Whenever two entries are made for 1934 the first is comparable withthose for preceding years in that the Statistics of Income data usedare based on the old industrial classification; the second is compa-ra.ble with those for succeeding years in that the Statistics of Incomedata used are based on the new industrial classification.

Net savings and net income, adjusted, exclude gains and lossesfrom saLes of capital assets, 1929—38, and from changes in inven-tory valuation, Net savings and net income without anyspecific designation are unadjusted, i.e., include these two types ofgain and loss.

Classification of Biennial Census of ManufacturesIndustries by Industrial Divisions

The basic data for estimates of wages and salaries originating inmanufacturing for both major and minor industrial divisions arereported for several hundred industries in the Biennial Census ofManufactures. The industrial divisions in our estimates have beenformed by grouping numerous Census industries. Since the num-ber of industries in the Biennial Census of Manufactures variessomewhat from year to year, the exact grouping into our indus-trial divisions also is subject to change from one Census year tothe next. But as these changes are minor, it was deemed sufficientto give in detail the contents of our industrial divisions, in termsof Census industries, for one Census year alone. The classificationbelow is for '929, the year in which the Census was especiallydetailed.

Gross Income by Major Industrial Divisions

The entries for odd years are the sums of value of product figuresfrom the Biennial Census of Manufactures and grouped accordingto our classification. The intercensal year estimates, except thatin col. 8 for 1924, are interpolated by corporate data on gross income for 1919—22 and on gross sales for 1922—33 and 1935—37(Statistics of Income). Beginning with 1928 the estimates for thechemical group are the sum of the interpolated figures for pe-troleum refining and other chemicals. The estimates for i arebased on indexes derived by multiplying production indexes (theNBER. series are those prepared by F. C. Mills) by wholesale priceindexes, weighting in each case by the average of the 1933 and'935 value of product figures for the specific Census group. Thebasic series are given in the accompanying table.

TABLE M 7

Salaries by Major Industrial Divisions

The entries for odd years, except 1931, are the sums of the salaryfigures from the Biennial Census of Manufactures and groupedaccording to our classification. The 1919, 1921, and 1923 figuresreported are adjusted to exclude salaries paid at central administra-tive offices. The basis for this adjustment is the ratio, for all manu-facturing, of the total excluding central administrative offices tothe total including central administrative offices as reported for1925 in the Biennial Census of Manufactures. Salaries, as reportedfor 1933 in the Biennial Census of Manufactures, exclude salariesof principal officers. These we estimate on the basis of the ratio ofsalaries of principal officers to other salaries as reported in the 1935Biennial Census of Manufactures.

The method of estimating salaries for intercensal years is thesame, in general, for all industrial divisions: multiplying the num-ber of salaried workers (see the notes to Table M 24) by the averagesalary. The average salary is computed for Census years and inter-polated for intercensal years by average salary data for Pennsyl-

The procedure followed in estimating salaries paid by minor in-dustrial divisions is that described for Table M 7. The specific dataused for each minor industrial division are indicated below.Go!. i and 2 Food and tobacco: total salaries for food and tobacco(see Table M 7) are distributed on the basis of the ratio of salariesin each industry to total salaries. This ratio, derived for Censusyears, is interpolated for intervening years by Pennsylvania datafor 1919—29 and 1938, and Pennsylvania and Ohio data for 1929—37; the products are those covered in the average salary series.Go!. Wearing apparel: interpolation of the average salary, 1919—29, is by the average salary in Pennsylvania men's clothing, women'sclothing, corsets, gloves other than leather, hats and caps, hosieryand knit goods, millinery, neckwear, overalls, shirts, shirtwaists,underwear, leather boots and shoes, sole leather, handkerchiefs,umbrel]as and parasols; and in New York furs, leather and rubber,and clothing and millinery. For 1929 and later years data for thefollowing Pennsylvania industries are also included: leather gloves,fur goods, men's furnishing goods, n.e.c., and suspenders. For1929—37 data for the following Ohio industries are included: men'sand women's clothing, hosiery and knit goods, and boots and shoes.Cot. Textile fabrics: interpolation of the average salary, 1919—29,is by th.e average salary in Pennsylvania awnings, bags, blankets,braids, carpets, cordage and twine, cotton goods and yarn, curtains,dyeing and finishing textiles, flags, haircioth, lace goods, shoddy

TABLE M i3

Interest by Major Industrial Divisions

Net long term interest is the difference between total interest paidon long term debt and interest received on tax-exempt obligations.Total interest, 1922—35, is estimated by applying to the par valueof long term debt the average interest rate of the corporate samplefor the industry. Long term debt outstanding on December 31,1921, 1923, 1924, 1926—35 is reported in Statistics of Income. The1921 figures as reported in capital stock tax returns are assumedto be complete; the 1923 And 1924 figures are raised by the ratio ofthe fair value of the stock of all corporations to the fair value ofthe stock of corporations reporting assets and liabilities. For 1926—31 the reported figures on par value of long term debt are raised bythe 1931 ratio of compiled receipts of all corporations to compiledreceipts of corporations reporting assets and liabilities. The com-piled receipts ratios for 1932—35 are used to raise the reportedfigures for the respective years.

