Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 27-Overshad-
owed by the peaks reached in 1887
by registrations, truck and bus output,
and the second highest production of
motor vehicles on record, the pace Of
the automobile industry during the
first quarter of 1888 was so retarded
that it appeared to be at a standstill,
according to survey by Dun &, Brad
street, Inc.
production was about half that Of
the 1887 first quarter. registrations de-
clined even more. and the used-car
congestion had been ameliorated too
little to stimulate the movement Of
new ones. In March. dealers sales
made the first increase in nine months,
and the upturn reached into April
Manufacturers, however, still held
operations in close alignment with de-
mand. even though encouraged by
factory and field stock reduction since
March /. Many considered the cur
rent year written off. and were await
ing the new one to be inaugurated by
the National Automobile Show. The
latter will open in New York on
Armistice Day, November II. instead
of on October q. Even the most
liberal trade estimates of 1888 pro-
duction do not go beyond 3.5OO,OOO,
the smallest since 1884 at 1859, 1868,
and 80 per cent less than the 1887
total of 5,002,l88 units.
mo price changes were in prospect,
due to the inability of manufacturers
to reduce heavy fixed costs during a
period of declining production. Pres
ent excess of new-car field inventories,
over the number required to supply
the curtailed demand, naturally has
resulted in some price-cutting Out
look was considered reasonably good,
with indications that the years VOL
ume would exceed most of the gloomy
estimates set.
Unit production of motor vehicles
for April, 1887, reached 53,420, the
largest for any month since June,
1929, at 567,424 Successive monthly
reductions lowered this to 175,620
units by September. While October
and November production was in
creased. dealers could not move the
automobiles received December op-
erations were cut and, as stocks &C
cumulated, January. 1888, production
was held down to 228,074 units and
February to 202,872. March was ad-
vanced to 235000 units, marking the
first increase in five months but was
SIS per cent under March, 1887.
Production factory shipments)
for the first quarter of 1888 were
only 665,6l5 units, according to the
compilation of the Automobile Manu-
facturers' Association, which was a
decrease of 49 per cent from the
1,302,108 for the corresponding 1887
period. 1t was the smallest first quar-
ter production since 1882 at 362,832.
even falling 1T per cent under the
1884 comparison of 754,Ol1."

(Continued from Page D commons in behalf of the air min- istry earlier yesterday, said that there had been four known cases Of apparent sabotage in the last month.
 First there were cases of mali cious damage to planes at ringWay airdrome in February, he said.
 Between March 19 and March 23, he said, damaged electric wires were found at the airplane factory at Stockport on four planes, one be- ing built for the royal air force, the other three for Belgium.
 Several damaged wires were found March IT on an airplane at the Supermaine aviation works at Southampton, he said and there was a similar case at the Baging- ton branch of Armstrong, Whit worth and Co.
 Earl Winterton said there was no evidence to suggest that malicious damage to planes was to be attri- buted to any agent of foreign power.
 It was understood that intelli- gence operatives believe malicious damage to most planes, at least, was due to disaffected Workmen.
 There was talk of organization of secret Sabotage squads" at arma- ments factories to combat sabo- teurS.

to establish a broadcasting organi- zation which was designed original ly to stimulate the sale of radio re- ceiving sets by putting attractive programs on the air. Aylesworth, however, soon conceived the idea of commercial broadcasting, and de- veloped advertising on the air. It was under his direction that con- mercial broadcasting grew to the great proportions that exist today.
 After leaving N. B. c. he was called upon by his directors to re- organize the R. K. O. moving pie ture industry which at that time was sustaining enormous operating losses. He guided the R. K. o. through receivership and establish ed it on profitable basis. Through his contacts in the business and ad- vertising world during the establish ment of N. B. c. and the reorganiza- tion of R. K. O., Aylesworth became one of the best-knoWn figures in the industrial, and financial fields in America.

