Percentage Of JobIess
Here Only Al Pct.;
Lower Than in 1889

Although the labor force in the
District is greater by 235, 900
persons than it was in 1889. the
per centage of unemployment
here during July was only Al per
cent as compared to 1870 per cent
10 years ago, the United States
Employment Service announced
today.
The agency said employment
levels in the District still are high,
but pointed out that the labor
supply has been enhanced greatly
by college graduates seeking jobs
in this area.
Unemployment in the District
during July neared the March
peak of more than 27,000 persons,
but, the employment service said,
some of this unemployment was
accounted for by the strikes in the
construction and bakery indus
tries.
Accepted Other Jobs.
Employment leveles in-those in
dustries were not affected as much
as would be expected during the
strikes, however, because many
workers apparently acceptly other
jobs during the work stoppages,
it was said.
The agency said college grad
yates were prominent" among
the present batch of job seekers in
the area. The job market, how
ever, is not as easy as it was up
until May, 1949. it was reported
About 5000 persons graduated
from area colleges this summer,
it was said. Although not all of
these graduates are seeking jobs
here, the applications are swelled
by graduates of colleges in other
areas who are seeking employ
ment here.
Won't Accept "Just Anything"
Despite the increasing scarcity
of jobs, the graduates do not seem
prone to accept Just anything, "
the report showed.
They intend to evaluate their
qualifications only in light of the
labor market as it existed
during and Immediately after
World War H." the report added.
The employment service pre-
dicted that 1850 graduates would
find the possibilities of job selec-
ton at a minimum.

Midd|eman Defended
By Food Wholesalers
On Price Drop Lag

A spokesman for the country's
wholesale fruit and vegetable dis
tributors today came to the de-
fense of the middleman in the
food industry.
Some members Of Congress and
others have been asking the ques-
ton why retail food prices are not
keeping pace with the decline in
prices received by farmers. The
answers frequently is because OF
the middleman.
The latest turn in the dispute
was prompted by an Agriculture
Department report this week, es-
timating that marketing charges
for the food served by the average
American family during 1948 in
creased by $13.
The department figures showed
an increase in marketing charges
from 1913 in January, 1948, tc
1926 in January of this year. The
family market basket floods nor
mally used by an average family
during the same period dropped
from $694 to $500. while the
farmers share of this food fell
from 1881 to 1894.

sumner Identifies him with market

secretary, of the National League
of Wholesale Fresh Fruit and
Vegetables Distributors, declared.
He said this is a "misconception
not supported by the facts"
If the distributors prof1t-all
100 per cent of it-were put back
into the family market basket or
the farmers pocket, the change in
size of either one, or both, would
be negligible" he said.
Mr.. Van Arnum noted that
labor costs for packaging, for
loading produce, for handling, for
containers and transportation, all
have increased materially in the
past year. Transportation charges
alone are up 40 per cent, he said.
