The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-04-05
By RALPH FRIEDMAN

If you live in Chicago you are
ant to think that there are jobs in
Caifornia-or any place else. You
only have to look at the want ads
in the Chicago papers to know
that there are jobs available IN
this city.
And maybe YOU say to your
self. if there are jobs here there
must be jobs all over. After all.
since when has Chicago been
the mecca of prosperity?
Believe it or not, Chicago is an
exception. The west coast, fol-
example, has very little employ
ment. The big wartime aircraft

Chicago diary:
So YOU think there are jobs

home pay you go into the hole in
hurry. And lots of these jobs
pay less than that.
When l left Fresno last month
there were more than seven
thousand people drawing unem-
ployment insurance. The total
population of the county is less
than three hundred thousand.
Fresno is seasonal for employ
ment, and in the autumn, at the
peak of the year, the wineries and
packing sheds are full blast. But
last year there was unemploy-
ment even during this period.
About the only consistent job
vacant was contemplating Cot
ton picking is on per pound
basis and unless you've picked
for years you won't make enough
money to buy yourself pair of
cotton stockings.
WORKED in the post office at
Christmas time and found that
many of the other substitutes were
vets looking for permanent en-
ployment. This situation, learned
later, was true of towns and cities
throughout the state.
California was a war boon.
state. Aircraft and steel in the
south, shipbuilding in the north
and military installations every
where you turned. But the war
industries are way down and the
military installations are mostly
occupied by jackrabbits now.
There has been no reconversion
where war industry let off, with
the result that paychecks have
stopped and people have dipped
deep into their savings accounts
and withdrawn their war bonds.
ABOUT six months ago we used
to say in California: "The only
steady vacancies are for typists,
mattresses, and dishwashers. At
the turn of the year we cut out
the typist category, office work
ers were taking their places in
the employment wanted lines.
There seems to be surplus of
dishwashers. TOO. by now. and
the only occupation still open
is hash-slinging. Why there is
such a large turnover of wait
resses is beyond me. but it's
fact.
If you haven't got connections
and they'd better be good-Cali-
fornia has no place for you to live
and no employment. We've got a
lot of sunshine and beautiful
scenery, but maybe you're one
of those people who needs more
than that to exist on.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. p-
Cotton futures were strong dur
ing the entire session today with
the exception of the last three
minutes, when an avalanche of sell
ling orders came into the ring.
Final prices were $1.85 to $2.65
a bale higher.
Trade and commission house
buyers were forced to advance
their buying limits during the
session as there was a scarcity
of contracts. Most of the selling
was attributed to the fact that
hedge pressure SO far this season
has been light.
Producers were said to be hold
ing their cotton for higher prices
and in the event they were in
need of funds they would obtain
bank loans.
Some of the buying also was
predicated on fears chat if the
present hurricane moving up
from the South hits inland 1t
would cause considerable damage
to cotton along the Atlantic coast.
The late selling movement was
generally ascribed to profit TAX
ing which may have touched Oh
