To have served you in

This may continue. Leaders in new

1943. Relaxing’ restrictions on -pri. vate construction will come in near
future. Gains in 1944 will show in
this category: when compared with
1943. Am: optimistic on postwar
home building.
The shoe and clothing industries
are beset by price ceilings and
“ereased costs. These. will .continue
through 1944. Woolen industry will
remain very active. Rayon will .continue at capacity output. Cotton industry ‘will be fairly active—nearly
equal last year’s level. With GerMany out, consumer demand _. for
these goods should quickly replace

volume. Cereal products will do
well. Canned goods will feel effects
of. sharply higher costs and lower
output. Bituminous coal depends upen labor union. policy, but I expect
output to be at least 10% better in
1944 than in 1943.
Air transport will gain in equipment and efficiency. Manpower is
far from solved. The trend of the
industry is up for both air passengers and freight. Railroads will continue to suffer from equipment
shortages. War peak of traffic ‘s
.passed. Railroad needs are so acute
that higher: priorities for equipment
will be forced. -After the war, -railroads will have a_ terrible’. slump.
‘With much less to haul, they will
face, as never before, competition
portation, new pipe lines, airplanes
and trucks. Hastern roads. will slump
as soon as Germany collapses.
Electronics and television should
‘boom. Heavy electrical’ equipment
orders may decline slightly in 1944.
Kilowatt output may be 10% better in 1944 than in 1943. Lumber
volume will continue to be reduced.
Backlog of machine -tool orders is
declining sharply. Subcontracts may
help. Nonferrous metals are heid
down by acute manpower shortage.
Paper and pulp will be affected by
the cut in newsprint. Paperboard
output in 1944 should equal 1943.
Refinery petroleum ouput in 1944
will-run 10% above 1943. Higher
. . prices for. crude probable. All time
peaks in steel output scheduled for
1944. Shipbuilding may not show a
further gain, but launchings will.
OUTLOOK FOR LABOR
Crux is whether sufficient skilled
‘and unskilled workers can be channeled into critical war industries. It
is estimated that 2,000,000 workers
must be added to essential plants in
the next few months.However, over
2,000,000 men and women reach age
18 every twelve months. Therefore
the labor. sitwation may begin to
ease. There will be many disputes
but most upsets will be of short
duration and small scope. — Labor
leaders must threaten strikes for
publicity and to hold jobs. The cost
(of living situation will dictate the
rise and fall of strikes. If rolling
back prices is successful, pressure
for higher wages will be considerably reduced. After Germany cracks;
there will be no~scarcity of labor.
Labor’s honeymoon: is approaching
its end. There will be no railroad
strike in 1944. °
STOCK MARKET
The 1944 long term trend of stock . !
prices is definitely upward. A grow. ing’; hoard of money se ks investment. Few new ‘stocks are! available.
Present holders are less willing to
let stocks go, except at higher’ prices. The rise from. May, 1942 to July
1943, was a long, “unbroken advance.
A period of consolidation such as
from July 14 to date, was in order.
