Srndll Labor Force
Harvesting OneOf
The Biggest Crops
Foreign Labor Working On

Washington, ID. G. ULNS). - The
smallest farm labor force on record l.
harvesting one of the biggest produc-
ton of full crops this country has ever
raised, the L. s. Department of Agri-
culture says.
Despite the utilization Of workers
from unusual sources, the number of
people working on farms Oct. ! was
slightly lower than at the same time
last year and > per cent less than the
1935-39 October average, when crop
production was much smaller than this
year Farm wage rates averaged Ii
per cent higher on Oct ! than for the
same date last year; the index of farm
labor supply remained unchanged and
the demand index declined l point.
OF the 11,S39,OOo persons working on
farms the first of October. S.92S,0O0 Or
75.4 per cent-the highest percentage
in more than decade-were unpaid
family workers. The decrease of g pei

October 1913 to October 1914 for the

with similar declines recorded month
ly throughout most of this year.
The Oct. l index of farm wages was
325 per cent of the 1904 average,
46 points or II per cent higher than
on Oct. l, 1943 and 100 points higher
than on Oct. 1, 1941 just before Pearl
Harbor. The Appoint rise from last
October was not so great as the 80
point rise made between Oct. /, 1912
and the same date in 1913 which was
the greatest increase ever recorded
within years time. All four classes
of farm wage payment rose about the
same III per cent? from Oct. /, 1913.
Foreign workers brought into the
to help on farms have. for the
most part, proved very satisfactory,
and it is probable that considerable
acreage of some crops have been saved

Restaurant Unions
Endedvor To Find
Jobs For Veterdr1s
Drdfts Plons For Setting Up
Central Agency To Aid
Service Men

New York City (ILNS). Deter
mined to spare returning veterans the
disillusioning job of hunting employ
ment following their discharge, the
Hotel and Restaurant Workers Joint
Board of Brooklyn has drafted a plan
for setting up central hiring hall TO
aid former service men and women
in their search for work.
The plan, still in it's formative stage,
is expected to spread to other trades,
which will be faced with similar
problem of job placements for mem
bers of their trades returning from
military service, the Trade Union
Courier comments.
In establishing such a system, the
joint board will enlist the aid of all
the affiliated local unions, which will
in turn canvass all employers in their
domain for openings which could be
filled by war veterans.
Z Another phase of the service to be
rendered will be the aid given return
ing veterans who, due to injuries in
Cured in action, find themselves un-
able to return to their former employ
ment status and must seek another
trade better suited to their abilities.
For these men, the new hiring hall ex-
poets to establish contact with other
agencies, also set up by unions if pos
sible, which have access to other
trades where such servicemen might
be employed. M

years. but the economist added that
probably the farms will be able to
support about as many people after the
return of peace as they did in 1910. =
Manufacturing employees have in
creased by well over so per cent in the
war years, and most of the newcomers
are making things not used In peace
time," he said. "The real fact is that
manufacturing will have to release
about 100000 after the war, and that
about half of them are now making
ships and airplanes."

When making socks for your

some of this thread in with
