Weekly Payroll Decline Signals Broad Labor Strain in July
United Press reports from Washington that widespread labor disturbances and drought trimmed private industry payrolls by 6.8 percent in July, with 959,000 workers losing jobs and weekly wages down to about 14.46 million. Factory employment fell 3 percent from June to July, the steepest drop since 1911, driven by mining, manufacturing, and construction declines and a San Francisco strike impact. Despite losses, the Labor Department estimated 1.3 million more people employed in private industry than in 1883, with July wages totaling roughly 41 million more than the prior year.

The New Roof Remake Plan for Home Repairs on Credit

Homeowners obtain a cost estimate, present plans to a bank, and receive up to 42000 over three years with a maximum five percent financing charge. They can also finance via a dealer note sold to a bank. Eligible borrowers include wage earners, farmers, and property owners using approved financial institutions. If repayments fail, consult the banker. This could revive the lagging building trades.
