Fhe department of commerce, announcing this Thursday, added that probable further improve ment in March would supplant these figures, but that only incom plete estimates for the month were available. The department said’ a swelling in manufacturing payrolls of 12 percent in February as compared to January constituted ths great st one-month improvement in 16 years. Y Factory Employment Up A six percent gain in actual fae tory employment during the month as compared to January was recorded as having been ex ceeded only three times in 15 years. : None of the figures included the splurge of pay increases re- " cently announced in the steel, au tomobile and other' industries, * many of which go into effect this month. B The NRA was disclosed Thurs day to be watching the data in tently, >vhile gathering more of its own. A On good authority it was indi cated that quick general action by industry to shorten working hours for re-employment is not mnow expected by Blue Eagle officials but within a reasonable period voluntary cuts in hours are look ed for from large individual groups- . ; If not, the original idea that a flat ten percent reduction be re quired by the government of all who cannot show good cause to the contrary, may ‘be brought inte play. G Downward Trend Stops The commerce department re port noted slight declines in em ployment in non-manufacturing industry between the middle of January and the middle of Febru ary as offsetting but a small pﬁ portion in the “marked gain In factory employment” The actual gain, it added, ‘reversed tha downward trend which had:z; tended over a period of foun months.” . Cash income received by farm ers from the sale of farm pro:g rose nearly flve percent d February after allowance for the seasonal trend, and was 63 per cent above a year ago. Sk Production advances were: not accompanied by similar advances in saleg of goods, the figures indis cated. The February rise in freight-car loadings was regular, while retail sale figures W no marked change, except in the case of automobiles, the value of which was almost double January. Preliminary March figures, how ever, indicated general retail im provement. 4 The gain In the composite index of industrial production’ for the monthy after allowance for the seasonal trend, was nearly four percent, bringing the index con siderably above both 1933 and 1932 and within § percent of Febe ruary. 1931. S Efforts Concentrated . NRA and other administration efforts to improve the. figures thus far noted are concentrated prineipally on two fronts. o Legislation is mnow being con sidered on Capitol Hill to follow President Roosevelt's suggestion that akbout $700,000,000 more cap ital could be used by medium< sized businesses to good empioys ment effect. SR An allled effort is being studied by the President’s national emer gency council. ' involving methods to spur -both home construciion and the heavy goods industries, which will be turned over to the NRA for administration.
