BarometerS Confirm Turn


l. BOND PRICES have been
slowly edging forward in recent
weeks. Such rise ordinarily indi-
Gates that investment cash is piling
up and the temptation to accept
handsome yields on good bonds can
not be overcome any longer. Hence,
bond investing increases, prices rise
slowly, yields fall, and buying power
spills over into stock market bar
gains.
2. STOCK PRICES are up about
80 per cent since their extreme
lows several months ago on March
81. The market traditionally turns
upward or downward two to three
months before the business trend
changes. Moreover, history shows
that wnen stock trading drys up
to 10 per cent or less of the peak
volume of the previous bull mar
ket, the turn in business is about to
be, or has just been, made. The
volume signal was given on June 8
when, with one exception, trading
hit the lowest level in 20 years.
3. WHOLESALE PRICES as a
whole are not sensitive indicators.
Certain raw materials, such as hides,
steel scrap, wool, silk, lead, zinc,
and export copper, however, are
extremely quick to mirror the
change in the basic business trend.
Recently, quotations on nearly all
OF these commodities have jumped
spectacularly. All the other false
upturns since the recession set in
over a year ago have taken place
while sensitive commodity prices
were slipping to lower levels.
4. INTEREST RATES were per
hapS the most famous of all revival
indicators in the old days. But
now rates on bankers acceptanceS,
commercial paper, and the like, are
frozen at ridiculously low levels
Rates charged to customers, how
ever, still nave Semblance OF q
free market and are, therefore, all
Indicator OF business conditions.
These rates for different sections
of the country all touched their
lows in February and March and
since then have stiffened.
: RANK DEPOSITS are q splen-
did forecaster of business. They
usually turn six months or more
before the business trend shifts.
They began to dip well before bust
ness slanted downward last year
and they have been steadily increas-
ing since last December. Meanwhile,
commercial loans have been falling
for months. This indicates that
inventories have been steadily re-
duced.

President Not To
Cut Relief Because
Private Jobs Increase

Warm Springs, Ga. (ILNS) Pres
ident Roosevelt at a press conference
here made it clear that he did not pro-
pose to be dragooned again into cut
ting down relief because Of an increase
in private employment. He tried that
once more than year ago; and once
is enough.
Asked about the increase of 100000
industrial workers employed, as re
ported by the Labor Department, he
expressed his great satisfaction. But
he explained that two things would
keep relief from being cut down
quickly in proportion to the gain.
First. output always rose faster than
employment in most industries. Sec
ond, the population is still increasing,
and therefore more people are seek
ing jobs each year.

IF the motorists and pedestrians
could be in my shoes for "a hours when
we get snow, they would be amazed
by the realization that many automo-
bile accidents occurring at such times
are absolutely needless" Chief Cal
houn said.
Many of the accidents, he said, are
caused by the carelessness of drivers
not having logical safeguards on their
machines, such as windshield wipers,
defrosters and chains. Others con-
tribute to the accident score when they
allow their automobiles to be driven
without being in good condition, with
out the brakes equalized and working
properly and without lights in good
working service.

Stanley Ogg Speaks Before
MiddletOwn Trades Council

Stanley Ogg, field deputy of the di-
vision of workmen's compensation of
the Ohio Department of Industrial Re-
lationS, discussed "The Ohio Work
mems Compensation Act" at the reg
ular meeting of the Middletown Trades
and Labor Council in it's hall last
Thursday night.
He traced the history of compen-
sation legislation from the time it was
started in England in 1880 and its sub
sequent adoption by New York, Massa-
chusetts and other states, including
Ohio, which started its program by
giving protection to railroad employees
only in an act passed in 1890
Ogg followed with description of
further Ohio legislation which culmi-
mated in the passage of state consti-
tutional amendment in 1912 which
made workmen's compensation COM
pulsory in 1913
During his talk, Ogg quoted Ohio's
industrial accident records for the
years 1933-37 in which the total rose
from l30,316 to 239, 103 claims in the
| final year. He said majority of the
accidents were preventable and urged
the representatives of the various
crafts to participate in the campaign
to reduce the tremendous loss of time
caused by accidents.

1872 BILLION LOST
BY NATION in nine
DEPRESSION YEARS
Isador Lubin, Head of U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Tells Monopoly
Inquiry Depression Damage.

Washington, d. c.. (ILNS) Nine
years of depression have cost Ameri-
can wage and salary earners $119,-
900, 100000
| This was the leadoff, SO to speak, of
the public hearings of what everyone
has learned to call the monopoly com
mittee. Chairman Senator O'Mahoney
of Wyoming opened proceedings by
| filing documents and making a brief
statement. Then Isador Lubin, head
of the u. S. Bureau of Labor Sta
| tistics, took the stand, and began to
spread the facts as to what the de-
preston has done before the audience
and the nation.
"The total loss Of working time from
the unemployment that has prevailed
in the United States for the past nine
years." he said, .'is equal to more than
full years employment for everyone
who had job in the agricultural
| industries of the country in 1929
Farmers Income Hard Hit
Putting it in another way, if the
number employed in agricultural
activities in 1929 had been maintained
unchanged during the last nine years
and every worker in the country had
| taken a vacation for year and two
months during that period, the sum
total of the national income of the
country would have been unchanged.
The loss in wages and salaries arising
from unemployment exceeded 119 bill
/ lion dollars, a sum which is 40 per cent
greater than the peak total national
income of the country in 1929.
"If the income of our farmers had
been maintained at the 1929 level,
/ Mr.. Lubin stated, "their total gross
income over the past nine years would
have aggregated 38 billions more than
they actually received The cumu-
lative loss to our farm population was
equal to more than three times their
income in 1929.
Huge National Loss Total
'sHad it been possible to maintain
dividend payments at the 1929 level,
the income of stockholders would have
been 20 billions greater, a sum which
is more than three times greater than
the amount paid out at the height OF
prosperity.
'sIn terms of our total national in
come, the cumulative loss has exceeded
1872 billion dollars. In other words
had our annual national income con
tinued unchanged since 1929, there
would have been available, for the en-
tire period, an average of $1,000 more
in goods and services for each man
woman and child in the United States.
Mr.. Lubin estimated the per capita
national income for the present yeal
at s472. In was $540 in 1887, $500 il
1882, and an average of S606 for tht
10 years ending in 1929. He pre-
sented a group of charts, each on
telling story. One, of special in
, terest now, shows that in 1926, 937 ,00'
, dwelling units were built, that by 1929
this had dropped more than half, tha
in 1882, only $4,000 dwelling unit
. were built in the whole country, an
that 294, 900 were erected in 1887.
|, Modern depression" he declared
s'is a durable goods depression"
