Manufacturers, especially those

Prices have reached the point

Help Wanted Ads Cited.

Advertisements for help in De-
troit papers looked somewhat like
the days of peak war activity. This
despite the fact that hundreds of
thousands of persons swarmed into
Detroit war plants from all parts of
the country and apparently few of
them have left. Total employment
Is well above prewar levels and
quite bit under the wartime peak.
Paradoxically, the number drawing
unemployment benefits is unusually
high-67 900 in the Detroit area
alone.
One reason for the shortage is
that far less women are working
than during the war either because
they don't want to or employers con-
slider them unsuited for the jobs.
United Auto Workers officials say
there is labor shortage" because
of refusal of manufacturers to en-
ploy Negroes and women. Employ
ers say there just are not enough
jobs suitable for women in an auto
mobile plant as there were in war
production establishments.
There was evidence that Negroes
were not being used as extensively
as possible. A top official of an auto
mobile company, who complained of
lack Of manpower, said he could
hire plenty of colored men but didn t
because he would encounter race
trouble II the proportion got too
high.
Manpower Is Problem.
Nevertheless, it was obvious that
manpower already is serious in
dustrial problem and is likely to
become an acute one. Government
statistics place the Nations employ
ment at about 60.000,0O0, including
the 2,500,000 in the armed forces.
Economists say that, for a healthy
flow of labor, unemployment must
not drop below 5000, ,000-they call
it "frictional" unemployment. There
were 2,270,000 unemployed in July.
Estimates Of the future needs of
general industry, construction and
service trades range up to 1000, 600.
The output Of our factories al
ready has been considerable, except
possibly of automobiles, although
you would never know it from visit
to your electric appliance dealer.
This is true despite the great wave
|of wage-price strikes and all the
other encumberances attending a
changeover from total war produc-
ton.
The current production trend Is
very promising with new postwar
and all-time highs being reached

British Government
Finds Few Dark Spots
I'm Labor Relations
BY the Associuted prsxx


LONDON, Aug. 24.-A British
government dominated by men who
have punched time clocks them
selves scanned the nations labor
relations picture today and found
it bright on the whole, with a few
/. dark patches.
While there were no major strikes
such as the United States expert
enced in the coal, steel, automotive,
electric and railroad industries
there were in the first six months
of this year 1,173 work stoppages,
costing 1,166, 900 man-days.
Reporting these figures, the Min
lister of Labor noted that the aver
age number of workers involved
was fewer than $50. Most OF the
strikes were wildcat" with union
leaders. often closely afnliated with
the Labor party, joining employers
IN trying to stop them.
London Goes without Milk.
A typical example was the strike
of plant workers that caused nearly
a million London suburbanites to
go without milk this week end. Ask
ing $24 for a 40-hour week, the men
stayed out despite union condemna-
ton of their stand as 'irrespon-
sible."
All told, 287 200 workers had been
on strike at one time or another
from January to June-fewer than
the number involved in the Ameri-
can soft-coal strike alone. OF them,
225,600 were In the key engineering,
iron and steel, coal mining and
shipbuilding industries.
Most of these disputes were set
tied quickly and caused no such
public inconvenience as did strikes
by dock workers, meat handlers,
Ulster bank workers and bread de-
liverymen, and London gas workers
who twice returned the capital to
wartime dimout conditions.
Despite the strikes, industrial pro-
duction scared and Britain's exports
for July reached the postwar record
figure Of 1857, soc, ,0O0-20 per cent
above the 1888 monthly average but
still SIS per cent short OF the Gov-
ernment's goal.
Many Refuse to Stay at Work.
Friends of the Labor government
saw in these figures an indication
that. the working man was respond
ing Fundamentally to pleas for
higher production, even though his
wages were not keeping pace with
the sky-high costs Of all but the
bare necessities.
But critics noted that large num-
bers Of workers were ignoring the
stay-at-work advice OF their union
leaders and asked what hold the
unions would have on their mem
bers when the major industries are
nationalized and millions work for
the government"
The chronically ailing coal mines,
soon to become the first nationalized
industry. seemed likely to provide
an answer. As many factories con-
verted from coal to Oil, the Fuel
Ministry predicted tight squeeze
this winter If no strikes occur
and God help u.s. said one official
if there are strikes.
