T Behind The Scenes In American Business
Bv JOHN CRADDOCK
NEW YORK. BUSINESS Vir-1
tually unnoticed last month because
of complete domination of the news
by the European crisis, business in!
America has quietly been staging a
steady upward climb from spring's
low levels. Steel mill operations have !
returned to 46.7 per cent of capacity,
and steelmen look for a rate of 60
per cent before the end of October.
Sales managers say incoming orders
from wholesales and retailers to
manufactureoJ'ireflect confidence that
consumer purchasing power will con
tinue to gain. Study of the Federal
Reserve Board's business summary
for August, reported last week, indi
cates that for September the board's
index of nation-wide industrial pro
duction rose above 90 for the first
time in 11 months. Based on 1923-25
as 100. such an index ficure would
July and 76 in May.
WASHINGTON With scrutiny of i
the nation's tax structure scheduled I
to be a major undertaking of the next
Congress, a call for a national labor
tax council, made by L. P. Marciante,
New Jersey Federation of Labor
president, is viewed here as highly
significant because of the strong
voice labor has in national and state
acairs. Marciante made his national
tax council proposal upon receipt of a
Florida Federation of Labor commit
tee's report which urged labor and in
dustry to cooperate in effecting revi
sion of the nation's "dangerously
patchwork" tax structure.
Though recognizing that govern
ment expenditures may require addi
tional tax" revenue, the Florida report
warned that "the success of the re
covery program depends on the fair
ness of new taxing plans" and
charged that "the high cost of living
is unmasked as the high cost of hid
den taxes that fall inequitably on the
wage earner and nullify labor's wage
gains." Marciante proposes that tax
study committees formed by A. F. L.
units in New Jersey, New York, Con
necticutt, Massachusetts, New Hamp
shire and Vermont work together in a
joint program, looking to a national
council "giving united effort and force
to aid solution of tax problems as
they affect labor."
THINGS TO WATCH FOR Tooth
cleaner in liquid form . . . Vegetable
ice creams, developed by a New Jer
sey dairy; its line will soon include
tomato, spinach, pea and lima bean
ice cream . . . Increase of armament
purchases by U. S. Government .as re
sult of war scare ... A carbon mon
oxide detector being offered by an
insurance company; simple to install,
the device is said to guard against
accidents resulting from breathing
enough of the fatal gas while driving
to cause headaches and excessive fa
tigue ... A paint-striping tool that
works like a fountain pen; it will lay
single, double or triple lines of uni
form weight and thickness at any de
sired spacing by a simple adjustment
of guides . . . Another movie like the
hit, "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town"; if
produced, it may be called "Mr. Smith
Goes to Washington" ....
BAD WEATHER AHEAD? A
five year accumulation of rain "de
ficits" in America makes it an odds-on-bet
that this fall and winter will
eee plenty of downpours and flooded
cellars, business analysists declare af
ter a study of weather bureau statis
tics. Though as a rule rain is detri
mental to retail trade, merchants
handling galoshes, overshoes, non-skid
tires and umbrellas may expect to be
in for a good year, Dr. H. E. Fritz of
the B. F. Goodrich Company believes.
The hall closets of the nation are
poorly stocked for the stormy weath
er ahead, he says, as indicated by
, sales figures for the rainwear indus
try. In the nine years since 1929,
when $12,303,000 worth of rain coats
i . were manufactured, production has
aventgad only slightly above $3,000,
jeJMXHlnnually. This low inventory
, situation plus new fabrics such as a
t silk garment "durenized" by -the ap
i plication of what scientists call koro
seal should help to make the coming
. season, a banner year, increasing
sales and . employment tin both the
y-r manufacturing and retail divisions of
i 'the rainwear industry. . v
. REAL HIGH COST LIVING
s i Americans who grouse about the
, high cost of living, ought to live in
) Germany awhile. Latest reports
from that country show some itart-
i lingly high prices for certain foods.
'! - A few typical v examples are, per
i pound.' beef tenderloin, 68 '-cents;
hamburger, 38 cents; chicken, 45
'' ' cents; butter 58 cents coffee, $t08;
sugar, 14 cents; a dozen eggs, 60
K cents. ,These jprfees are for the Ger
V V' man worker whose basic wage is be
3r 4 tween W - and $26.50 , for a 44-

September, D. H. Goodwille, vice
president, reports . . . Automobile
tire sales rose 22 per cent in August
over July . . . Buick and Studebaker

models.
