REVIEW
serts Harry E. Weston, Editorial Director,
"The Paper Industry and Paper World."
Railways-Samuel 0 . Dunn, Editor,
"Railway Age," declare s that "There has
been under the New Deal no progress
whateve r in overcoming, •the handicaps
-mos t of them political~which have
placed the railroad industry in the ranks
of the under-privileged and under-nour-
ished. Nevertheless even under a · re-
gime of poverty, there are ups and
d owns-periods of no net income at all ,
followed by periods of less penury. The
railroads now appear to have left be-
hind the former of these two periods,
and to have entered the s econd . . .
There are many observations which will
s upport a prediction that railway traffic
and railway earnings of 1939 s hould ap-
proach those of 1936, when net railway
operating income was 667 million dol-
lars. By the same token, purchases by
the railways from the manufacturing in-
dustries in 1939 should also exceed 600
millions, s urpassing"' l938 purchases by
upwards of 80%."

Shipbuilding-Prospects for 1939 are
brighter thcin at any time since the
World War; believes H: H. Brown, Edi-
tor, "Marine Engineering and Shipping .
Revie'w .'' ,,Greater progress has been
made _in s hipbuilding in 1938, he con-
tinues than in almos t any other indus-
try in the U. S. For the third consecutive
year s hipbuilding has set a new peace
time record in the · volume of vessel ton-
nage under cons truction , and in 1939
both merchant and naval s hipbuilding
are • on the thres hold of further expan-
s ion .

bleaching and finishing , rayon and s ilk,
wool-set the ir sales generally in ac-
cordance with pre vailing trade winds
and quite generally avoided over-pro-
duction and glutted markets. Due to this
policy prices on yarns and finished
goods held up remarkably well and cur-
rent reports indicate a quick response
of production to increased demands.
Production figures and the consequent
demand for running supplies and oper-
ating equipment in the industry have
run from 15% to 25 % behind 1937 fig-
ures which were generally considered
an all-time high for the various divisions
of the industry. It se ems likely that the
same course a s in 1938 will be purs ued
in 1939.
Wood Working- Both wood producing
and fabricating plants in all section s of
the country are laying plans for in-
creased productio n in 1939, declare s M.
B. Pendleton, Editor, "Wood Products."
Conservative opinion in the industry pre-
dicts at least a 20 % increase in business
for 1939 with a possible increase as g reat
a s 30 %. Even a 20 % increase would tax
the capacity· of many pla nts, • as the
great maj ority have e n joyed good b usi-
ness since the middle of la s t July.
