Industry May Have 10 Help
Alcoholics, Yale Man Says
By the Asseeiatsd Press

CHICAGO. Sept. IA sociolo-
gist said yesterday that industry
may be forced by manpower short
age this year to help alcoholics.
Robert Straus, a researcher at
Yale University's Center of Alco-
.holic Studies, told the American
Sociological Society:
THE manpower crisis of 1851
may we'll prove to be a turning
point with respect to a general
recognition of the problem drinker
on the part of industry at large. :"
Mr.. Straus recounted that the
usual course of an alcoholic work.
er in the past has been progressive
Iineflciency and abSenteeiSm,
usually hidden by friendly fellow
employees and supervisors until
the victim lost self control and
was fired.
A recent study, he said, deter
mined that nine industries in one
Southern town lost 5,400 man
hours annually from problem
drinkers.
Mr.. Straus said the problem is
becoming acute in industry be-
cause I'm times of manpower
shortage, industry is forced to en-
iploy so-called marginal workers.

these groups are heavily weighted

Until the end of World War II,
this area was q sphere of British
