Stock Market Uneven,
But Average Shows
Slight Advance
By Victor Eubonk
As.eeiat.d Press Flneneiol Writer

NEW YORK, May 3.-Despite
considerable irregularity, the stock
market today stepped out of its
best recovery week since mid March
with modest average gain although
dealings and breadth were the
smallest since 1914.
Bidding by professionals through
out the si& sessions was based
partly on dividends, splitups and be-
lief the list was due for good tech
nical revival after three successive
losing months. Participation by
brokerage customers still was slack
due to skepticism over wage-price
situations, the business outlook,
taxes and foreign affairs.
The market firnned in spots dur
ing the last few minutes of the
final proceedings but losers were
plentiful at the close of numerous
pivotals did nothing. Transfers of
250,000 shares were low since July
29,1944, and compared with 10000
IN the previous short stretch. The
weeks aggregate was 4,328, 800 shares
against 4,379,670 the week before
and was a bottom since the period

"You little foolsw exclaimed
Mr.. Dilworth. "Don't you realize
YOU are the ones who'll suffer if
the Errand Boys G. Mama's Little
Helpers go on striker"
"To tell the truth, | hadn't" Lit
tie Luther admitted. 81 still don't"
"Look at it this way" said Mr..
Dilworth. "You get 81 a week. So
do the other 500 members of your
union. That's $500 a week. Let's
say the strike lasts ten weeks be-
fore you come crawling back. That
will be $4,000 you'll lose"
"But oh, father, we won't come
crawling back" said Little Luther.
"Nonsense!" said Mr.. Dilworth.
"We parents have already seen the
editors of both papers in this town,
and we're set to give it to you"
you'll give us everything but
raise, won't you? asked Little
Luther.
81 can just see the headlines"
Little Luther mused. "City Threat
ened With Epidemic, Pigs Face

In Homes. Well, if the pigs really
get worried, / can tell them where
to get a lot of garbage s. all
they have to do is pick up paper
and eat it,"
"It's free press" Mr.. Dilworth
pointed out.
"And they'll get free indigestion
from it, too," said Little Luther.
"The papers will have a swell time.

"Well, aren't you ready to give

er, 81 won't be losing $4,000. I'll
be losing $40 if | lose anything.
Second place, / won't be losing it,
because you'll still have those
ashes to move out, and if | don't
move them out this month, I'll
move them out two months from
now. One thing Pm sure-you're
too lazy to move them out your
self. Did you run your plant when
the men struck last year,"
"Let's not mention that painful
episode" Mr.. Dilworth said sharp
ly.
"And besides, when we settle
this strike" said Little Luther,
"we're going to have provision
for overtime. SO I'll probably get
SIS for moving out that $40 worth
of ashes. Put that in your pipe
and smoke it."
"Are you sure if | do" Mr.. Dill
worth begged, "that it will leave

profits for the full year of 194T
'to exceed the record net results q

the course of Industrial develop
ments."
The "key" question, seen in the
report, "centers about the willing
ness of employers, through peace
full negotiations, to agree to the
wage increases which today's fav-
aorable situation makes possible.
Or will employers make it neces-
sary for workers to strike in order
to obtain fair wage gains.
"Workers' total income declined
by $500, 100000 while the income
of other groups rose by total OF
$4,000, 100000" in the period be-
tween 1945 and 1916, the report
revealed.
"This cut in workers income is
serious for two reasons" it added,
ait means a decline in workers
living standards, especially when it
comes at a time of price increases,
and the market for industry's prod
ucts will be cut unless workers in
come is increased. The nations

ers buy great deal larger share
of industry's consumer goods prod
uct than do the 10,000,O00 farmers

Women Are Increasingly Important
In Picture Of u. S. Woge Eorners

Washington, ID. C.-Women have
been assigned to increasingly inn
portant roles in the wage-earning
world, declared the Labor Depart
ment in an annual report of its
Women's Bureau for the fiscal
year ending June 80.
Describing women workers as
"a force that no government can
afford to ignore in its overall
planning" the Bureau said:
"Important factors to be consid-
cred are the nations need for the
goods and services made and per-
formed by women and the ecoonmic
need of millions of women to sup
port themselves or supplement the
family income.
Citing evidence of the nations
dependence on women, the Bureau
said that during the war women
formed a third of all workers, and
that the 100000 in the labor
market today represented close to
2S per cent of all employed per-