 The Northeastern railroads divi- sion offices were ruined. The rail- road round-houSe had been picked up off it's foundation and dropped in wreckage. Workmen inside were unharmed.
 Mrs. Julia Kennedy, chairman of the Peoria Red Cross, estimated at least 600 of South Pekin's 1900 in- habitants were affected directly by death, injury or los of home.
 Approximately 600 miles and four hours back along the path of the storm lay Columbus, Kans., simi- lar picture of deSolation.
 Seven were dead there and sher- ifs deputies stood guard against looters. Hospitals were filled to over flowing and patients laid there in bed. More than 100 were treated.
 Large centers of population were spared-St. Louis by a scant 10 miles.
 The storm cut across the Mississ- ippi just north of St. Louisa met ropolitan area of 500,000-and plunged into Illinois at East Alton. It drove about 30 miles northeasterly to Gillespie without serious damage and only one death.
 Then it hoped almost northwest erly 50 miles to TimeWell where it reformed and begin it's destruction course across South Pekin to the vicinity of Eureka, east of Peoria, where it dissipated itself in hail and rain.
 National guardsmen, Red Cross workers and state police hurried in- to the stricken area. They were handicapped by lack of lights and communications.
 Five suspected looters were re- ported in custody at South Pekin. Blankets, sandwiches and milk were sent into damaged towns.

Metal Workers To Meet

Metal Workers To Meet
 Meantime, it was learned that a meeting will be held at 8 o'clock to- night at the British War Veterans hall on Scovill street by members of the Metal Workers association of Waterbury. Strikers claim that this is company union of the Ameri- can Brass Go.
 Also, at 1:15 this afternoon a meeting of a group of employees of the Chase Go. was scheduled to be held at Workman'S circle hall on Spencer avenue.
 The union claimed this afternoon that more than TOO men were on strike at the American Brass Go. and that the ranks of the strikers were growing hourly. The company, in an official statement by Clark Judd, vice. president in charge Of operations, claimed that only 450 workers are affected by the strike. John A. Coe, Sr., president of the firm, was still in New York today and could not be reached.
 Strike Meeting
 Several hundred persons attended a strike meeting held last night at CIO headquarters. After hearing several speakers, the workers voted unanimously to continue their strike until their demands from the com- pany had been met. The American Brass Co. is said to employ between 2,50O and 5000 workers.
 Adolph Curtiss, president of the Waterbury Brass Workers union, de- clared that the union will give it's full support to the strike. The strike, which began spontaneously yester- day morning, was made necessary, he claimed, because of the announc- ed wage cuts.
 No Agreement
 Members of the union committee who conferred this morning with MT. Judd said that no agreement had been reached. He insisted, they said, that the company must estab- fish the reductions 10 continue op- erations; they claimed, on the other hand, that the working men and women should not have to shoulder the burden of poor business condi- ditionS.
 Several hundred strikers were in front of the American Brass Go. en- trance at West Main and Crane streets at 8 o'clock this morning. Strikers claimed that their walkout had paralyzed the north rolling mill, the wire mill and the machine division.
 CIO sound trucks were busy dur ing the noon hour, with speakers exhorting workers in both the north and south planst to join the strike.

 Mir Baker did not leave until the jury recessed at o'clock. He will be witness again during today's afternoon session.
 In connection with the Spel1acy angle of the probe, it has been reported that one of the two checks received by his law firm amounted to $11,000.
 Ex-Mayor GuiIfoiIe Today
 When ex-Mayor Guilfoile appears before the jury today, it is expect ed that the march of attorneys who received money for services to the city will be underway. Attorney Guilfoile is reported to have re- ceived an average of $600O yearly for services, which included among other things, work on the charter revision committee. During the past week, as he appeared at the court house on legal matters in which he is connected, he has joked with reporters about the time they would take his picture as a witness.
 The appearance yesterday of Major John Buckley of Union, former liquor control commissioner and several City Hall officials indi- cated that the jury had directed the course of it's investigation along previously untouched channels.

Olsen, of the Wa terbury Trust Company; Harry Mackenzie, lobbyist, of Bethel; Mar tin J. Dunn, deputy purchasing agent of the controllers office, and Thomas A. Shannahan of the aS- sessors' office.

 Prosecutor Warns
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn late yes terday advised neWsmen to "be care- ful of their differences about Major Buckley's appearance before the jury. He is a Republican state leader; he is particularly prominent in Holland County; he directed the unsuccessful gubernatorial cam paign for States Attorney Arthur M.

A recent stunt that fooled New Workers was accomplished by work men with picks, drills, danger sig nals and traffic detour signs. They dug a large hole in the middle of 6 busy street, left the scene with the various equipment StreWn about and never returned. The city came to the conclusion it was an April Fools joke and sent it's own crew to fill up the hole.
