Payrolls Hit a Peak Since 1930s Rise in Factory Employmen
American manufacturing payrolls reached a new high with gains in February as compared to January, marking the greatest one month rise in 18 years.

Farm cash income rose, freight-car holdings increased, and the industrial production index climbed nearly 4 percent, surpassing 1933 and 1932 levels. The NRA watched developments as industries faced possible mandatory or voluntary hour reductions to aid reemployment.