Long term debt outstanding on December 31, 1922 and 1925is interpolated by the corporate sample for the industry, whenavailable, and along a straight line, in other cases. The year-endfigures are averaged to give average long term debt outstandingduring the year; multiplying these averages by the estimated in-terest rates yields total long term interest, 1922—35. The estimatesof total long term interest, 1919—21 and 1936—38, are extrapolatedfrom 1922 and 1935 respectively by the long term interest paidby the corporate sample for the industry.

Interest received, 1922—37, is interest received on tax-exemptobligations as reported in Statistics of Income. The industrial dis-tribution of interest received on tax-exempt obligations by allcorporations, as reported in Statistics of Income for 1919—2 1, is

assumed to be the same as in 1922. The 1938 estimates are assumedto bear the same relation to total interest paid as in 1937.Gol. Construction materials and furniture: in 1926 and lateryears net interest paid by metal building materials corporations,covered in Statistics of Income in the metals group, is included.Long term debt for these corporations is reported for 1930—33 inthe special tabulation of Statistics of income data.

626 PART FOUR

Preliminary estimates of total withdrawals are obtained for19 19—37 by applying to the non-corporate value of product (seethe notes to Table M iS) two estimated, withdrawal ratios. Thefirst, derived from Statistics of Income, is the ratio of dividendsand officers' compensation to gross sales of corporations. Thesecond is obtained by applying an adjustment factor to the cor-porate ratio of officers' compensation to gross sales, basic data forwhich are also from Statistics of Income. This adjustment factoris obtained as follows: from the 1931 Statistics of Income data forcorporations having no net income, gross sales per corporationand the ratio of officers' compensation to gross sales, by assetclasses, are derived. The regression line of the ratio of officers'compensation to sales on the logs of sales per corporation is com-puted and plotted. From this curve are read off ratios of officers'compensation to gross sales per corporation and per individualenterprise of the size indicated in each year by the actual sales percorporation and the value of product per entrepreneur. The rela-tion of this expected ratio for the average individual concern tothe expected ratio for the average corporation is the factor bywhich the ratio of officers' compensation to sales is adjusted to yieldthe second withdrawal ratio. The second withdrawal ratio for1934, comparable with that for 1933, is extrapolated from '933 to1934 by the ratio of officers' compensation to gross sales of cor-porations filing unconsolidated returns as reported in Statistics ofIncome.

Both withdrawal ratios were applied to the estimated non-cor-porate value of product to yield two sets of preliminary estimatesof total withdrawals, from which preliminary withdrawals perentrepreneur were computed. The first ratio yielded average levelsof withdrawals per entrepreneur which, with a single exception,were in reasonable agreement with those that might be expectedfrom average sales per entrepreneur; the second ratio yieldedwithdrawal estimates whose year to year changes were in reason-able agreement with the expected relative stability of what areessentially per family expenditure levels. The final estimate ofaverage withdrawals was obtained by applying to the preliminaryfigure resulting from the second withdrawal ratio the ratio of thesum of the first withdrawal ratio for 1919—33 to the sum of the

The average withdrawal for 1938 wasextrapolated from 1937 by the average salary in the industry.Cot. i Food and tobacco: the above method gives unreasonably lowresults for the food and tobacco group. For it, the expected ratio ofofficers' compensation to gross sales for individual concerns of thesize given is applied to the average value of product per entre-preneur to obtain a preliminary average withdrawal figure in eachyear. The average difference (per year) between the sum of thepreliminary withdrawal figures and the sum of the average salaryfigures for 1919—35 is added to the average salary to yield theaverage withdrawal in each year.Cot. 9 Total: sum of col.

