STOCKHOLDERS
OF WAGES seen
NSTEEL STRIKES
June PayroIIs Reveal
Sharp Decline

Number of employees in the steel
industry in June averaged $50, 900.
compared with 595,000 in May.
and payrolls in June amounted to
$87 ESQ, 900 against $92,931 900 in
the previous month.
The falling off in the number Of
workers and the payrolls was due
to strike conditions prevailing
throughout good part Of the
month in plants Of four major
companies. In June, 1885, the
number of workers was 498, 900,
and payrolls aggregated $62,991,.
900.
1t is estimated that employees in
companies affected by strikes lost
more than $4,000, 900 in wages as
a result of shutdowns, which in
some plants began the last week
in May and continued through
June.
Hourly earnings of the 495, 900
wage earners who are paid on an
hourly, piece work or tonnage
basis averaged 37.7 cents in June,
compared with 86.6 cents in May
and 66.9 cents IN June last year.
An average Of 1872 hours per
week was worked by wage earnerS
in June, against 1875 hours per
week in May, and 40.8 hours in
June, 1885.

GAINS IN Chain
SALES SMALLER

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S;-Com-
pared with year ago, the rate OF
increase in chain store sales con-
tinueS to narrow.
The first Is chains to report for
July, according to the monthly
survey issued yesterday by Childs,
Jeffries & Thorndike, Inc, showed
sales of $235, 391,2 80, an increase
of $20,072 ,627 or 9.3 per cent over
a year ago. This is the smallest
increase reported since March,
1886, and compares with an av-
erage gain during the first seven
months of the year of approx
mately IA per cent.
The reason for the more mod
crate advance over a year ago is
not any appreciate slowing down
of business, apparently, but be-
cause the comparison is against a
very sharp upturn in sales a year
ago when the chains were begin
ming to reap the benefit Of the
bonus. A further factor was that
in some sections Of the country
chains reported that labor condi-
tions were interfering with bust
ness for the first time.
For the first seven months of
the year, however, the chains con-
tinued to report a substantial
progress over a year ago, sales OF
the Is concerns being $1,617, 1885,,
PA, an increase of $196, 951, 521 or
1873 per cent. However, the rate
of gain over the same months a
year ago is moderating also, since
the 1873 per cent advance COM
pares with a high of IT'S per cent
gain shown for the first three
months of the year.
