industrial Activity
Reflects Improved
Labor Relations
By 6. A. Phillips
Associoted Press Finoneioi Writer

ASsociofed Ffess ftnoncioI Wrif6
NEW YORK, May 29.-A marked
improvement in labor relations
helped boost the rate OF industrial
activity this week.
Attaining a full spring stride in
terrupted only here and there by
retarding influences, overall output
was the best of the year in some
lines and close to previous peaks in
others.
| Better weather over most of the
country stimulated retail sales;
higher employment and increased
wages for many workers boosted
spending power; start of the vaca-
ton season brought to life variety
of seasonal activity that will make
a substantial contribution to the
national economy in the next few
months.
Settlement of the Chrysler strike
late Friday climaxed a week of
fast moving labor developments that
all but eliminated picket lines and
gave both labor and management
at least temporary breather after
weeks Of strife and turmoil.
The better feeling prevailing all
around was reflected in production
statistics.
Steel Output Mounts.
| Steel production at 968 per cent
of capacity was the highest since
March and almost to the limit of
/ its practical capacity; freight car
loadings snapped upward sharply,
rejecting the movement of tre-
nendous tonnage that piled up when
partial embargo was imposed in
consequence of the threatened rail
strike.
| Crude oil output outrun all pre-
vious records at 5,439 200 barrels and
engineering construction awards at
$189 ,903 900 were the second highest
this year. Automobile production
of 92,1O5 units was ahead of the
previous week, despite the Chrysler
strike, and nearly $4,000 greater
than at this time last year.
| Soft coal output of 13,670,000 tons
was close to the best figure of the
year; electric power output fell a
trifie to 5085. 100000 kilowatt-hours