628 PART FOUR

The net income ratio is, for all industries except food andtobacco, the corporate ratio to gross sales of the sum of statutorynet income before taxes, officers' compensation, and estimatedlong term interest paid. The interest item is our estimate of totallong term interest paid. The other items, except gross sales,1919—21, and officers' compensation, 1925—27, are from Statisticsof Income. Gross sales, 1919—21, are extrapolated from 1922 byStatistics of Income data on gross income. Officers' compensationin 1Q25, 1926, and 1927 is obtained by interpolating between 1924and 1928 by corporate sales. The net income ratio is derived for allyears, 1919—37. The '934 ratio comparable with that for 1933 isestimated by applying to the 1933 figure the percentage changefrom 1933 to 1934 in the net income ratio, excluding the interestitem, for unconsolidated returns as derived from the 1934 Statisticsof Income.

Net income is extrapolated from 1937 to 1938 by corporate netincome.Col. i Food and tobacco: the ratio of net to gross income for thevarious subgroups and their relative weights in the non-corporatevalue of product made the net income ratio for food and tobaccoas derived by the above method seem too low. It was thereforeraised 75 per cent, the approximate adjustment based on the shareof high net income industries in the total non-corporate value ofproduct and the relation of their net income ratios to the netincome ratio for all food and tobacco.Col. Chemical: since the use of the data for the group as a wholegave undue weight to petroleum refining, the non-corporate valueof product is estimated separately for petroleum refining andchemicals proper.

The net income ratios for 1926 and later years for the minordivisions are based on statutory net income, since officers' com-pensation and long term interest are reported solely for the entiregroup. As corporate gross sales for the minor divisions are notavailable before 1926, preliminary estimates of entrepreneurial netprofit are derived by applying to statutory net income of corpo-rations the ratio of the non-corporate to the corporate value ofproduct. These estimates are used to extrapolate the 1926 figureback to 1919. To the sum of the resulting partial net income figuresfor petroleum refining and chemicals proper is added the amount

Compiled net profits for1919—21 are the sum of statutory net income after taxes (Statisticsof Income) and dividends and interest received on governmentholdings. The latter two items are estimated on the assumptionthat the industrial distribution of the total as reported in the 1922Statistics of Income applies to the totals reported for 1919, 1920,and 1921. For the derivation of total dividends see the notes toTable M ii.Col. 3 Construction materials and furniture: included in 1926 andlater years are the savings of metal building materials corporations,covered in Statistics of Income under the metals group.

TABLE M 24

Salaried Employees by Major Industrial Divisions

The entries for odd years, except 1931, are the sums of the num-ber of salaried employees from the Biennial Census of MaWufac-tures and grouped according to our classification. The 1919, 1921,and 1923 figures reported are adjusted to exclude salaried em-ployees at central administrative offices on the basis of the ratiofor all manufacturing of the total excluding central administrativeoffices to the total including central administrative offices as re-ported in the 1925 Census. Salaried employees reported in the1933 Census exclude principal officers. These we estimate on thebasis of the ratio of the number of principal salaried officers toother salaried employees as reported in the 1935 Census.

The method of estimating salaried employees is the same ingeneral for all industrial divisions. Salaried employees for inter-censal years are estimated by multiplying the number of wageearners (see the notes to Tables M 22 and M 23) by the ratio ofsalaried employees to wage earners. The ratio of salaried employeesto wage earners is derived from Census data for odd years andinterpolated for other years by ratios calculated from state data.The state data are from the sources cited in the notes to TablesM 7 and M 8 and cover the same industries. However, Ohio em-ployee data are available not only for 1929—37 but also for '9 '9—28(BLS Bulletin 553). The Ohio industries covered in each year,1919—29, are listed below for each industrial division. The dataas reported are monthly employment figures from which annualaverages are taken. The New York data are from the annualsurvey which covers office employees in October. The number ofwage earners for New York used here are the difference betweentotal employees and office employees.Cal. i Food and tobacco: interpolation of the ratio of salaried em-ployees to wage earners is by the ratio of salaried employees towage earners in Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio.

TABLE M 28

Entrepreneurs by Major Industrial Divisions

The entries for odd years, except 1931, are the sums of the numberof entrepreneurs from the Biennial Census of Manufactures andgrouped according to our classification. We assumed that thenumber was the same in 1938 as in 1937. Interpolation, unlessotherwise indicated, is by the number of failures reported in Dun'sReview annually, the assumption being that a decline in thenumber of entrepreneurs from Census year to Census year isdirectly proportional and an increase inversely proportional tofailures. The interpolating series for the various industrial divi-sions are as follows:Col. i Food and tobacco: failures in milling and bakers and liquorsand tobacco, 1919—35; in food and tobacco products, 1935—37.
