Employment Takes
Decided Upswing

Unemployment in upper Flat
head county virtually was cut in
MALT this week as the result OF
improved weather conditions.
The late spring has delayed log
glng and building activities.
Frank Kirkpatrick, state en-
ployment office manager, Colum-
bla Falls, estimates that 200 men
went back to work during the
past week.
R and S construction connanv
who have the $4O8,32O clearing
contract at and near the dam
Site increased their crew from
95 to "a, though soggy woods con-
dltlons continue to hamper their
operations.
General Shea Morrison, Hun
cry Horse prime contractors,
have hired 25 men for clearing
their campsite, and will put on
another 25 men this coming week.
& and F(F and s. construc-
ton company are completing the
3.9-mile access road 70 the dam
site, employing 10 men. This is
a S479,494 contract finished last
fall except for oiling and guard
rails.
A week with no rain will also
result in about 200 additional
men going to work in the various
lumber and logging operations.
Stoltze Land and Lumber now
employ rs men at their Half
Moon mill, and hope to start
woods crews as soon as logging
roads are dry enough. They will
then employ up to 120.
The wet weather is also ham,
pering smaller logging companies
as back roads are still near i'm
passable..

pany payrolls have cropped to alb
out SO from an April peak of IA.
Also hiring men for road and
trail crews have been Glacier ma
tional park and the Flathead ma
tional forest, though their large
scale hiring comes in June.
Private building is also result
ing in men going to work, but
there are still carpenters and
painters with no jobs. There is
an apparent shortage of plumb
ers.
Housing is a serious problem
to men coming into the area; some
men with afmilies have come i'll
and left, for inability to find d
place to live.
There will be a general overall
labor surplus in the Flathad I'm
til at least late June.

To Erect Temporary
Buildings Next Week

General Shea Morrison, prime
contractors for Hungry Horse, the
worlds fourth largest concrete
dam, will begin construction of
their first buildings this coming
week.
Starting last Tuesday, they be-
gan clearing campsite near Hun
cry Horse village on 40 acres of
government land. Contrary to ru-
NOR they have not bought any
privately owned property.
The clearing this week employ
ed about 25 men, and an additional
25 will be hired this coming week.
Placements for the most part are
handled through the state employ
ment office, Columbia Falls.
The employment picture is
gradual increase to a peak of GOO
men on the job in September, and
then next year after July 1 ris-
ing to $500. The award calls for
completion of the S43,431 900 con-
tract in 1000 days. Total cost of
the project is S10O,O0O,0OO.
Unofficial word is that the COR
tractor is working in harmony
with local unions, who have es-
tablished two offices in Martin
City. Common wage scale in the
area is S1.25 an hour. A confer
ence between General-Shea-M Nor
rison and union officials is to be
held in Seattle Monday.
First building erected by the
contractor will be a temporary
tool shed. Started late this month
or early in June will be a one
story main office building, and
dormitories housing from rs to
$50 men. There will be a small
err women's dormitory, and later
residences and other structures.
1t has been learned that the
Great Northern railway is build
ing an unloading spur at Coram,
and a small warehouse will be
constructed. 1t appears that Cor
am is also the logical unloading
station for the approximately TO-
900 freight carloads of cement
needed to build the dam; cement
deliveries are scheduled to start
next year, and are being furnished
under separate contracts made by
the bureau of reclamation. Co
lumbia Falls will also participate
in shipments made to the DAM
1t is still not determined wheth-
err the approximately 100000
cubic yards of gravef and sand
will come from near Hungry
Horse creek or from the Column
bia Falls side of Bad Rock can
yon.
Temporary offices of General
SheaMorrison are in prefab 1S5,
Hungry Horse village where R.
H. Savage, paymaster, is temper
arily in charge. Purchasing cen
ter for the company, which rep
resents IL contractors, is in the
Webster-Brinkley building, Post
Office box 1928, Seattle IA. The
Seattle office will be occupied I'M
til the offices at Hungry Horse
are completed
