JOB RISE NOT.
IN PACE WITH
ACTIVITY

Employment failed to keep pace
with increases in industrial pro-
duetion, while pay rolls showed an
actual decline in July compared
with June, the Federal Reserve
Board reported yesterday.
Considering usual summer sea.
Sonal factors, the boards monthly
business summary showed en-
ployment gained but one point in
July over June, while nearly all
industrial production gains ranged
from to points.
Indicating the recovery move
ment was failing to boost employ
ment to the point of equalllng in
duStrial production, the boards
indexes showed pay rolls had de-
clined from 1877 in June to 77.8 in
July.
Five-POint Gain
In contrast with the one-point
employment gain and the one
point pay roll loss, the board re-
ported the index for general in
dustrial production in July was
108, a 5-point increase over June'S
103. Iron and steel increased from
113 to 119, making the biggest
single gain.
While pay rolls declined, COM
modify prices increased, the board
reported, adding:
Factory pay rolls decreased BY
a smaller amount than Is usual
in July.
wholesale commodity prices
continued to advance between
the middle of July and the mid
die of August. Prices of wheat,
flour, feed grains and dairy
products rose considerably owing
primarily to the drought, and
livestock prices also advanced,
while cotton declined"
Stressing the more optimistic
features of the business picture,
the board reported:
USUALLY DECLINES
Industrial production, which
usually declines considerably in
July, was maintained at the
level of the preceding three
months.
"In the first three weeks Of
August there was little change
in activity at the steel mills,
while at automobile factories
output was curtailed as prepara-
tiOnS were made for the pr0duc-
tiOn of 1887 models.
"Output Of nOndurable prod
uctS was larger in July than in
June, reflecting chiefly q sharp
rise in activity at cotton mills,
and greater than seasonal in
creases in production at shoe
factories, silk mills and flour
mills. At coal mines output in
creased and crude petroleum
continued to be produced in
large volume" . d, .
The report said a gain had been
made in employment at steel mills,
foundry and machine shops in
July over June, but losses occurred
at railroad repair shops.

GAS SALES RISE
: HERE IN JULY

The monthly report of the
Washington Gas Light Company
&howS net operating revenue of
$39,282 for July, compared with
$56,045 for July of last year.
This $16,763 decrease is attribut-
liable to an increase in the amount
for retirement of property of
$16,109, and an increase in other
operating expenses of $6,288 due
ito the larger colume of gas sales.
Operating revenues increased
IS, ,634 in spite of the rate reduc-
tion effective December 16, 1885.
:, Although the net result of the
.1nonth's operations was the usual
summer loss, which increased
..$29,982 for July over July a year
;ago, the increase was due princi-
rpally to the new bookkeeping
provision for retirementS. How
ever, gas sales increased by 40,000,-
900 cubic feet. Net income for
the seven months ended July 81
was $615,756.
The monthly report of the
GEORGETOWN GaSlight Company
shows a seasonal net loss Of
s$12,723 for July as compared with
q loss of $9,117 for July of last
year; this result being attributable
to increased provision for retire
rnent of property and also due to
the rate reduction effective De-
HCember Is, 1885.
Gas sales increased 100000
cubic feet over July year ago
and the net income for seven

 Chicago, June 30 (UP)--The time in which third parties may qualify for column of their own on the November ballot has expired in seven states, a nationwide sur- vey by the United Press showed to- day. Tn most states, however, new parties may obtain official labels for their candidates on the ballot through state conventions or peti- tions. Where this is impossible, third party candidates such as Presidential Candidate . William Lemke, may choose to run as "in- dependents" or seek sponsorship oi existing parties. Tn other cases third party candidates will have to rely on their constituents to scratch out the name of qualified candidates and write in their names or those of presidential electors. Where Time Expired
 The time for qualifying third parties for Q space and label on the ballot has expired in California, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
 Third party candidates in Califor- mia, Wisconsin and Texas may get their nameS--designated as "inde. pendent"-on the ballots by present. ing petitions signed by specified numbers of voters--l00,000 in Cali- fornia, 1000 in Wisconsin, 4,s7l in Texas.

MARRIAGES ARE
 LOSING GROUND
June Record Was Thirty . Per Cent Less This
 Year Than Last a,

Marriages during the current month of June dropped off thirty per cent as compared with the flg- ure of June, 19S5, 1t was disclosed today in a survey of records at the office of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan, The decrease is believed in line with the 50 per cent drop in marriages in the state as @ whole for the first i've months of 1886. Required blood tests preceding issuance of licenses are considered the cause of the sharp drop-off. Earlier in June a total of seventeen marriage inten- tions were filed in the local town clerks office over a weekend. The total number of marriages solemniz- ed here to date this month is 65. The total for June, l936, was 95.
 Thirty Behind
 In other words, the present months total is thirty behind the total for June of last year. In June of l936, also, 19 local couples were married out of town. There are no figures yet available on the persons from this city who went elsewhere to be married during June 9, 1886. Since Connecticut's law requiring blood tests before marriage went into effect last January, weddings in the state have dropped approxi- mately fifty per cent, according to statistics from Hartford. Data of the state department of health shows that during the first five months of 1886 1913 marriage li- censes were issued. During the cor- responding period in 1885 the total was 3468, drop of almost fifty per cent.
