Goods Still Lagging. By the Associate” Press. Government statisticians said today that America’s long idle carpenters, bricklayers and other skilled workers are beginning to find jobs in the con- struction of private homes. Increased private construction has drawn the attention of economists who have been watching anxiously for im- provement of the long-dragging heavy goods industries. They also found other signs of improvement in this vital field, along with some discourag- ing features. Isadore Lubin, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, summar- ized the situation by saying conditions in the building industry were “very definitely on the rise.” He added that “employment in the heavy goods in- dustries generally is improving, al- though it has a great distance to go to reach the level of non-durable goods.” “Long Way to Go.” An inter-office memorandum pre- pared by the Statistics Division of the Federal Housing Administration said “the available information indicates that at last the building industry is beginning to absorb its unemployed.” It warned, however, that there was still a “long way to go” because even in 1930, when employment wa# higher than in any cther recent year, it was only 88 per cent of normal. A survey of available Government | figures showed other indices of activ- ity in the heavy industries tended generally upward, but were spotty. Employment in July showed an index of 69.3 per cent of the 1923-25 aver- 8ge, as compared with 87.4 a year ago, and pay rolls were 55.5, as compared with 49.9. Some Industries “Normal.” Some industries were declared back to “normal” during the Summer, with agricultural implement makers and automobile smanufacturers employing more than during the 1923-1925 pe- riod, but lumber mills were averaging less than half the workers and rail- road repair shops were at almost as low a level. Lubin said the index of 90 in the machine tools industry was of particu- lar significatice with respect,to fu- ture activity. But he acknowledged that in som= cases it might signify the substitut‘on of machinery for men. As evidence of the long-looked-for pick-up in building, officials pointed to figures or shipments of construc- tion materisls and building permits. Government spending figured in the former, but the private building had | shown little life until recent months. Building Permits Up. Building permits in 753 cities Jumped from 1,808 for residential buildings in July, 1934, to 5,124 in| July of this year. The money in-| volved was $8,699,863 and $27,397,689, respectively. Oak flooring shipments in July were 138 per cent more than in July, 1934; prepared roofing was 66.9 per ount more; face brick was 57 per cent more, and there were similar increases in the shipments of other building mate- | rials except for cement, which dropped slightly.
