(AP) ? | Steel workers have been idle for four weeks today Coal miners out of the pits for 41 days. What j has it cost the nation so far ? in | output, in wages in earnings? Some say it's already a national emergen- j ev, others say ? not yet. How long will the bad effects be | felt after the strikes end? How much justification is there for the j view, apparently held by some who are bidding up stocks in Wall street, that out of the strikes will I come a business boom around the first of the year, when the nation tries to catch up again? In the steel mill towns, in the coal states, the effects are plain ! for anyone to see -in the stores, in the banks, at the unemployment in surance and relief agencies. Ehe where, in widening circles, men are being laid off, or their working hours cut, because steel or coai is short at their mill or fac tory. And farther afield, in rural sec ters or those only loosely tied to coal and steel, the effects have yet to show up. But looking at it. nation-wide, here is what we find: Retail store sales down 14 per cent from last year and falling ? the strike hitting hard in steel centers, with sales off 24 per cent in Ohio. Bank clearings off more than 9 , per cent from last year ? off 33 per cent in Pittsburgh. Railroad freight loadings off 36. 5 per cent from last year, and the lowest since May, 1946. Railroad earnings sharply lower. Electric power output below the similar period in 1948 for the first time this year. Money in circulation down $99 million this week, as payrolls ? shrink. Some 600 coal burning locomo tives stalled by government order, to save coal.
