Figures
What They Mean
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician,

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The con-
sumer who benefits from new,
cheaper and better products re-
CARDS scientific research as the key
to a more abundant life, but tc in
dustry it is also vital weapon in
the struggle for survival and profits.
New products Of one industry
seldom enter an entirely new and
undeveloped feld without simul-
taneously encroaching on the do
main OF some other industry. The
automobile and truck put wheels
under America, but ut the same time
they undermined the investment
OF the railroads. Plastics are
bringing many new and cheaper
articles, but on the opposite side
Of the picture other materials are
being driven out of their established
uses and markets.
One mans meat is another mans
poison and one industry's research
may mean profits for itself and cur
tailment Of earnings or actual
losses, in the long run, for some
other line.
Forced to Action.
Companies are forced to research
to hold their own-let alone i'm
prove their position. The inventive
minds of other industries are al
ways looking for ways to expand
into new territory that is left un-
developed.
And the consumer is king of it
all. New developments add to his
wealth and comfort and his whims
and fancies decide who shall sue
oeed and who shall fail.
The steel industry is an excel
lent example Of the feature role
which research is playing in man
ufacturing today. According to the
American Iron and Steel Institute,
the steel makers are spending ap-
proximately slo,000,0OO this year
searching for methods to improve
their products and reduce their
manufacturing costs.
Nearly 1850 chemists, metallur-
gisE, physicists and other trained
scientists are devoting their entire
time to research in company labora-
tories, while about 1900 others give
part Of their time to similar activ-
tiles.
Huge Amount Spend.
In addition to the out-of- pocket
costs, more than s., ,000, 900 has been
invested In laboratory equipment
and facilities. This investment has
increased about 100000 within
the past three years by the addi-
ton of new instruments and ap-
paratus.
Even these are not all the costs.
Research and improvement take
a heavy toll In obsolescence, as good
machinery must often be discarded
long before it is worn out. Be-
tween 1879 and 1888, for instance,
the steel companies had to write of
an enormous investment as the
new continuous strip mills forced
them to replace their old equip
ment.

Corrective Movement
In Factory Activity
Believed Ahead
Hamilton Institute Finds
Rote Higher Than
Conditions Warrant
Special Dispatch to The Star,

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-An In
crease in factory output from May
to June was more than sufficient to
Offset continuation of the down.
ward trend IN the price average of
manufactured goods, according to
the Alexander Hamilton Institute.
consequently, despite the price
decline, the index of the value OF
manufactured goods rose from 76,l
in May to TIA in June" the institute
reports.
THE value index In June, however,
was considerably above the cur
fently estimated level of farm in
come, which Is q measuring rod OF
normal for the value of factory out
put. The 1899 index of farm income
is tentatively placed at 700 at the
present time. This indicates that
the value of factory output is in Z
vulnerable position and subject to 4
corrective movement eventually. Pre-
liminary figures indicate, however,
that the value Of factory output has
been well maintained since June,
suggesting that any corrective move
ment may be postponed until late in
the year.
Although 1t is probable that the
annual value Of factory output will
be above the level of farm income,
the excess Is not likely to be suffi-
cient to prevent curtailment of man
ufacturing activity before the end OF
this year. Allowing for some excess
over farm income in the value OF
factory output and assuming that
the price level Of manufactured
goods will show little change during
the remainder Of the year, the pros
pect Is that the annual index Of fac
tory output will not exceed SO, a.
compared with a. In 1898.
Since the index averaged 81 dur
ing the first six months, it is appar-
ent that 1t can average only 70 dur
ing the last six months if the annual
index is to equal only 88. This sug-
ests rather sharp curtailment from
the rate in June when the index was
96. If the corrective movement Is
postponed until late in the year, as
now seems possible, the slump will
be even more precipitous, since the
prolongation of abnormally high
production will enhance the amount
Of correction needed"

Wotson Sees Way Open
For European Peuce
BY the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Belief that
the European situation can be solved
without war by economic adjust
ments was expressed yesterday by
Thomas J. Watson, president OF In

WAR would mean,' he said, "the
destruction of another generation of
our boys and loss OF money and
property which would bankrupt the
world and cause a loss Of faith on
the part Of the masses In all pres
ent-day civilized forms of govern
ment.
IAN honorable settlement can be
reached through economic ADJUST
ments that would be fair to all
countries. The underlying causes of
the present difficulties are economic
maladjustments."

who the choice will be. There
are two factions in city council
On one side is lined up President
Adams and councilmen Will Rob
ertS and Will MonSalvatge. On
the other is Will Freeman, Jim

the choice falls to that of either
side it will mean that that side
will have a majority over the

CITY COUNCIL has its prob

for increased revenue to operate
the city efficiently it voted to
continue the 80 percent cut on de-

taxes are paid in cash. An i'm

not even 20 percent is being col

assessment basis is figured on the
1887 year, which is the lowest the
city has probably ever had. They
also point out that if the 1926 as

was nearer the present values.

the same promise he made during
