Marion - County Deeds, Recorded for 11 Months Rise.
Outlook for real estate business in principal Indiana cities for 1938 is discussed in the following article.
By DR. ARTHUR M. WEIMER
| Professot of Business Administration, In
diana University School of Business dministration
Real estate activity in the major urban counties of Indiana in general was at a higher level during
of d recorded in Marion, Lake, Allen, urgh, St. Joseph and Vigo Counties as an index, the to tal amount of real estate activity in these counties was greater for ‘each month during 1937 than in 1936. Also, the total number of transactions reported during the first -11 months of this year was greater than for all of last year. ‘However, the extent of the advance varied considerably from one
| county to another, and in no single
county was the amount of activity: greater in every month of this year. than it was a year ago. In Marion County, for example, there was greater activity in the real estate
2 | market until October. In the last
two months the total number of transactions has been slightly less than during October and November
31 of 1938.
Excapt for the month of July,
7 '| when the volume of activity was al-
most exactly the same as it was a year ago, the real estate market in Lake County has been definitely stronger than it was during 1936. A relatively similar condition existed in Allen County, where the total number of transactions in each month was greater than in 1936, with the exception of July and August.’ Also, real estate activity in
i| Vigo County was stronger in every
month during the current year, except for June and August. Definite Advance Shown With the exception of the specific periods indicated above; the total
volume of transactions: in each county was definitely in advance
$71 of 1936, and in each one of these
six counties: a greater amount of activity ocetirred during the first
3 | 11 -months of this year than in all
of last year: Despite the fact that the real estate market in each of these counties was generally strong during the current year, weaknesses appeared to be developing during
3 | the past few months. In the earlier
months of the year the number of transactions reported was generally far in excess of 1936, while during the past few months several counties have reported fewer transac-
ul tions than a year ago, and in cases
where a greater number was reported there was no great: advance beyond 1936. ~The following table Summarizes here, uatieh 10% wna 1001s Tool (Thru 38.944 4,958

Retail Trade Areas Found Expanding
Prospects. ot Indiana retail business in 1038 are “forecast in ‘the following article, By WAYNE H. STACKHOUSE Assistant of Marketing, Indians University School of Business Administration * Considerable attention has been focused on the fact that most Indi-retailers-have done a larger volume of business during the current year than during 1836. Grocery sales have been about 5 per cent higher. Hardware, drug, clothing and shoe sales have made larger gains, In most cases department stores have reported substantial im‘provement over a year ago. The dollar value of total retail trade in ‘Indiana during 1937 has averaged about 10 per cent higher than during 1936. These facts are of immediate concern to many of us, but in some respects they are not as important as certain changes in distribution practices that have been developing for sume time without receiving very much attention. The wise businessman is studying these developments and adjusting his organization to meet the changed conditions.

FOREIGN TRADE
To Help Expansion in World Commerce.
; By DR. HAROLD M. HAAS Ansistant, Brofessep of Marketing, I Indiana
versity te on
To many people in Indiana, the interest which industry and commerce in this state has in foreign trade may appear remote or of minor significance. It is the purpose ‘of this article to point out that such is not the case. Every
individual in Indiana who is engaged in any form of economic ac= tivity is affected both directly and indirectly by developments in our international economic relations. It has been estimated that twothirds of our total production is sold outside the State. Whether or not Indiana exports directly in any great amount to foreign countries, prodycers in Indiana do sell to others the prosperity of the former is dependent to = considerable degree on that of the latter.
; Hiusiration Is Cited
To illustrate, we can sell apples or meat or furniture to cotton growers only to the extent that they can sell cotton abroad. If these cotton growers, for example, had not sold, as they dic sell, $391,000,000 worth of cotton in foreign markets in 1935, or if the machinery industry had been cut off in some manner from its foreign sales of $249,000,000, or the automobile industry of its $227,000,000, this actual buying of over a billion dollars which was created in this country by sales abroad would not have been made available to the producing industries in ‘this state. At least one attempt has been made to gather data concerning the extent to which Indiana’s manufactures are exported. In 1936, the Foreign Commerce Department of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey of export trace of the district covered by that office; that is, by the Indianapolis Co-operative Office of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Trade. This survey covered about 42 counties. Only partial returns were obtained and these have never been published.
Produce Brand Developed
Forty-two firms reported actual figures. Ir addition, 46 firms reported that their products found their way info foreign markets either directly er indirectly, but
7 {made no tic statements of the
amounts. . The value of the products expor.ed by these 42 firms in 1935 totaled over $5,700,000. Meager as this data is, it shows clearly that industry in this state is deeply concerned with the development of foreign markets. As we become more and more industrialized, as we make increasing use of the principles of specialization and division of labor, this concern will increase. If we are to produce on a
economies, we must have larger and larger markets. This principle applies as well to agriculture as to manufactured products, We are unable at this time trace the destination of the produ of our land which are shipped out of the state. However, we are developing our own brand, the “Seal of Quality.” Those who know something of the development of foreign markets for agricultural products of other states which are sold under a brand name must realize the need for wider and wider markets as an important

