D WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1935 THE EVENING STAR, . D. C, ) 5 s PLANT ACTIVITIES Grosvenor Clan to Gather SHOW INCREASE July Figures, However, Re- veal Fewer Men Worked Longer Hours. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 29.—The Na- tional Industrial Conference Board in a survey today determined that during July fewer men working longer hours raised the rate of manufacturing ac- tivity in 25 industries by 0.5 of 1 per | cent. This increase in activity from June to July, measured in total man hours worked, “was caused by an increase of 1.4 per cent in the average work week, rather than an increase in the number of workers employed, since the latter fell off 0.8 per cent,” the board de- clared. Hourly Earnings Low. Average hourly earnings were found to have been 59.8 cents in July, com- pared with 599 cents in June, but an increase in the work week raised | weekly wages on the average from | $21.46 in June to $21.75 in July. | “Since the cost of living in July | was practically the same as in June, the real increase in the average week- ly pay envelope amounted to 1.4 per cent,” the board stated. | “A comparison of conditions in | July, 1935, with those in July, 1934, | shows a definite improvement. More Workers. “There were 2.5 per cent more work- ers employed, whose average work week was 7.1 per cent higher than a year ago and whose combined hours worked were 9.7 per cent higher. “The total pay rolls in July, 1935, exceeded those of July, 1934, by 12 per cent; average hourly earnings, were 1.7 per cent higher and weekly earn- ings 9.3 per cent.” EMBERS of the Massachu- setts family Grosvenor will gather together at Amherst FARM CREDIT POST , : SEEN FOR BROWNING! bratcn o the minetieth bithasy of | Dr. Edwin Augustus Grosvenor, au- ,thor, traveler, educator, and head of the four living generations of the family.

Allred stuck grimly | today to his policy of deciding appeals in a record number of death cases strictly on their merits. “It was realistic to an uncomfortable degree,” said the young Texas execu- tive. “I haven't slept a wink on nights when men were electrocuted.” Two appeals for clemency reached his desk today. He reminded that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals passed on 40 death penalty cases in its past term. double the previous record. “I dreamed I was one of the con- demned men,” Allred said, “and called for a secretary to prepare a proclama- tion commuting my sentence. But there was a question of whether T | could sign it.3 V.
