D. {. Postal Receipts
Break All Records
For 7-Month Period
Revenues for July
Also Set New Mark
For That Month
BY EDWARD c. STONE.


Postal revenues in the first seven
months Of this year smashed all
previous records for the same pc
.riod in the history of the City Post
Once, it was announced today.
Officials reported that receipts at
the City Post Office and branches
totaled s6,44O 1868 in comparison
with s5,289 ,l02 80 in the like period
last year, a jump of $1.15l ,384.66.
This new seven month peak
came to light in connection with
the July report which also pro-
duced an all-time record for that
month when postal receipts climbed
to $979.84l.11 compared with s762,-
747.98 a year ago, an increase OF
$2l7,093.13 or 28.46 per cent.
The July increase was one of the
largest ever reported for any month
over the preceding year, The
months revenues were ahead of
January which held the record un-
til the July figures came out, The
total even exceeded that of De-
cember of 1887 which included the
Christmas rush period.
Postmaster Vincent c. Burke and
his associates say the startling in
creases in postal receipts are mainly
due to the war effort, which has
caused such rapid population
growth. Furthermore. they expect
the revenue gains to continue and
are predicting that postal receipts
will cross the $4,000, 900 mark this
year against the total of more than
$4,000, 900 last year.
Postal revenues in the first seven
months of 1912 compare as follows
with the like months in 194l.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-While Fed
eral expenditures have almost
doubled since 1888 and State spend
ing increased 10 per cent, local

local governments in their 1941
fiscal periods spent more than "a
billion dollars. a "a per cent in
crease over 1898. National defense
costs, quadrupling in the prepared
ness period, accounted for the
bulk of the increase, the Fedora
ton added.

l94l, next to defense outlays, were
for health and welfare programs,
including relief and social security
payments. In this field Federal ex-
penditures totaled $2,475, 900, 900,

Recorded at Close;
, Dealings Slow
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-Rails and
liquors provided the principal re-
covery power for todays stock
market, q number in each group
edging into new high territory for
the past year or longer.
Quotations sti1ened after an in
definite opening. Dealings were
slack for the most part although
picking up a trifle in buying in
tervals. Gains, ranging from frac-
tions to around point at the best,
were shaded in the final hour and
an assortment Of minor losses was
in evidence.
Transfers for the full proceeding
were in the neighborhood of 275. 900
shares.
Buying was resumed, brokers said
mainly on the persistent idea that
at present levels many stocks may
have discounted some cloudy war
developments, tax prospects and the
waning OF imitation psychology. The
battle crisis in the Caucasus. at the
same time, tended to limit purchas-
ing commitments.
Stocks stepping into the new high
division included Atlantic Coast
Line, Southern Pacific. Schenley and
Distillers Corp. In front the greater
part of the time were United States
Steel. Bethlehem, Santa Fe, South
ern Railway, Great Northern, Penn
sylvania. General Motors, Chrysler
American Telephone, Westinghouse
Du Pont, Texas Co.. Montgomery
Ward, Philip Morris, Owens Illinois
and United Aircraft.
Inclined to lag were Consolidated
Edison, Eastman Kodak, General
Electric, Deere, Republic Steel, In
ternational Harvester, Anaconda and
Woolworth.
Bonds generally were higher with
carriers favored.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The lowest
prices In almost two months were
chalked up in cotton futures today.
October contracts were slightly
under the 18 cents a pound level on
a continued dribble Of liquidation
inspired by expectations Of anti
inf1ationary steps In Washington.
New crop reports showed a ten
dency to place the probable yield
near the 13 million bale mark. Prin-
cipal support came from the trade
but that was held to scale down
basis.
Late afternoon prices were IS to
IS cents a bale lower. October,
1899: December, 1917: March, 1888.
Cotton futures rebounded and
closed slightly higher after touching
the lowest levels In nearly two
months. A late furry OF covering
and New Orleans buying found high
pressure.

Pattern Makers
Organized Near
To Full Capacity

CHICAGO.-The Pattern Makers
League (A.F.L.) now has 1900 of
the 1880 pattern makers in the U. S.
CT its membership rolls, Init. Pres.
George O. Lynch reported this week.
Wages obtained by the union i'm
the last year, Lynch revealed, are
the highest i'm the history of the or
ganization, which is five times as
big as it was in 1884. Hourly rates
of $l.7O have been established i'm
job shops and $3.50 in manufac-
turing plants.
The union has won every NLRB
election in which it has participant
ed, Lynch said. He also stressed the
democracy within his organization.
''Ours," Lynch said, els a volun-
tary organization. We have no
checkOff. The earnings of the
members are their own property.
We have never asked the govern
ment for union maintenance and we
never will. We hold labor organiza-
tons should render service to their
members that will keep them loyal.
We have union shop contracts, but
they were obtained through our eco
nomic strength"

Wall St. Journal
Explodes A Fable

NEW YORK.-Natl. Assn. of
Manufacturers members who have
been accusing labor of fomenting a
national strike wave know better, their
own publications reveal.
The Wall Street Journals Wash
ington correspondent, Kenneth G..
Kramer, admitted this week that
unions have been cooperating very
closely with the Natl. War Labor
Board to prevent any halt in war
production. Only 5-100 of 10 of the
total time worked in October was
lost in stoppages, Kramer said.
Actually, he said, management is
often responsible for impeding pro-
duction. Some of them let grievances
pile up and don't take care of them
promptly enough to satisfy their men. !"
