JOBS IN STATE
SHOW DECLINE
FOR FEBRUARY
But Pay Rolls Increase Over
Preceding Month, |. u.
Report Reveals.
By United Press

By United Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. March 25.
Pay rolls in Indiana made a
slight increase during February.
although employment was slightly
below that of the previous month.
the Indiana University Bureau OF
Business Research reported today.
Manufacturing industries in
creased both employment and pay
rolls, and thus non-monufacturing
industries, chief among which is the
retail trade, were responsible for
the decreases" the bureau said.
There we're no outstanding de-
velopmentS in agriculture except
for an increase in livestock receipts
over the corresponding month last
year. Not much definite informa-
ton was available as to wheat crop
prospects"
Business movements during Feb
ruary in Indiana we're mixed and
irregular, but there was sufficient
weight on the downward side to
bring the general business curve a
few points lower. The principal sus-
tanning influences were building ac-
tivity, coal production and live
stock sales. all of which had above
normal trend during both January
and February.
Building Industry Recoups
Newspaper advertising bank
debts, sales of new and used auto
mobiles, pig iron production and
stone shipments were factors in the
downward movement.
Despite the irregularity, there
were a number of very definite
points worthy of notice in regard to
Indiana business. First, retail
trade continued to be very slow and
dollar sales volumes were about the
same as last year. This was at
tributed not to fundamental
weakness in consumer purchasing
power, but to weather and other sea-
Sonal causes.
Second, the decline in automobile
sales was more tina nseaSonal and
automotive industries failed to make
the normal gains for this month.
Third, the building industry
continued to show signs of renewed
life. Permits issued in both jan
uary and February have been far
above the comparable months in
1895"

Economic RepercuSions Are

Situation.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Aside
from the human misery and wide
spread discomfort caused by floods
over a wide portion of the East and
the Ohio River Valley, there will be
important economic effects on vari-
Gus corporations and industries in
the ensuing months, a standard
Statistics survey indicated today.
These repercussions will not be
confined to the corporations with
factories or business in the flood
areas, the report pointed out, but
will also affect many companies and
trades far removed from the over
flowing rivers and creeks.
1.-THE economic legatees of the
floods may be divided roughly into
three classes. The outstanding class
is that made up of corporations
whose physical property is damaged
on destroyed.

BY JOHN T. Flynn

NEW YORK, March 25.-The
4 ' President asks $500, o0O, 900
for relief for the fiscal year 1887.
This looks like very great reduc-
ton from the huge requests for the
fiscal year 1886 which is drawing
TO close. But it is not. 1t is, in
fact, no reduction whatever.
Last year the President asked
$4,000 100000. But all of this

Direct Effect Limited

Another class consists of cor
porations in the same lines of bust
ness outside the flood areas, which
naturally will do more business be-
cause of the enforced shutdowns of
their competitors. Still another is
made up of corporations and in
dustries which will furnish mate
rails for rehabilitation of the
stricken areas"
The analysis pointed out that the
direct effect, for the most part, is
limited to the actual flood area,
and to individuals who have lost
employment and individuals and
corporations whose property has &C
tually been damaged. From an
industrial standpoint, activity in
several important lines will'be tenn

stimulus should more than compen-

Cement Demand Expected

Counting up the financial dam
age by industries, it is probable that
steel companies and the railroads
will be the heaviest losers. Not only
will the carriers have increased
maintenance charges. but they will
also suffer a temporary drop in car
loadings, only partly offset by the
increased tonnage of materials
brought in for repairs. Practically
all Eastern roads will suffer,
Lumber, cement and roofing
companies, as well as manufacturers
of bodybuilding materials and fur
niture will experience considerable
demand for replacement of flood
damaged property. Makers of cleo
trical equipment and cables may
also benefit from injury to utility
plants and lines"

THEREFORE the appropriation
Il for WPA for the coming year

"HEREFORE the appropriation
l. for WPA for the coming year
Is greater than in this year.
And if we add STOP 100000 or what
will be left of that by June 80, the
WPA appropriation will be very
much larger than last year. In fact
it will be almost as large as the
combined appropriation for relief
and WPA for this year.
Moreover, the President has not
assured Congress that 81 500 ,O000 900
additional will carry us through
the year. He estimates that ST.
GOO, 000,00 is necessary. He does
not ask for 81, 500 100000 for seven
months as was forecast. He asks
for that, but adds that if business
picks up and industry rehires men
more will not be necessary.
All this has one important bear
ing on financial matters. Gov
eminent spending has played an
important part in the business
pickup. There is nothing in the
Presidents apparently reduced
figure to justify the belief that gov
eminent spending will be reduced.
On the contrary, plenty of room is
left for increasing it.

that is, June 16, 1933-the total
sum provided by the government,
plus the sums already appropri-
ated when the President came into
Office, for emergency purposes
amount to $18,311, 100000. These
appropriations, made in different
years, have been allocated to
various projects. But the sums of
money allocated have not all been
spent in the years in which they
were appropriated.
TINE result is that there remains
l. at this moment in unexpended
balances 1924 0OO,O 900. This much
is available to be spent by the
President on emergency purposes
during the next year, even if not
one cent is appropriated. OF
course, all of this can not be spent.
1t will take several years to COM
plete some of the projects. Also
some of these items are for loans
and are not intended to be spent,
though there is nothing to prevent
the President from spending them.
Therefore, when the President
asks for $1,5OO,OOO,OOO instead of
$4,000, 100000 as he did last year,
it must be understood that this
81 ,500,000000 is piled on top of the
unexpended balance of $5,924, 000,-
900 which is left from prior appro-
priations.
The President asks the whole
81 $780, 100000 for WPA expendi-
lures. How does this compare with
WPAA expenditures this year?
The Works Progress Administra-
ton during this fiscal year got an
ALLEGATION of 1927 ,000, 900. To date
it has spent $625, 100000 1t has
left, therefore, $702000,000.
