CAIN IN FOUR YEARS
280,000 Already Employed In Auto Capital, Many More Await Call.
By JOHN W. LOVE Times Special Writer DETROIT, Oct. 21.—Once more the auto industry opens the employment throttle. The pickup in Iatery work is the fastest since The Detroit Board of Commerce announced this week that 20,000 men had been added to payrolls the first two weeks of October, bringing the total employment in Wayne County auto plants to 280,000. The re-employment in General Motors plants, in Michigan and elsewhere by the end of the month, will bring its factories payroll to 195,000 and its office payroll to 30,000. The announcement by Alfred P, Sloan Jr. that 35,000 would be rehired followed one of similar import, though in smaller figures, in behalf of Chrysler last week, and precedes, doubtless, an announcement by Ford.
Hudson to Add 6000
Proportionate increases are being . made by several other companies, among them Hudson, which expects to add 6000 men within a month. These increases are built largely on the responses of dealers throughout the country to the 1939 models. Last week was the high tide of the announcement season, though two of the leading volume makes have not yet been unveiled. Because this revival is based on dealer enthusiasm, it is hard to say how long the production will last. Advance orders are said to be unprecedented. Dealers’ stocks are low and one service reports custemers’ orders are piling up faster than deliveries are being made.
Labor Rumblings Fade
Defroit, used to alternating feast and famine, now runs into what begins to be called a car shortage, thus bearing out a forecast made in August. A year ago the companies thought they were doing the right thing by keying up production to the demand of the preceding year, and they were wrong. This year they did the same thing, and they were wrong again, but in the reverse way. Threats of labor trouble seem to be evaporating. The convention over the 32-hour week recently was for the purpose of getting as many men as possible placed on the seniority list.
STATE FACTORY PAY AVERAGE UP
Highest Level Since Last December Reported.
The average pay envelope for factory workers in Indiana contained $23.88 last month, Martin F. Carpenter, Indiana Employment Service director, said today. : This is the highest rate that has been reached since last December and an increase of 1.7 per cent over August, he added. The increase was largely because the average weekly hours of factory employees in September reached the highest level since October, 1937. Average hourly rate for the factory wage earners in September was 68 cents, Mr. Carpenter said.
CITY WILL COLLECT ASHES TWICE A WEEK
Trucks Begin Gathering Up Dead Leaves.
Beginning Monday, Oct. 31, ashes will be collected twice a week and garbage once a week, Ernest PF. Frick, Works. Board secretary, announced today. During the summer, garbage was collected twice and trash once. Meanwhile, Fred XK. Eisenhut, street commissioner, announced that City trucks have begun the annual fall cleanup of dead leaves. A large part of the leaves, he said, are given to nurseries for use as fertilizer. The rest are thrown into the City dump.
