5. {. c. WILL GET
NEW POLICE Job
MaIoney Measure to Extend
Powers Over Dealers
Outside Exchanges.
Ey the Associated Press.

ES the Asscc1ated Press.
The Securities Commission faced to-
day the prospect Of taking over a new
police Job. ..
Under the Maloney bill, now await
ing President Roosevelt's signature, the
commission would have regulatory
powers over thousands OF security
brokers who are not members Of ma
tional exchanges.
The bill provides that these brokers
known as over the counter dealers
regulate themselves through voluntary
trade associations, which would be su-
pervised by the commission.
Here is how the proposed law would
operate:
Dealers in leading financial centers
would organize their own associations,
with any reputable security dealer
eligible to join. Association rules must
be designed to protect the investor
against price-fixing, excessive commits
sions and other unfair practices. Regu-
lations must be set up also for dis
ciplining Of memberships.
The bill does not specify terms OF
rules other than that ''just and equita-
BILE principles of trade" shall prevail.
Candidates for membership rejected
by an association could appeal to the
commission. Members disciplined by
an association also could appeal or
the commission could review any act
Of discipline on its own initiative.
S. E. c. officials were reluctant to
predict how many dealers might be
affected by the act. More than 5000
dealers are registered with the COM
mission, but not all Of them are active.
Leaders in the industry testified at
commission hearings that between
1000 and 5000 might join associations
If the bill should become law.
Current estimates indicate that
about 10000 securities are traded in
over-the-counter markets throughout
the country, in addition to the hun
dreds listed on organized exchanges.

RETAIL ACTIVITY
CONTINUES TOLAG
Small Weeks Gain Leaves
Sales 13 to n Per Cent
Behind Year Ago.
Py the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 17.-Retail sales
at leading centers of distribution this
week averaged to per cent above
last week for the country as a whole,
but fell l3 to % per cent under the
like week Of 1887, Dun 81 Bradstreet
reported today.
Wholesale buying failed to improve,
and ran 10 to 20 per cent under a
year ago.
Moderate expansion Of consumer
buying. which started last week, was
maintained, as the weather turned
warmer" the credit agency said.
Summer goods predominated pur-
chases. with most Of the larger volume
built by the better grades Of both
-women's wear and mems clothing.
Revival Of demand for the latter was
the outstanding shift in buyer interest.
Totals for stores handling popular
priced merchandise, as well as for in
stallment houses, virtually were un-
changed"
Concerning wholesale trade, the
agency added:
Little indication Of retailers shak-
ing loose from the attitude of buying
only immediate necessities was evident
in the principal wholesale markets.
In the meantime, additions to poten-
tial volume were mounting, because
OF the prolonged cautious buying,
which has been met by reduction in
quantity of goods produced
"As consumers covered more of their
belated summer needs, replacement
orders, specifying quick shipment, in
dicated the lack Of preparation for the
demand. Despite prospects for bumper
crops in many areas. fall orders from
country merchants still were of dis
appointing size and number.
''Women's apparel made up the bulk
Of the enlarged replacement volume,
followed by the definite upturn in
orders for mems summer suits. slacks,
sport shirts and furnishings. Calls for
dresses grew stronger as the week
advanced.
Hardware and building material
wholesalers maintained their volume
of the week preceding
Grocery orders slipped farther from
comparable 1887 volume"

Figures
What They Mean
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statist,cian

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE aver
age wage-earner's living costs dropped
during May to the lowest levels since
late 1896, a recent survey by the Ma
uonal Industrial Conference Board
indicated.
AT 86.5 per cent of the 1928 average
the latest estimate compared with 86 9
In April and 88.8 year ago.
The reduction in living costs since
the recovery peak was reached last
fall, however, has been only slightly
more than 3 per cent. The workers
pay check, on the other hand, suffered
substantially greater cuts.
The Bureau Of Labor Statistics, for
instance, indicated April pay rolls
in manufacturing industries were run
ming one-third below the peak a year
earlier. Although wages rates in many
lines have not been reduced. the Short
ening Of the work week has had the
effect of pairing earning power of in
diyidual employees.
Buying Power SIumps.
Thus. while living costs have been
sliding for some Is months, the
wherewithal to buy these necessities
has slumped even more precipitately.
Food, accounting for approximately
one-third Of the average budget has
shown the widest decline from high
levels prevailing year ago. The
Conference Boards April estimate was
per cent below the peak.
Wholesale food values, of course.
nave fallen good deal further. The
U. S. B. L. S. measure in early June
was l8 per cent under the 1887 crest.
The disparity is said by economists
to result from the normal lag between
wholesale and retail prices.
Rent has offered stubborn resistance
to the tide of defation of the last
IL months. dipping only 2la per cent
from the peak. This is the smallest
decline among major items of living
cost.
Marked Lag Seen.
The dogged opposition to price re-
ductions in this category stems
largely from the long-term con-
tractual nature of home renting. Most
leases run for year, hence there is
marked lag between a general busi-
ness slump and its reflection in de-
Ginning payments to landlords.
The cost of clothing was S per cent
below the recovery top, although
sharply curtailed retail demand was
noted in principal industrial centers.
The recent purchase, of $4,000, 900
worth of clothing by the Works Prog
ress Administration is cited by some
analysts as a bulwark against stable
price reductions in this item of living
cost.
