...earnings reports last week, looking for clues. The National City Bank's earnings report for 275 big corporations, released last week, showed income after taxes for the first nine months of 1943 up 13% over last year (for the third quarter alone the increase was 7%). Although the nine-month figure was still 21% under the bonanza 1941, the totals made fine political talk for labor's new drive over the half-dead body of the Little Steel wage formula (see p. 17).

Up to now, most U.S. corporations have adopted this cautious view-at least toward their stockholders. According to a New York Stock Exchange study of the nine-month dividend records of 842 listed stocks, 135 paid more than last year, 369 paid the same, 145 paid less (or nothing at all).

To quiet union suspicions of a profit-inspired speedup, Murray did something unique in time study history: five union men were selected to take a nine-month time-study course, to help work out the new schedules...
...World War I the Serbs gained a nine-month breather because German and Austrian troops were afraid to attack lest they be swamped by the typhus epidemic in Serbia. Russia was the highest loser, with 10,000,000 cases, of which 2,000,000 were fatal. With the same fear and figures in mind, the German Army was not sure last week which it feared most, the Russian before or the louse behind...
