Film Scarcity Here
Blamed on SHORTAGE
OF Woman Workers

A shortage Of skilled women
workers to wrap and pack film is
handicapping efforts Of Photographic
fllm manufacturers to catch up with
the huge pent-up civilian demand
Tor their products.
This labor problem was cited by
District dealers as a major factor
in the acute shortage of Aim here
and was confirmed by a Civilian
Production Administration expert.
1t was explained film manufac-
turers have long preferred women
for certain jobs requiring speed and
dexterity. Since the wars end, how
ever, they have been unable to in
terest sufficient women workers.
Factors Are Cited.
Discontinuance Of around the
clock production with attendant
overtime pay and postwar domestic
adjustments, has moved many
women to give up their Jobs, it
was said.
A leading manufacturer would
hire 1000 women Immediately If
they could be interested, the CPA
expert said.
The Aim shortage in the District
has been particularly serious in re-
cent weeks in respect to cut film.
Newspapers and other commercial
users in some cases have been re-
duced to their last package OF
negatives.
Returns to 48-Hour Week.
One dealer said his supplier had
returned to a 48-hour week after
cutting to 40 hours few months
ago and.had indicated he might ex-
pect some improvement in the situ-
alton by May or June.
The CPA took gloomy view, par
ticularly as to roll films, however.
People are buying film like mad"

ration it they buy one roll in store,
