Job Situation
Growing Brighter
In Union County
As Find Positions
During March After
Extremely Bad Winter

Unemployment in Union Coun-
ty has leveled off and finally
began to show a decrease, Carl
F. Rogers, manager of the I'm
ion County Office of the Ohio
State Employment Service,
stated today.
The break came after one of
the worst winters in the his
tory of the Employment Office
as the jobless reached record
breaking totals. Both claims
loads and the number of those
seeking employment have been
dropping since March /.
Employment was found for as
persons during the month of
March. This is a sharp gain
over the number of placements
during the winter months. This
made a total of SO persons
placed in employment during
January, February, and March,
Nh. Rogers stated. He added that
the compensation claims load
has fallen accordingly, to a fl
cure of 100 at the present time.
Extreme weather conditions
have been hampering some lines
of employment, making the re-
turn to work slow in these de-
partments, the local Employment
Office manager stated.
Picture Looks Good
"The local overall employ
ment picture looks good and the
employment situation is definite
ly on an upward trend,' MI.
Rogers added. There are also
many prospective job openings
here.
Total of 400 persons were
placed in employment during
1949 by the local Ohio Employ
ment office Mr.. Rogers added.
He quoted figures released by
the Bureau of Research and
Statistics in Columbus.
The huge total of 1866 per-
sons sought employment through
the local office during 1949. The
placements averaged 80 per
month here with the large ma
jority of them being in non
manufacturing jobs.
1872 In Manufacturing
OF the total placements, 1913
were men, 141 were women. One
hundred-Seven veterans were
placed in employment as were
six handicapped persons.
The non-manufacturing class
accounted for 200 of the 1859
jobs with 1872 in manufacturing,
and 1913 in agriculture. Of the
non-agricultural placements, one
was professional and one was in
a managerial position. Unskilled
labor accounted for 1873 of the
341 non-agricultural jobs. Skilled
labor accounted for only II job
openings.

Labor Political Action
Threatens Two-Party
Setup, Chamber Says

Political activity by organized
labor has become so intense that
1t is a constant threat to the sta
bility which has characterized our
two-party system" the United
States Chamber of Commerce de-
clared today.
In 39-page pamphlet entitled
Labor in Politics." the chamber
warns that organized labor may
actually capture and use for its
own purposes one of the major
political parties" There is al
ways the danger" that labor may
become powerful third party,
the chamber added.
Whether business can continue
In this country, unless it and its
friends deal effectively with po-
litical issues all the way from the
grass roots to the national level
is a serious question" the pam
phlet continues.
"The American public may well
ask itself, Shall the labor bloc be
allowed by default to dominate
American politics?'"
Forces outside labor have no
counterpart to the CIO Political
Action Committee or the AFI's
League for Political Education,
the pamphlet contends.
The pamphlet, prepared by the
national chambers Employer
Employe Labor Relations Com
mittee, traces organized labor's
participation in American poll
tics from the first STRINGS of the
labor movement during the early
years Of the 10th century to the
present.

ARR MAKING PLANS TO HANDLE ALL FREIGHT DURING BREAKUP

Alaska Railroad officials this week announced that they were attempting to make plans for the handling of truck-hauled material, during the period of breakup when trucks will be barred from the paved sections of the Anchor age-Palner highway.
 In order that schedules may be worked out to best suit the needs of Palmer shippers, it is requested that anyone who will need to make large-scale shipments from Palmer to Anchorage notify the office of the railroads traffic de- partment in Anchorage.
 A spokesman said that every effort would be made to plan a schedule that would most effect fEely meet the needs of all Palmer shippers. Shipments routed from Anchorage to Palmer can be handled on the regular train serv- ice out of Anchorage, it vas pointed out.

N0 Contract Yet
 Signed by HospiatI And Preshyterians

Although members of the board of directors of the Valley Hospital Association met with Dr. L. o. Jackman of the Presbyterian na- tional board of missions last Sat urday, no formal contract has been completed for the manage ment of the Valley Hospital. Dr. Jackman and board members dis cussed the three points of differ ence, advanced at the annual meeting of Hospital stockholders. in the tentative agreement offered by the Presbyterian group.
 pr. Jackman felt that the na- tional board would be only too happy to comply with the stipula- tion that local nurses be hired, when qualified personnel live in the community and wish hospital employment. However, the or ganization will require that only graduate nurses be employed on the hospital staff.
 With reference to the change of name, asked by the Presbyterian board, it was stated that it seemed only fair that the sponsoring or ganization, providing the funds for hospital operation, be given credit in the hospital name Mem bers of the Associations member ship had voiced objection to changing the present name of the institution.

HIGHWAY CLOSING IS NOW DEPENDENT ON ROAD STRENGTH

There is still no further word with regard to the expected clos ure of the Palmer Anchorage highway to truck traffic during the coming breakup, Highway Patrolman Stanley Laird an- nounced today. He speculated that it was entirely possible that no restrictions would be imposed. should the present mild breakup conditions continue. -:
 The patrolman said that Alaska Road Commission engineers were making daily tests on the paved section. No action will be taken until they feel that traffic over the highway Is definitely detri- mental to the surfacing.
 One unofficial report last week stated that the first restriction imposed would be load limita- ton only. The report stated that 10-ton gross load limit would be allowed, in the Beginning, with restrictions becoming more rigid if the highway showed signs of
