Makers Plan
Larger Output in
Coming Year
Schedules Now Call
For $50, 900 Units
In First Quarter

By cambridge Associates.
First-quarter schedules now call
for the production of more than a
million and quarter automobiles
and trucks. This is better than a
IS per cent increase against the out
put for the first three months of 1889
and is close to the best rate for this
period in the United States and
Canada.
Predictions for the full year place
production of automotive units In
the neighborhood of four to four
and-a-half million in comparison
with total production in 1899 OF
about 100000 units.
Higher material costs and pro-
spectively higher wage rates may
force price increases. but If the gen.
eral level of national income con-
tinues to gain, higher prices will
probably not meet undue resist
ance.
A factor in the increased produc-
ton projected for the first quarter
is the delayed schedule of the Chrys.
ler organization because of labor
trouble. Other manufacturers,
however. whose production has moi
been interrupted, are planning or
maintaining output above the 1885
level.

Rise in Demand Forces Public Utility Bui|d
Strikes Are Expected
To Increase Because
Of Trade Gains
Recent Events Indicate
Unrest May Be Below
Prosperity Levels
BY Cambridge Associates.

BY Cambridge Associates.
Nineteen-forty is not likely to dis
prove the axiom: More business,
more strikes. Granted that trade
continues on a high level 1t is safe
to assume that industrial unrest
will keep pace with 1t as workers
strive to gain what they believe is
their share of prosperity's profits.
The continued and more indicative
disagreement between the American
Federation of Labor and the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations
will boost the total number OF
strikes but not, because OF their
usually localized significance, add
greatly to the number Of man days
lost because of labor disputes.
Yet the outlook for relative in
dustrial peace is not as black as it
might be. Unionization has pro-
ceeded so rapidly during the last
five years that the violent organiza-
tional strikes that might otherwise
trouble industrial progress in 1910
should be averted. In many indus
tries, collective bargaining proce-
dure have been worked out to a rea-
sonable point of efficiency in COM
parison with the constant friction
that was spasmodically revealed in
1887 and 1888.
Labor has had some Christening
experiences during the last year.
Legislation in various States, court
decisions, the moderated rulings Of
the National Labor Relations Board
and the cooler attitude of the ad-
ministration, have all helped to les
sen the sense of impregnability
which prevailed two years ago. The
announcement by Attorney General
Frank Murphy that his department
would act on the assumption that
the antitrust laws apply to labor
unions was shock in some quar-
ters, while the ruling of the Supreme
Court against sit-downs and the
damages fixed by the jury in the
Apex Hosiery case had dampening
effect in others.
The extent and seriousness of in
Evening star., 1939-12-31

sibly indicative of further enter
prises of the same kind, is the huge
private housing project nearly COM
pleted by the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. Designed for families
of the lower-middle income group,
81 buildings containing 12,269 apart
ments have been constructed In the
Bronx with $50,000,000 Of private
capital-no public subsidy of any
kind.
Fifteen years ago the Metropolitan
invested $7,500,000 in a smaller, low
rental housing project. 1t is deduced
that the return on this investment
has been satisfactory or the COM
pany would not have launched this
present much more ambitious de-
velopment. OF course, the low rate
of return on more usual types Of in
vestment is a compelling factor now
It is the large amount of investment
money available that makes this
large-scale, privately financed hous-
ing project of special interest. Pre-
sumably, If it is proved that private
capital can be proitably employed
in the construction Of low-rent
dwelling units more will be made
available for the same purpose.

Stable Prices Assure
Sustained ACTIVITY
In Home Building
Residential Volume
Now at Peak for
Period Since 1929
BY Cambridge Associates.

