BY THOMAS HAGENBUCH
Press Financial Editor


LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27.-The
aircraft industry, which developed
Sc fast under the spur of war thai
it wasn't bothered with growing
pains, is beginning to realize that
the transition from war to peace
will be a tougher job.
/ The problem will not be pure
reconversion, but how to shrink an
industry which ballooned from
S125, 100000 worth of business in
1888 to an estimated $40, 0O0,0 900, 90
this year.
At the moment however, the in
dustry is engrossed with the task
of keeping workers on the job.
Hundreds are quitting each week
to 60 back to the jobs they held
in peacetime
The feeling seems to be that,
with the end of war in Europe,
there will be wholesale curtail-
ment in airplane building and a
consequent reduction in jobs.
Aircraft manufacturers are al
most unanimous in saying that this
is untrue. While there undoubted-
ly will be production cutbacks as
the war progresses, the aircraft
people expect their military plane
program to be on a large scale
until the very end of the war with
Japan.
The situation is made even more
critical because many of those who
are leaving the airplane plants are
skilled craftsmen. 1t hasn't been
easy to get good mechanics in the
last few months, say the produc-
ton men, and they are beginning
to wonder whether they will be
able to hold to the schedules set
for them if the trend away from
the industry continues.
Looking ahead to the final vic
tory, more than two million per-
sons were employed in airplane
plants when the industry reached
its peak early this year; even if
one-fourth of these workers leave
their jobs before the war with ia
pan ends, there still will remain
many thousands more than will be
reeded for peacetime production.
What to do with these surplus
workers will be problem and no.
where more so than in the huge
plants here on the Pacific coast
which had great influx of work.
ers from other parts of the country
at the start of the war.
The question OF woman's place
in postwar industry is also sharply
accentuated in the aircraft facto-
res. In some plants more than
half the employees are women.
Many of these will want to remain
in industry after the war. In one
plant, a survey found that approx
imately 6 per cent of its women
workers wanted to continue in air
craft work. g. 80 'ee'
Aircraft men are concerned also
about the termination of contracts

Big Plane Industry
Faces Labor Surplus

when the war with Japan ends
Such Examinations have been fairly
easy in most cases because the
procurement agencies have b e r
able to give the manufacturers suf.
ficient notice so that they can ia.
per off production gradually. But
when the Japanese war ends, there
is bound to be quick termination
of contracts and then the problem
of settlements will arise.
While contract termination is a
highly complicated procedure, the
principal problem, broadly speak
ing, is tied up with the surplus
materials a manufa cturer has on
hand when production stops.
Before plane is put into pro-
duction, the manufa cturer goes to
hundreds and perhaps thousands OF
sub-contractors and suppliers for
material and parts which start
flowing into the plant months
ahead of time.
When production stops suddenly
there is a vast amount of surplus
material in the plant for which
the manufacturer and the sub-con-
tractors in turn want to be paid.
A great deal Of accounting and
bookkeeping complexities the pro-
cedure of settlement and If red
tape holds up payment there is a
tie-up all along the line. Once a
settlement is made, h surplus
material can be moved out of the
way and production on new line
started.
To speed settlement Of contracts
the aircraft manufacturers h v e
proposed termination teams"
each composed of procurement Of
ficers and company representa-
tives who could sit down together
and negotiate settlement without
too much delay. The government
is understood to lean favorably to
the idea.
Another item which will be up
for consideration when the war
ends is the use of tools and ma
chinery owned by the government
now in the aircraft plants. If the
government will sell or lease the
machinery to the manufacturers it
will ease the switch to peacetime
production. Otherwise the airplane
makers will have to tear out their
present machines and replace
them with new ones.
Nobody knows what's going to
happen to the many government
built aircraft plants after the war.
Some of them, like Consolidated
Vultee's Fort Worth plant, are de-
signed for making nothing but air.
planes. Others could be converted
to other uses. But it's a sure thing
that the aircraft industry cannot
begin to make use of all the sur.
plus plants even if the government
should make them available.
It has been suggested that the
government operate some of the
plants to make military planes. On
that score, Eugene W. Wilson, vice
chairman of the United Aircraft
Corp, and chairman of the Aero
nautical Chamber of Commerce,
says:
If surplus plants are used in
competition with private industry,
then we are finished"