Washington, d. Workers and
other consumers are making up
their income deficit by drawing on
their savings and buying on credit,
it was reported in the Monthly
Survey Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, which declared that
consumer credit has increased As
per cent in the last year while
savings have dropped al per cent.
"These are the first signs of
danger" the report said. "To sup
port production by consumer bor-
rowing and by spending savings is
to build our industrial structure
on a hollow foundation which will
collapse. An enduring foundation
can only be built out Of increased
consumer income, and about rs to
80 per cent of American consum-
ers are workers and their families.
"Wages and salaries provide
about 70 per cent of consumer in
come, which is spent for foods.
Factory workers average weekly
real wage in December, 1916, was
per cent below the same month
of the previous year and the real
wage of workers in retail stores
dropped 2 per cent in the same
periodic cite as typical exam
pies industries which employ 40
per cent of all non-farm workers.
That is why workers have had to
borrow and draw on their savings.
That is why workers income must
be restored"
Discussing the question of
whether labor and employers can
be partners, the survey said:
American industries and con-
sumers are reaping the benefits of
labor's cooperation. A reliable in
vestors' service anticipates excel
lent earnings statements for the

sons. Prior to the war, women ac-
counted for about a fourth of the
total labor force.
Certain industries and occupa-
tions, it was said, are almost en-
tirely dependent on women work
ers. For instance, in 1910, women
formed rs per cent of the nations
teachers, 90 per cent of the nurses,
two-thirds of the workers who
waited on the public in restaurants
and hotels, more than, nine-tenths
of the telephone operators and
household employees. They also
accounted, in the same year, for
two-ffths of those who sold mer-
chandise in shops and stores and
more than three-fourths of the op-
eratives who made apparel and ac-
cessories.
Concerning women's economic
need for gainful employment, the
Bureau labeled as an "unwarrant-
ed assumption" the frequently
made statement that with the end
of the war, women no longer had
"need for remunerative employ
ment" Pointing to its wartime
survey Of $4,000 women in 10 in
dustrial areas of the country, the
Bureau said that fully rs per cent
of the women interviewed ex-
pressed the desire for postwar
jobs.
Eighty-four in every 100 had to
support themselves and, in many
cases, dependents. Eight in every
100 had still other important uses
for their earnings-they had to
pay off debts, save toward the pur-
chase of home, or accumulate
nest-egg for the children's educa-
ton. According to the Bureaus
findings, only eight women in every
1G0 worked solely because they
liked to work.

improved greatly, workers produc-
tivity (or production per man-hour
is now increasing significantly.
"The first month of 1947 shows
an outstanding record FOR peaceful
industrial relations. Not more than
$4,000 workers were on strike. at
any one time during January,
which compares with some $780,
0G0 out on strike in January last
year, and an average of $4,000
per month in the last half of 1916.
This 1947 record is as good as in
wartime, and has in general con-
tinued into February"
Will Employers Force Strikes?
These developments "are con-
structive for everyone" the sur
vey says, pointing out that the
present operating conditions mean
good profits for industry. Profits
in industry generally" it adds,
reached a peacetime peak in 1916
and have been rising still further
in the first months Of 1947."
The survey asserts that for
labor, present conditions mean
that many employers can now raise
wages without increasing prices
and asks:
''The key question as we look
ahead is this: Will employers,
through peaceful negotiations,
agree to the wage increase which
today's favorable situation makes
possible? Or will employers make
it necessary for workers to strike
in order to obtain fair wage
gains ?"
Production Gain Cited
Then this warning is sounded:
"AFL members have followed
wise and constructive policies
which will contribute to the well
fare of all. Whether they can con
tinue such policies will depend on
the willingness of employers to
bargain in good faith, give the
facts at the bargaining table and
agree to the substantial wage in
creases called for by the current
situation"
On the matter Of workers pro-
ductivity, the survey says:
Production per manhour Of
work has risen substantially in the
last year. AFL estimates, based
on the latest available figures for
production and manhours from u.
S. government and trade associa-
tion sources, show the following
increases from the third quarter
of l945 to the third quarter of
1916: boot and shoe industry, pro-

cent; bituminous coal, 2R per cent.
Gains Are Continuing
"These figures, we feel, are
typical of the productivity in
creases which were occurring last
year This year the increases are
even more striking and industry is
becoming more aware of them"
The survey cites union reports
on greater increased production

cry, asserts that the industrial

LONDON, Dec. 10.-The United

planning an effort to force Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov to lift the
curtain kon affairs in the Russian
occupation zone of Germany.
Secretary of State Marshall and
his advisers are reported to be con-
lending that unless Russia furnishes
information on conditions in their

possible, for the Council of Foreign
Ministers to arrive at substantial
agreement on German unification.
