transportation equipment (autos
and aircraft Whereas Ohio's
factory employment in November
was z per cent below the year-ago
figure of Ia million, the average
workweek was the same.
Chemicals surpassed November
1853 in employment, though most
Ohio factories have not yet
caught up. Furthest behind, per-
centagewise, are ordance, machine
tools, household machinery, iron
! and steel foundries. Outside of
manufacturing, employment by in
5terstate railroads in Ohio is down
sone-sixth. Department stores are
IL per cent below-as compared
with 3 per cent for all retailing.
Though fewer are working,
Those who have jobs get paid
more. In November 1853 produc-
Etion workers in Ohio factories av-
eraged S1.97 per hour. Last month
it was a nickel higher. If they
continue at present rates through
out 1855 they'll gross approximat-
ly $4,000 for the year.
Excluding supervisors and ex-
ecutives, gross hourly rates in
Ohio are highest in construction.
Workers in contract construction
averaged S2.79 per hour list
month. Soft-coal miners were Sec
ond, with S249. Steelworkers led
the factory scale, at 1924. Not far
behind, however, were the rubber
workers, autoworkers, producers
of household machinery, machine
tool and aircraft workers, and
those in printing and publishing
and chemicals.
Unemployment may also move
upward. Seasonal layoffs, in con-
struction and other industries, nor
mally increase the volume OF
claimants for unemployment conn
penSation at year-end. Last week
some 80 thousand Ohioans, un-
employed one week or longer
were claiming benefits. This com
pares with a year-ago level of 62
thousand. The rate of unemploy-
ment, among workers subject to
Ohio Unemployment Compensa-
ton Law, is between 3 and 4 per
cent.
Three hundred thousand is the
minimum of different Ohioans
who received one or more unem-
ployment checks in the first II
months of 1854. These checks av-
eraged $2965 per week of total
unemployment.

Ohio Expanding
BruceIlosis Test

Ohio is expanding its brucellosis
testing program rather than offer
ing indemnity payments with addi-
tional federal funds appropriated
last fall.
DR.. James Hay, chief of the Ohio
division of animal industry, and r,
r. Starbuck, Ohio State Univers-
ity extension dairy specialist, said
Ohio dairymen, breed association
representatives and county agents
from 43 Ohio counties recommend
ed that action. These men respond
ed to request to each Ohio coun-
ty for representative farmers to
advise on use of these funds,
All but three of those attending
asked that the funds be used to eX-
pand the present testing program.
Three farmers asked that part of
the funds be used for indemnity
and part for an expanded testing
program. No one advised using the
funds entirely for indemnity.
Hay said the division plans to
add 2 more portable laboratories
to speed the ring test program.
Fifty-five Ohio counties now have
a brucellosis testing program in
operation. Sixteen of these have
started within the past 2 years.
Before the additional federal
funds were made available, the di-
vision planned to have testing
program in all Ohio counties by
1858. Hay said this time will be
shortened now.
These additional federal funds
are available until June 80, 1856.
Hay expressed concern that the
Ohio testing program may lag

Ohio increased almost 80 million

Real estate taxes assessed this
year and personal property taxes
assessed last year were based on

BUC Pays Benefit
OF Silt Million

More than S117,O0O,000 was paid
out in benefits to unemployed
workers throughout Ohio in the
first eleven months of 1854, ac-
cording to a report made public
today by Ernest Cornell, admins
traitor of the Ohio Bureau of Un-
employment Compensation.
Cornell said that an average of
working day of the eleven-month
$518,000 had been paid out every
period, the money going where ii
was most needed-to bolster fam
lily purchasing power and thus help
maintain a better economic bal
ance throughout Ohio. 81. ....'
Seeking to share in this flow of
badly needed dollars were 693, ,544
newly unemployed workers. Those
who remained unemployed one
week or more filed a total of 4,
935, ,8O2 separate claims for as
many calender weeks of unemploy-
ment. Total benefits paid amount
ed to S117045, 1867.
Benefits payments in Ohio range
from $40 to $50 weekly with addi-
tional allowances for dependent
children up to $500 weekly The
average weekly benefit payment
for all claimants was S29.65. Those
with no dependents drew an aver
age payment of S27.78 while clai-
mants with dependents received an
average payment of $33.23, Cornell

again unless additional state funds
are available when the federal
grant expires.
Hay and Starbuck stated that
city health ordinances also, are
speeding brucellosis testing in the
state. Some Ohio cities have set
dates after which they will only
accept milk from herds which have
"clean" brucellosis test. Cleve-
land, for instance, has set 1857 as
the deadline.
Organized groups of livestock
farmers, such as dairy service un-
its, may request a countrywide
brucellosis test. When the division
of animal industry receives this re-
quest, Hay or one of his staff
meets with the county agricultural
extension agent and a committee
from the group requesting the test.
Together they plan for county
meetings to explain the testing
program.
After the meetings, petitions are
circulated. When 81 percent of the
cattle owners owning rs percent of
the cattle have signed, county is
ready for the countrywide test.
Hay said no Ohio county is
forced to have a county test. He
added that the basis of an effective
disease control program is willing
ness to cooperate and participate.

Recount Rules In
Ohio Explained
BY TED w. BROWN
Secretary of State of Ohio

With recounts in elections a SUBJ
ject Of much discussion, because of
the recent recount in 25 Ohio
counties of the u. S. senatorial
race, an examination of the safe
guards which have been fixed by
Ohio laws in such matters, protect
ing both candidates involved, is
timely.
Upon the filing of an applica-
ton for a recount, the Board must
fix time and place - not later
than 10 days after the filing of the
application. Both candidates must
be given written notice by regis
tered mail not later than the fifth
day prior to the beginning of the
recount.
Each person involved may at
tend the recount and may have an
attorney when he designates as his
legal counsel also to witness the
recount. However, in addition to
this protection provided by the
statutes, in the case of the Sena-
torial recount just completed, the
Secretary of State suggested and
the Board of Elections concurred
in allowing a witness for each can
didate at each of several tables
where ballots were being recount
ed simultaneously. This was an ad-
ditional safeguard for both sides
which seems to be warranted.
The Ohio laws are very clear in
stipulating that witnesses shall be
permitted to see the ballots but
they shall not be permitted to
touch them. Tallies may not be
made on other contests on the
same ballots-only the recounting
of votes in the race for which the
application was made.

Damages Ready
AT FHA Office

Farmers in Lincoln and CASTOR
counties whose crops were dam
aged by recent freeze can apply to
the Farmers Home Administration
for emergency loans to continue
operations, John ]. P. Mcleod,
said today.
Emergency loans may be made

operators who are primarily en-
gagged in farming, whose crops

farming operations. Loans are
scheduled for repayment over a
minimum period of time consis-
tent with the borrowers ability to
repay. Funds advanced for crop
production purposes are repayable
when the income from the sale of
the crops produced with the loans
is received.
Farmers should file their appli-
cations for emergency loans at the
county Farmers Home Admins
tration office located in the Court
House in Lincolnton, and at the
basement of the Post Office in
GaStonia. Loan funds may be US
ed to take care of normal expenses
of continued operation. but are not
to be used to pay existing debts.
