WESTERN STEEL UNCERTAIN

WESTERN STEEL UNCERTAIN
San Francisco, Oct. PAP
There has been considerable hula
baloo UP and down the Pacific Coast
in the last few days about estab-
fishing a strong steel industry in
the West, but talks with a dozen
industrialists have established a
number OF uncertainties.
Most OF the business men were
bullish on western steel. They
conceded at the same time. how
ever, that several difficulties will
have to be dissolved, including
sources OF coal, whether existing
ore supplies, consuming capacity OF
the western area and production
costs.

Employment
Shows.Gaiin


Gordon Packard. manager Of the
United States Employment Service,
stated today that AIS people are
employed in Ypsilantis industries.
This allows 70 rthe fact that only
about a hundred have been called
back at the Ford Generator Plant
and that Motor state Products Co.
have not started to call back men.
In another two weeks these figures
should show approximately 5000.
We have no idea what the
Kaiser.FraEer requirements will
be-" said Mr.. Packard. "Unemploy-
ed as OF the week end was 1926 Of
which 917 are women. We expect
to have a conference In the near
future on the employment prob
lem, SO called. We are inclined to
believe that there Is a tendency
to revert to pre-war standards for
employment"
One OF the questions to be asked
Ia AT what age is q man or woman
unemployable, IS, so or 55!- Ex-
perience during the war has prov, 4
that while the younger man my
have more pep" and energy, he u
not as likely to be steady. Older
employees are not only steadier, but
they are usually more dependable.
When Kaiser-Frazer come into
this market, there 10 likely to be b
definite scarcity" in the opinion OF
Mr.. Packard. Meanwhile, Ypsi-
lanti employment is well ahead OF
normal employment Of $500 before
the war.
