Light industry, in. which a wide increase, was contemplated so.as to give the populace. badly need- ed manufactured goods* such .as clothing and household, items, bet- tered last year’s output by less than one epreent..’ Transportation: fell. behind its 1932 mark on the basis of car loadings. Heavy industry carried out only a fraction better than 42 percent of the full year’s production pro- gram, when its accomplishment should have been 50 percent. Its troubles were attributed chiefly to shortcomings in iron and steel, al- though virtually every major branch was unable to accomplish its program. Tractors In Slow Class Pig-iron production for the six months amounted to 36 percent of the year’s schedule of 9,000,000 tons; although it showed an crease over the first half of 1932 of 7.3 percent. Coal output reached 42.8 per- cent of the program of 84,000,000 tons for the whole year but it, too, gained 3.9 percent over last tall eae Machine building, which — in- cludes the tractor, automobile and agricultural combine factories, fulfilled 44.8 percent of the plan for the year of production valued bowed} #* 8,500,000,000 roubles. Basic chemical manufacture reached 43.9 percent of the plan; non-ferrous metals 31.1 percent .|and building materials 28.7 per- cent. Light ~industry maaged to achieve 94 percent of its six months’ program, resulting in a which} 5toTm of criticism in the Soviet press which contends that its task easily was capable of fulfillment. Blame is placed on the generally bad organization of labor in this branch. The glassware and leather in- stries made the poorest show- ing, carrying out less than 75 per cent of their half-year plans. Woolens, footwear and dry-goods production was 95 per cent of the schedule, while the silk, ‘knitted goods and linen . industries ex: ceeedd their programs by about two per cent. Rail Managers Ousted In both heavy and. light indus- in . the productivity of Jabor were record- ed, although in the latter. mach criticism continues to be leveled at the large amount of inferior products turned out. The poor showing in transporta- tion, which recently resulted in a wholesale shakeup of officials, ‘is reflected in figures revealing that the daily average carloadings were 52,000 compared with 58,000 planned and 52,200 for the first six months of 1932, LEE BAKER’S CASH GROCERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY —SPECIALS— SPREE eee RERE reeks WHATS WHAT at the ee By HERBERT PLUMMER (iy Annoointed Press) WASHINGTON, Oc —An ambitious and far-reaching move- ment has been launched quietly in Washington to protect the con- suming public of the country. The sponsors are not claiming miracles. In fact, they are a bit reticent about their efforts. At the same time they look to the future with apparently unbounded confidence. The Consumers’ counsel of the Agricultural Adjustment adminis- tration is backing the program. The purpose is to aid consumers in understanding price chafiges, costs of food and farm commodi- ties and in making wise and economical purchases. Stated in another way, selfish interests which may take ad- vantage of the initial period of economic adjustment by pyramid- ing prices are to be exposed to the buying public, Public persecution of such of-! fenders is not the idéa, Rather, itis to enlist community»support. of merchants of longer vision who ate ready to set aside im gains for the common good. ; ‘Helping The Consumer Good results are claimed for the plan devised to accomplish this purpose, despite the fact that it is in its infancy. Twice a month there goes out from the office of the Consumer's counsel in Washington to anyone ‘who wants it a publication known as the “Consumer's Guide.” It outlines in detail the change in re- tail prices of representative foods in 51 cities of the nation. While warning is given to the consumers in eath city that they will not always find their prices tollowing the average for tne country, it, is suggested that “where there is a wide difference local consumer groups might well question the justification for the greater increase.” Thus an opening is afforded the consumer to ask what might prove to be questions embarrassing to some retailers. For example, the avi e price for a pound of but- ter advanced 2.4 eents from Feb- ruary 15 to August 15, the coun- sel reports. Consumers in Port- land, Me., however, had their price raised on the average of 5.8 cents igher than any of the other 50 cities in August, A General . Check-up Similar reports on other repre- sentative foods are provided. It is estimated there are around 100 so-called consumers’ leagues in the country allied with the Con; sumers’ counsel office here.
