NEW YORK. July 26 —The brewing industry's 1937 pay roll for labor will exceed $80,000,000 as a. result of more employment and increases granted to union workers in new con tracts negotiated with labor leaders. This is exclusive of the estimated $25,000,000 which will be paid to salaried employes and officers, which will bring the aggregate pay roll for the year past the $100,000,000 mark. More than 23.000 union brewery workers, in 71 cities, will add an average of $166 40 to their individual pay envelopes this year as a result of new contracts, it has been calculated by various labor officials. This in crease. which averages $3 20 per man weekly, will aei^regate $3,627,624 for the year for the men already affected by the new contracts The total in crease for all brewery workers will be much greater, however, as negotia tions are still pending in 105 other citiee. according to labor leaders. The new increase raises the weekly pay check of the average brewery worker to o\er $35. The term "worker" does not, of course, include the highly paid brewmasters, chemists and other technical men.

J Λ,—13 OUTLOOK BETTER IN MACHINE IK Possibility of Price Rise Brightens Near Term Earnings Prospects. Br the Associate® Preen. NEW YORK, July 26—The near· term outlook for the machine tool Industry Is brightened by the poesi bility of a rise tn prices, trade ob server* said. Recent labor strife In the Middle West had a doubly unfavorable effect on the Industry. In the first place, it served to brin? higher costs and to cut off raw material supplies Second ly, It caused some contraction in new business. Notwithstanding the fart, domestie buyers have bpen timid about placing new orders, the situation Is not with· out its bright side. "A possible 10 to 20 p»r cent machine tool price advance later this year may result in some decrease In domestic business, but manufacturers presumably could take up the la? by accepting more foreign contracts,'' says Poor's Publishing Co. The National Machine Tool Builders' Associatie index of domestic machine tool orders dropped from a high of 232.5 in April t,o 137 6 in June, or nearly 41 per cent The drop In new business, never theless, did not materially impair sec ond quarter earnings. This. It was argued, was because companies were working at capacity on orders then on hand. As some see it. the months directly ahead may enjoy capacity operations, but heavy business done since 1935 ha* cut Into the large potential de mand A study on obsolescence bv the American Machinist indicated that in 1935 about 65 per cent of the coun try's metal-w-orking equipment was more than 10 year* old. compared with about 48 per cent m 1930 and 44 per cent in 1925. Trade observers sa ν it Is difficult statistically to determine to what ex tent this obsolescence has since been offset. Opinion in some circles is that although progress has been made In satisfying the need for machine tools which accumulated in the depression, much remains to be done.
