PLANTS IN NEW
 ENGLAND BUSY
Number of Orders on Hand However Are Declining
 Very Rapidly

Boston, June 17.-(UP) --Manu- lecturers in New England are busy, but the number of orders on hand is declining and, in most cases, new business is not sufficient to maintain the current high level of production, Dun & BradStreet, Inc, reported to- day. Both wholesale and retail vol- umes, however, held above last years.
 The demand for rAyon yarns and fabrics is extremely heavy, producers being unable to keep up with their orders. Cotton yarn spinners are filling orders already booked: cur- rent business is quiet. Broader inc terest is being displayed in the Bos- ton market in a few grades of wool. Prices are flrmer. More activity is reported in the woolen goods market.
 Wool Industry Good
 Wool top makers are delivering large quantities on previous orders. Prices hold steady; futures a little lower. Moderate quantities of woolen and worstcd yarns arc changing hands.
 The last three weeks have seen a steady decline in orders in the cot- ton mills which are operating at q high rate filling business already boked. The gray goods market is slow.
 Shoe manufacturers factories are in full production, filling orders booked the past two weeks. The leather markets lack activity, but prices are firm. The hide market is comparatively inactive, and prices are casing slightly on some grades.
 Building Permits
 Building permits in 55 municipal ities in Massachusetts during May amounted to $5,538,00O, as compared with $5,623,000 for April. Building permits for the first 5 months of the year amounted to $10,005, ,000, az compared with q, 5,790, GOO for the cor responding period in 1936. Building and engineering contracts awarded last week were considerably below last years figures.
 Local foundries are moderately ac- tive, but sale of pig iron is dull Purchasing by paper manufacturers and wholesalers has dropped off considerably. Most paper mills are now faced with the prospect of cur tailing operations considerably. Prices are somewhat weaker. Col lections continue good in most lines.

Black -COnnery
 Wage Hour Bill Proves a Bone of
 Labor Contention

Washington, June l7.--The desire Of some labor leaders to collect everything possible in the way of union dues appears alongside the unwillingnesS of many manufactur- CTS to pay higher wages as a factor in the opposition to the Black-C nery wage and hour bill.
 The most contentious point In the bill is It's section five, which would give the proposed labor standards board power to fix a minimum fair wage" In indlvid- ual industries up to the equivalent of SI.20O year.
 It is probable that the blank spaces in previous sections will be filled in so as to fix a general minimum wage and hour stand ard of 70 cents an hour and 40 hours q week, which would be the equivalent of $500 q year or $18 week for anyone who had 50 weeks of employment.
 The theory behind the measure Is that there is no collective bar gaining worth talking about for the wage group which earns less than $500 year, and that many workers in the range between $500 and $1200 have no money with which to organize and bar. gain collectively.
 Thus, after the bill previously has authorized the board to vary It's non oppressive standards up- ward or downward, section five authorizes the board to establish a minimum fair wage in cases where facilities for collective bargaining are inadequate or ineffective, and where lower wages paid by some employers threaten to undermine the labor standards of other em- plOyers. But there are labor lead CTS who f0resee that many un- skilled workers will feel less tncen- tive to join unions If and when the government fixes wages for them at between $lG and $25 A week.

Headache for Hull

The bills introduced by Senator Hugo Black and Congressman Wm IT. Conncry arc almost identical but not quite.
 Connery made slight eXcisior which haB given another severe headache to Secretary of Statt Cordcll Hull, who every other week has to worry about som, new direct or indirect attack on hi trade treaties.
 The original bill, as in Inc

And that means. according [, the lawyers. that the Connery bil would prevent importation int the United States of forcigr goods produced under lower labo standards than thogc get ID by th' board. What this would do t American import trade and t' those Hull trade treaties woult be more than plenty.