portion of their output directly to industrial users. ' Some manufacturers are selling less of their out-
put throuch their own retail outlets.
Tr: ding Areas Larger
Retail ‘rading areas have been getting wider for a .long time, but the trend has become more marked during recent years. Moving pic tures, radios, newspapers, magazines, an¢ visits to urban centers have mace the rural population conscious of the growing emphasis being place: upon style. . Prior io the recent depression, primary interest was centered in production problems, Manufacturers could ‘sei! almost anything they cared to produce; retailers could sell almost anything they cared to stock. Conditions have changed materially. Businessmen now find it desirable, if not absolutely necessary, to consider the wishes of consumer:. We are living in a period of rapid changes in demand.

By DR. HAROLD G. FRAINE Asmlistant Professor, Indiana University School of Business Administration A retrospective glance. at industrial relations in Indiana during the past year finds two events standing out above all others. These were: First, a tremendous increase in the number of industrial disputes,
trend in evidence at the beginning of the year; and, second, the creation of the Division of Labor as a
ernment. There were about twice as many industrial disputes’ in Indiana in 1937 as in the preceding year. The basic cause of most of the disputes does not appear to have been dissatisfaction with wages, hours, and. working conditions so much as it was the effort to obtain two things: Increases in union membership and employer recognition ‘of ‘a particular union.
which recognition o? a union was the primary issue has been on the upward trend for some time. In 1935, an attempt was made, to ‘remove this important cause ° of es by passing the National Labor Relations Act. The act might possibly have succeeded in its purpose had competition not developed within the ranks of organized labor. The A. F. of L. was being challenged for labor supremacy by its fast growing offspring, the Committee for Industrial Organization.
Creates New Bureau
The rising tide cf strikes, early in 1937, with their resulting interference with production was considered by the Indiana State Legislature to demand emergency action. A State Division of Labor was created, which was charged, among other things, with the obligation of mediating disputes upon the request of either side. The State Division of Labor commenced operations on April 1 and by Dec. 1 there had been referred to it more than 400 cases involving over 105,000 employees. All but one-eighth of these cases were settled by the latter date, resulting in the return of over 92,000 employees to work, More than half of the cases were connected with C. I. O. But almost as many, over two-fifths, involved unions of the Fedsration, indicating that the latter organization had been by no means idle. Membership in both organizations increased during the year, with C. I. O. having the greater increase. Employers were at first rather unenthusiastiz over the creation of the “State Division of Labor; but almost as many cases have been referred to the Division by them as by their employees. Of the 404 cases filed with the division, only 84 reached the strike stage; and with one or two painful exceptions, they were fairly peaceful.

‘Small Business Group’ Is Conducting Own Strike, . Cominissioner Charges.
State Lubor Commissioner Thomas R. Hutson, in a statement reviewing the first -year of the commis sion’s lab Jr activities, today declared that he “cannot condone the sitdown strike.” He branded sit-down strikers, however, as amateurs compared to. what he sharacterized as an existing “strike 0’ a small minority of business to :mbarrass the Administra« tion and curtail activities of union
which was a continuation of a | labor.”
Referring to those who refuse ne gotiations in labor strife, Mr. Hutson said that; “no amount of reasonable jon can convince this mie nority that this is an age of enlighte ened co-operation.” He made this reference as he charged that “there remains a small minority which denies the necessity of a workable relationship between industgy and labor.” “Those who last summer created : the slogun, ‘The right-to work,” now are denying their workers that right by an artificial recession,” :he charged. : Mr. Hutson cited these figures to show the first year’s work of his department: Cases filed, 428; cases settled, 3886; cases pending, 42; number of -em-= ployees affected, 110, 192; number of employees. directly affected, 82,496; number - .of persons indirectly affected, 15,757; number of employees returned to work, 101 418, He aclded that of the number of cases flied, 93 were strikes, 67 ime pending strikes and 30 lockouts.

ever sefe) may be listed the fole lowing: The marketing procéss will continue to function under the direct influence of recent legisla . tion; tne marketing structure will take new form under the guidance of the law; new legislation affecting marketing will be delayed while the business structure continues to digest the old; the effects of the recent legislation will be less than its framers desired and less than its opronents feared. ; Under the existing relation be= tween Fovernment and business, no business is free from the effects of legislation. Such Federal and State legislation as the George-Dean Act, the undistributed profits tax law, the gross income tax law, and the Wage-Iour Bill are of great interest to those engaged in marketing in Indiana. But legislation of this type, of uncoubted general interest, has no special significance for marketing. The Robinson-Patman Act and the Miller-Tydings Act, the latter serving as Federal enabling measure for the enforcement of State Fair trade acts, directly influence the distribution of merchandise. Busi nessmen engaged in marketing in Indiana and throughout the nation have a stake in their outcome.
