EMPLOYMENT
SHOWS DROP

Washington, ID. c. - There was
seasonal decline in nonagricul-
tural employment in January, ac-
cording to the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics, L. S. Department Of La
Dor. The number Of workers in
mona agri c ultural establishments
dropped 1,138,000, reflecting de-
creases in trade, Government post
offices, and construction. The en-
ployment drop was comparable to
that Of previous years.
Mining reported a modest in
crease between December and Jan
uary following. settlement Of the
coal strike, and manufacturing
showed only a slight drop as COM
pared with the sizeable decrease
which usually occurs in January.
Among the major manufactur-
ing industries, the largest increase
in employment occurred in the iron
and steel industry. The increase of
$4,000 wage and salaried workers
in that industry reflected not only
the settlement Of the coal strike,
which made expanded operations Of
blast furnaces possible, but also
a real gain over November. This
gain, which offset much Of the
seasonal declines in other manu-
featuring industries, indicates fur
ther expansion in metal fabricat-
ing industries.
A $4,000 employment gain in
women's clothing and millinery in
dustries comprised the major part
of the gain in apparel between De-
cember and January. Record en-
ployment of l,263,O00 was reported
for the industry in the latter
month.
The largest decline in January
was the seasonal drop in the food
processing industries. The canning
industry alone accounted for about
half the decrease Of $4,000, while
the beet sugar industry was re-
sponsible for about one-fourth.
TIL automobile industry reported
a $4,000 reduction in employment
due to the taking of inventories,
model change-overs and material
Employment in that in
dustry was lower than at any time
since July 1916.

NOTEs The consumers price
index for moderate-income families
in large Cities" formerly known as
the "cost Of living index, meas
ures average changes in retail
prices of selected goods, rents and
services, weighted by quantities
bought by families of wage earn
ers and moderate-income workers
in large cities in 1934-36. The
items priced for the index consti-
tuted about 70 per cent of the ex-
penditures of city families whose
incomes average $1524 in 1934-36.
The index only partially shows the
wartime effects of changes in
quality, availability of consumer
goods, etc. The Presidents Com
mittee on the Cost of Living has
estimated that such factors, to-
gether with certain others not full
ly measured by the index, would
add a maximum of 3 to 4 points
to the index for large cities be-
tween January 1941 and September
1914. If account is taken of con-
tinued deterioration of quality and
disappearance of low-priced mer-
chandise between September 1914
and September 1915, which was
estimated at an additional y point,
the total large-city adjustment
would be As points. If small cities
were included in the national aver
age, another u point would be
added, making the total approx
mately points.

The figures for Denmark are
similar A rs per cent increase in
hourly money wages took place

consequence increased only IL per
cent.

and January, 1916, whereas the
actual purchasing power of wages
increased 36 per cent during the
same period.

ly skilled, earned 31a times more

ed to GA per cent of what they
were in 1887. Weekly money
wages in French industry for men

Consumers Price Index

Retail prices of living essentials
purchased by moderate income
families in Cleveland declined 0.3
per cent between mid-December
and mid-January, according to fig
ures released today by Adolph o.
Berger, Cleveland, Regional Direc-
tor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This was the first break in Cleve-
land consumers prices since Feb
ruary 1916, Mr.. Berger said.
Lower prices for food and house.
furnishings were chiefly response
BILE for the slight decrease in the
Cleveland overall index. Prices of
other major groups of commodi-
ties showed further advances dur
ing the month ending in mid-Jan-
uary.
The Cleveland Consumers Price
Index in January was 1858 per
cent of the 1859 average and
55.8 percent above the level of
August Is, 1889. Compared with
June Is, 1916, when OPA controls
were first suspended, Cleveland
consumers prices in January were
up 14.1 per cent.
The food bill in Cleveland declin-
ed for the second consecutive
month in mid-January. The aver
age decrease of 1.2 per cent was
chiefly the result of seasonal
drop of 1879 per cent in egg prices
and a reduction of 81 per cent in
dairy products. Butter fell 1913 per
cent in mid-January after having
advanced 80 per cent in middle
cember. A decrease of &c per cent
in the price of lard accounted for
an average decline Of 2.6 per cent
in fats and oils.
Fresh fruits and vegetables went
down slightly CO.'S per cent), as
lower prices for oranges, apples,
green beans and lettuce more than
offset advances for potatoes and
carrots. Canned goods moved up
90 per cent while the dried items
increased 0.5 per cent.
A rise of 10 per cent in meats
reflected higher prices for all cuts
and varieties ranging from 0.8 per
cent for beef and veal to IL per
cent for pork. Fish and chicken
prices advanced 20 per cent and
Ia per cent respectively. Cereals
and bakery products remained
comparatively stable, edging up 0.5
per cent during the month. Sugar
advanced further by 81 per cent
and coffee moved up 1.8 per cent.
Clothing costs continued TO rise
as higher prices were reported for
mems wool suits, overalls, socks |
and shoes, and women's rayon and
percale housedresses and nylon
hose. The average increase in mid |
January was IA per cent as COM
pared with 6.2 per cent in mid |
December. The miscellaneous items |
edged up 0.3 per cent due to higher |
costs, for toilet paper, laundry |
soap, matches and motor oil.
Housefurnishings declined 1.9
per cent, reflecting chiefly reduc- |
ions in prices of living room
suites. Moderate increases were re-
ported for cook stoves, bedroom
suites and sheets.
Further increases in bituminous
,oal prices resulted in an average
'ise of II per cent in the fuel,
electricity and ice group. Gas and
,lectricilty rates to consumers re-
NAMED unchanged.
Rents were not surveyed in jan
larry.
