Re-empIo emf
Rights For Vets
Are Unchanged

Washington, ID. C. QLNS).-
The Joint Resolution passed by
Congress terminating the war and
the national emergency declared by
the President Sept. 8, 1889, and
May 27, 1910, does not affect the
unemployment rights of former
servicemen and women, nor of
those now enlisting in the armed
services, Robert X. Salyers, direct
or of the Veterans Unemployment
Rights Division, U. S. Department
of Labor, said here.
The resolution, which became
Public Law 239 after it was signed
by President Truman, terminated
as Of July 25, 1947, the war and
the national emergency proclama-
tions issued by President Roose-
welt Sept. 8,1939, and May 7, 1910,
insofar as they applied to specific
statutes listed in the resolution.
Provisions for the unemployment
rights of veterans were not among
the statutes listed in the resolu-
tion.
81 think it well to emphasize"
Salyers said, "that unemployment
rights provided by these statutes
exist not by virtue of a state of
war or national emergency as such,
but rather until specifically revok-
ed by Concurrent Resolution of
Congress. This has not yet taken
place. Accordingly, until such re-
is passed, persons who en-
ter the armed services are entitled
to unemployment rights if they
meet the eligibility requirements"
Salyers pointed out, however,
that under the Concurrent Resolu-
ton passed by Congress and which
is now Public Law 239, persons
the Merchant Marine aft
ar July 25, 1947, are not entitled to
such unemployment rights.

Consumers Prices
Hit New Peak For
Mid Moy And June

Washington, D. C.-Retail prices
of living essentials purchased by
income families in large
cities rose or percent between
mid May and mid-June according
to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics,
u. S. Department of Labor.
Prices advanced for all major
groups of items in the family bud
get except rents and fuel, electric
ity and ice.
Retail prices of living essentials
in mid-June were 18 percent higher
than year ago, and SO percent
above the August 1889 levek
Higher prices for meats and 2
percent seasonal rise in egg prices
were mainly responsible for the in
crease of 1.5 percent in the family
food bill between May Is and June
10.
Meats, poultry and fish as a
group advanced more than 6 per-
cent during the month. On June Is,
meats in all cities surveyed were
retailing at higher average prices
than in mid-May.
The largest increases were for
beef and veal, up 10 percent; lamb,
8 percent; and pork, S percent.
These increases were partially off
set by q drop of 6 percent in aver
age prices of fats and oils and the
sharpest monthly drop in coffee
prices (down a percent) in more
than 10 years.
Fruit and vegetable prices de-
clined / percent during the month
with slightly lower prices for al
most all items, fresh, canned, and
dried. Fractional increases were
reported in prices for cereals and
bakery products and sugar and
sweets. Dairy products as a group
remained unchanged.
Apparel prices in large cities
rose 0.4 percent between mid May
and mid-June. Prices of footwear
advanced during the month. Nylon
and rayon hosiery prices dropped
in practically all cities in June.

JOBS IN JULY
AT ALLTI N E
PEAK FOR u. s.

Washington (LPA) = The post
war recession has again been post
poned, Director Evan Clague of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics told
reporters last week. He announced
that employment in July continued
over the 60,000,0O0 mark for the
second successive month.
Clague emphasized that even if
exports fall off, there is domestic
demand for goods to fill the gap.
There are 42,137,000 workers en-
gagged in non-agricultural employ
ment at the present time. Five out
of every 100 of these workers are
producing directly or Indirectly for
the export market which is larg-
er proportion than it was in 1889.
Questioned as to the Importance of
the Marshall plan to keeping full
employment, Clague pointed out
that exports are exceeding imports
so that some form of loan abroad
will have to be granted.
Unemployment has fallen below
the early summer high of 100000
and there is every indication that
this trend will continue through
the fall as industries with season.
al drops get back into full swing.
More workers are getting paid
vacations than ever before; there
were 3h million on vacation in
early July. Some people who had
not enough seniority to qualify for
vacations were forced off the pay
roll temporarily because plants shut
down during vacation time.
Nevertheless, there are five in
dustries in which noticeable de-
clines have occurred. They are:
machine tools, radios, aluminium
manufactures, furniture, and rub
ber tires and tubes. The drop in
radio production is due partly to
the change over to FM which some
factories are now undergoing; ma
chine tools too are in a preparatory
stage.
The construction industry is
booming with $4,000 dwelling units
started in July and 100000 en-
ployed in housing production, a
high for this year. Since rent con-
trolls were lifted, builders have
shifted from home construction to
a larger volume of apartment
buildings. Clague indicated that
builders apparently expect to get
high rents for the new apartments
when they are finished any time
from November on. Thus the in
crease of activity in this field, will
not necessarily mean homes at |
rents the average family can pay.
Clague reported that weekly |
fell from $49.37 in June
to $49.25 in July. Hours fell from
1913 to 1919 per week but average
hourly earnings were up from
SI.227 in June to 1924 in July.