BY Cambridge Associates.
The final months of the year
found home construction proceed
ing at the best rate since 1929. A
promise that home building may
continue at a rapid pace in the
year ahead is found in the fact
that costs have remained remark
ably stable in spite of increased
demand and there seems no i'm
mediate reason to fear that abrupt
price boosts will again curtail
building activity as they did in
1887.
Residential construction MAIN
tanned unexpected streng h
throughout the year. It's steady
volume during the early months Of
1899, when general business had a
rather prolonged resting spell, con-
tributed largely to the resumption
of domestic recovery in June.
There was gain of about 40
per cent in residential awards in
1889 in comparison with 1898. While
estimates for 1910 are necessarily
conditioned upon the general level
Of national income and the trend
of rents further gain in the
neighborhood of 10 per cent appears
a conservative prediction for next
year.
Rents Change Little.
Rents showed very little change
during the year. A moderate in
crease. in line with other living
costs, is the present expectation for
1910.
The hourly wage rates of skilled
labor are slightly higher than a
year ago and about Is per cent
above the level of 1886. Building
materials. however, have stayed
below last years average price level
The Federal Government, through
the antitrust law, is taking action
that should be a sharply restrain
ing influence on prices. Money for
home building will remain abund-
ant and cheap.
Naturally, how far and how fast
the current uptrend in home build
ing will carry will depend largely on
general business. The increase in
families and the dearth of new
building in the past 10 years have
created an inestimable but tre-
mendous need for new housing IA
cilities. Should most families enjoy
a high and steady level Of income
next year, doubtless the doubling
up" and the inconvenience which
many have suffered in recent years
would inspire a great demand fol
more and better housing.
An interesting development. pos.

Speeded as Profits
Improve Sharply
industrial, Commercial
Rote Expected to
Hit 1O-Yeur Peak
(By Cambridge Associates.)

Lost among the statistics which
pelt us at the year end but poten-
TALLY of greater significance than
many given greater prominence are
the figures on commercial construc-
tion. The trend is upward. The
final records for 1899 will probably
show gain over 1898, a loss in
comparison with 1887 and fall con-
siderably short of the high marks
of 1880 and before Yet the pros
poets remain good for an increase
in plant construction and modern
ization which has not been equalled
within decade.
Particularly pertinent in regard
to next years final building totals
is the ,utlook for utility expansion.
With an improved political atmos-
phere and with a background of
steadily increasing demand for its
product, the private producers of
electricity have reached the point
where an increase in building budg-
cts is virtually imperative. For the
industry as whole it is estimated
that approximately $600000,000 will
be spent in 1910, as compared with
about $3.50, 100000 expended in 1899
for expansion of productive facin-
ties. In 1880, when the industry
carried on its biggest expansion pro-
gram III its history, capital expendi-
lures totaled over $90O,0OO,0OO.
Total non-residential construction
for the last year will run about IL
per CEN above the 1898 figures.
The recent tendency to build and
to modernize has been particularly
notable in recent months in the in
dustrial States. The New York La
Dor Department, for example, was
called upon to approve during No.
vember the largest number Of plans
ever to be submitted during like
month. Gains have been consist
emily running ahead of previous
record months. Alterations and i'm
provements have matched closely
the increases In new commercial
buildings in prospect.
1t has been said often that a re-
turn of confidence is needed to in
duce industrial managements to
spend money for new plants and
increased production facilities. Con-
fidence, however, springs more
strongly from profits and the ex-
pectation of profits than from any
other source. Earnings this year
in many lines are sufficient to gen.
crate considerable confidence and
to inspire relatively large number
OF plans for plant expansion.

Evening star., 1939-12-31

dustrial unrest during the coming
year depends to large degree upon
the trend of living costs. When
Europe was at war before, labor as a
whole suffered a considerable loss in
real income" even though wage
rates scared above the pre-war
period. Food, for example, cost
nearly go per cent more in May
1917, than it did in May, 1918, while
the average hourly wages of union
labor increased only IA per cent in
the same period.
It was this factor that was respon-
sible for much of the growth ir
employer -employe disputes in the
last World War and Immediately
afterward. In 1916 there were 378s
strikes, three times as many as ir
1914, and in 1917, 4,450. The all.
time record for number of workers
involved in strikes was reached ir
1919 when living costs were neal
their peak.
If living costs remain stable Of
rise only moderately, as now ex.
pected, strikes to force wage adjust.

any serious discussion of the needs,
advocates of such interconnection,
