Industry and Trade
Ito Seek Sustained
Volume in 194o
By J. B. WoIoch
..,,h Am.,;eo, Ne~,pop,r AIIjo,

-
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Year-end
meetings of industrial and business
groups echo the widely held senti-
ment that management's supreme
task next year viii be to hold cur
rent volume levels.
Although moderate increases are
not regarded as unattainable, there
seems to be q tacit understanding
that sterilization in itself would
constitute no mean achievement.
At the symposium held this week
by the American Marketing Asso-
cations Industrial Committee in
Cleveland, it was the consensus that
the major marketing problems of
industrial goods firms in 1949 will
stem from pricing, product lines
and profit margins. AL three must
be solved II operations are to be
successful.
Study Pricing Problem.
Pricing has been made q more
complex problem, 1t was pointed
out, by the basing-point decision
which put plant locations of sup
pliers and customers In q new light
and affected pricing policies. In
the face Of high costs and more
competitive markets, pricing's bear
ing on unit volume and employment
has increased.
Cognizance was taken of the role
product lines will play in the 1949
battle for volume A trend was seen
toward simplification in order to
lower production costs, introduction
Of new lines to afford volume and
employment safety margins and use
of war and postwar developments
to effect product diversification to
the same ends.
Industrial firms are particularly
concerned with manufacturing econ
omies because production expense
often accounts for 80 per cent of such
firms total costs. These economies,
1t was agreed, may be developed in
inventories, production runs, han
ding costs, plant location. efficient
ordering and streamlining.
U. s. Curbs Feared.
Industrial firms foresee additional
problems arising from voluntary al
location, corporate taxation's effect
on expansion from earnings and un-
favorable conditions resulting from
Government regulation. They are
none too sanguine, either, about i'm
proving wage-productivity ratios.
Need also was seen Of cutting the
distribution costs Of industrial goods,
keeping goods flowing evenly through
the market, Strengthening sales Or
carnations, realizing more fully the
potentials Of new products and
markets and co-ordinating produc-
ton to more accurately forecast
sales.

Wool Support Average
To Remain Unchanged
ev Me Assoeiosed Press

The Agriculture Department an
nounced it will support grower prices
of wool in 1949 at q national aver
age of AZ cents a pound, grease basis.
This is approximately the same
average as the 1913 support program.
As was the case this year, the pur-
chase program will be operated un-
der agreements with private trade
handlers who will act as buying and
selling agents Of the Government.
The department said, however.
that some changes will be made in
buying prices Of certain grades and
types of shorn and pulled wool.
In general, lower prices will be set
for the least desirable types and in
creases for the more desirable mars
ket types.

u. 5. Expert Predicts
Fewer Jobs in 1949,
Continued High Total
By the Associofed Press

The Governments top employ
ment expert today predicted fewer
Jobs in 1s4s but said the total will
stay close to 100000
Robert G. Goodwin, director OF
the Bureau Of Employment Security
said the new year will see some
slackening Of the 1s48 record en-
ployment but that shouldn't worry
any one.
The number Of unemployed Is
bound to 60 up" he said. as indus
try and business continue their
peacetime adjustment.
THE process in 1s4s," Mr.. Good
win said, will be one Of different
industries catching up with back
logs and postwar orders and ad-
iusting to q somewhat lower level
lof production and a competitive
market"
Calls Jobless Total Low.
The Census Bureau reported ear
lier in the week that employment
reached an all-time peak OF 63,-
842, 900 In July.
Mr.. Goodwin refused to predict
how much unemployment will in
crease. He said the present 1.sO0.-
loo Is ''abnormally" low consider
ing the size Of the labor force.
The transition to peacetime pro-
duction levels has and will continue
to be a gradual process so that it
hasn't cut across the whole econ
omy at once In 1o48 and 1t won't IN
lo49," Mr.. Goodwin said.
Effect on Women Seen.
One effect seen by Mr.. Goodwin
|of gradually shrinking employment
i'm 1910 Is that women and older
workers probably will find 1t In
|creasingly hard to get jobs.
Mr.. Goodwin's bureau, part Of the
Federal Security Agency, runs both
the Governments job-hnding en-
ployment service and the unemploy-
ment insurance plan. He estimated
the employment service put 12,000.-
600 workers In farm and factory
jobs in 1948.
