Forecast
From Paris.
specia: Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, September 3.-The
any year during the business recovery
movement are clearly outlined for
1896, according to q forecast appear
ing in Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys. This conclusion may be
drawn from the marked pickup in
production during the years first half
together with indications that rela-
lively high operating rates will be
maintained.
steel production In the first seven
months Of 1885," continues the fore
cast, rose to 25,249, 900 gross tons, q
SO per cent gain over the 18,3l0,0o
tons produced in the same 1885 period
and almost equal to the total 1884
production Of 25.599, 900 tons.
Light Steel Earnings Curtailed.
"The figures on output, however,
fail to provide an accurate clue to
the earnings trends of individual COM
panies. In that respect light steel pro-
ducers, in numerous cases, lost ground
during the first half of this year.
Earnings were retarded in the
early 1885 months by the slower pace
OF automobile output, by extraordi-
nary expenses incident to the floods
and by the weak price structure. In
the second quarter output expanded,
but profits failed to rise over the
comparative 1895 level, as profit mar
gins were restricted by the large ex-
pansion program of mills whose ca
pacity for light steel production had
been greatly stepped up.
THE indications of moderately
higher sales for makers of automo-
biles. electrical refrigexators, house
hold supplies and other consumer
goods suggest somewhat larger sales
and earnings for light steel makers.
However, these various lines have re-
covered so close to normal that fur
ther large increases In the sales and
earnings Of light steel makers are
not anticipated.
Heavy Steel Outlook Good.
Operating at around 70 per cent
OF capacity in June, steel production
reflected the desire Of consumers to
secure supplies before price advances
went into effect on July /. The in
dustry's ability to maintain its out
put at approximately the same level
to date, however, spells necessitous
demand from consumers for cur
rent use.
For that reason, it Is doubtful
that more than a slight letdown will
be experienced before the usual Fall
upturn gets under way. Contributing
to the encouraging outlook for still
greater heavy steel sales are the ac-
tive plant expansion programs by
general business. the marked improve
ment in heavy construction, and the
much more active buying Of rail-
road equipment"

AUTO INVENTORIES
At 1QyEAR Low
New Car Shortage Likely
as Result of Stabilized
Production Plans.
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASsocieteo Pfess.
DETROIT. September s.-The dis
tributing division Of the motor car
industry Is beginning to feel the ef-
feet of several weeks Of retail de-
mand that exceeded factory output
That condition, long the dream Of the
automobile manufacturer as q new
model season approached, finds the
dealers with q smaller stock Of new
cars on hand than in any Like period
during the last decade.
Because the production division Il
pointing toward o stabilized assembly
program rather than q sharp spurt
with the introduction Of the 1887
models, more than one authority in
the industry is forecasting q short
age Of new cars during the early Fall
months.
Some of the manufacturers who
closed down for inventory fortnight
or more ago went back into produc-
ton Of 1896 models, but the assembly
volume has been held down by these
makers to actual dealer needs for cur
rent demand. It has been authori-
tatively estimated the number of new
cars on dealers floors is sufficient for
barely three weeks Of present demand
If this be correct, delayed deliveries
are more than probable during the
final weeks of 1896. Thus far inven-
tory shutdowns have been fairly well
staggered and the manufacturers
have planned to avoid complete sus-
pension Of operations. At the same
time producers who resumed assembly
Of 1896 models after their inventory
idleness must halt production again
when the switch over to next years
types is made.
This must complete the shrinkage
of available new-car stocks in dealers
possession, so that the distributing
division again will be clamoring for
deliveries as soon as the different pro-
ducing units get into assembling oper-
ations on their new models.
