INDUSTRY STEADY

On the whole, industrial activity
was little changed. Steel produc-
ton was slightly reduced, chiefly
because of manpower difficulties,
though some reports have il that
the supply of pig iron is none too
abundant as a result of the need
for blast furnace repairs. Paper
production also declined. The lum-
Der output, however. seems 10

is a highly important develop
ment
Perhaps as a result of the in
vasion, combined with the appeals
made by Go leaders. there have
been fewer strikes Of late.
Retail trade, too, registered
little change last week And again
it can be said that in view of the
various existing handicaps this is
a good showing Last week, for
example, the invasion so monopo-
lied peoples interest that bust
ness was slowed down. and in
some areas stores were closed for

TAXES HURT TRADE

The high excise taxes have hurt
trade in some lines (e. g.. hand
bagS). The war bond sales drive
is a factor. The curtailment of
war industries doubtless causes
caution in spending at some
points. And beyond such condi-
tions. the fact that retail stocks
in general are either low. or bro
ken. or OF inferior quality tends
10 reduce the volume Of sales.
Staple cottons. for example, are
scarce.
Political developments, on the
whole, strike me as reassuring.
Among these were signs of prog
reSs made toward some real plan

transition 10 peace. Bernard Nj.
Baruch issued statement calling
for action. a committee Of the
Senate submitted a series Of
recommendations. And perhaps
best of all, War Mobilization

appreciation of the Importance of

DANGER OF DELAY
There is still danger of delay
and politics in these matters. but
the weeks developments warrant
hopes of some real progress.
For example, under the direc-
tion of Administrator Clayton,
plans for disposing Of the gov
ernments surplus merchandise
through regular retail channels
have been worked out, which are
being favorably. received by bust

Not so favorable, perhaps, was
the trend toward price imitation.

Detroit, June 1T-Registration be-
came the keynote of political ac-
ton this week as August Scholle,
regional director of the CLIO Polit-
ical Action Committee, issued a call
for all political action workers
throughout the state to concentrate
their energies on meeting a June
q primary registration deadline.
Special arrangements have been
made i'm all the larger Michigan
cities for workers to register. In
some cities 1t Is planned to have
extra registration booths remain
open all day.
Elsewhere registration clerks will
be assigned to shops so that work
ers can register as they leave their
jobs. In some cases union repre-
sentatives will be especially depu-
tized as registration clerks.
In addition. the state PAC has
mailed out more than 100000 post
card ballot requests to the Mich
igan CLIO members in the armed
forces.
Election officials have pointed out
that almost everyone who mails
back one of these filled-out cards
in sufficient time will get a full
ballot.
