Bonus Payment Flood

Sales in retail stores during .hIne
totaled s3.400,00o,0O0, registering
slight increase over the sales volume
OF June. 1895. which was stimulated
by bonus payments to World War
veterans, according to calculations
made public today by the American
Retail Federation. Total sales for
the first half OF 1897 amounted to
about sl9,40o. 900, 900, an increase Of
slightly more than per cent. or
81 500, 100000, over the sales volume
for the same period last year.

resenting daily average sales for all
kinds of retail stores combined, stood
at 103 I929-l93l average equals 100,
in June, compared with l02 for June.
1895.
The large amount Of bonus money
that went TO buy automobiles last year
accounts to considerable extent for
the failure Of retail sales as a whole
to show greater increase over June,
1896. Department store sales last

ago, the rural retail sales index of the
Department of Commerce up by 10 per
cent, and food stores showed good
gains. Automobile sales, while being
maintained at high level, were well
below last year.
Best relative sales gains were made
last month over June, 1885, in Virginia,
the Carolinas. Alabama and the South,
the area from Missouri and Kentucky
east and north to Central Penn
sylvania. Comparatively small gains
were made in California, the Pacific
Coast and the Southwest.
While the increase last month over
June, 1895, was below the national
average in New York and New Eng
land. the sales volume WAS better in
relation TO other areas than IN recent
months.

LABOR DECISIONS
TOBE DISCUSSED
Steel Union Convention"
May Take Action on
Craft Bargaining.
~ the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH. Dec. 1l.-Philip
Murray, chairman OF the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee, said
tonight that recent National Labor
Board divisions viewed as threatening
to industrial unionism may be in
jected into the National S. w. O. c.
Congress, staring here Tuesday.
Leaders of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization gathered to-
night, on the eve Of what is In reality
the steel unions primary conven-
tion," to consider wage and hour
provisions to be asked in new con-
tracts when one-year contracts with
AS steel companies expire in March.
MIR. Murray said that in several re-
cent decisions, the Labor Board ruled
that even though an industrial union
Is selected by majority of workers,
separate crafts in plant may set
themselves up as minorities, to engage
IN collective bargaining.
Raises Basis Of C. 1. o. Breach.
He asserted these decisions are re-
garded as q serious threat to the
future of industrial unions, and may
precipitate a debate in the congress
on the very issue which originally
split the c. I. o. and the American
Federation of Labor.
While Mr.. Murray prepared q 1000
word report, to be delivered on the
opening day of the three-day Steel
Congress, convention officials sifted
more than 100 resolutions-half of
them dealing with wage and hour
policies-to be submitted for vote.
John L. Lewis. national G. I. O..
chairman, and 1t. Gov. Thomas
Kennedy, secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers OF America, are
scheduled to address the convention
Thursday. the closing day.
Contracts that expire in March,
covering approximately 550,000 steel
workers, provide a three-week period
Of arbitration, starting February Z,
between union and steel company on
cials, to determine whether new agree
ments will be signed
Pact Signed March z.
The first such contract was signed
Will OATucSlc- -AllluOlS SIcel COTp.,

Murray said tonight:
THE significance Of this convention
cannot be overstated. Whatever pro-
gram comes out, dealing with wage
policies or adoption of rules of gov
ernment for local lodges, will have
far-reaching effect on the future of
unionism in the steel industry, and
upon the whole labor movement"
He said issues which the 1000 dele
gates from 1,l00 union locals in 21
States will consider, include:
Unemployment in the steel industry,
through the present business recess
sion and technological improvements.
A national housing program, ad-
vocated by S. w. O. c., in which Con-
eress will be asked to appropriate
