I 1 NAME 1 ADDRESS k CITY PHONE that at the end of July about 1.100 persons in the county were affect ed directly by the strikes. Two hundred fifty, he said, returned to work durinir the month. The figure since has been re duced to about 910 (during the early days of this month. The strike has had a fringe ef fect on smaller mills in the coun ty. They have been taking advan tage of higher lumber prices to in crease production by working as many hors as possible. Aside from the mills involved In the labor disputes, Foster said, the Roaeburg area apparently is at its peak for employment at . the present time. ; Business Conditions Slow He explained: Business condi tions are slow, which has resulted in fewer person being employed. The bean harvest is in full swin? and no serious troubles in secur ing pickers has been encountered as yet. The majority of the open ings that become available from time to time are of replacement in nature rather that new jobs. Foster fiakl retail and wholesale trade has felt the effects of in come losses. He said the fact has been indicated from employers to the field. The effect may b prolonged. Foster foresees far - reaching eco nomic consequence in the in ability of some lumber firms to cold deck enough logs for a full winter's consumption. The total of unemployed persons !n the county didn't increase dur ing Jly, Foster related. Esti mates of the number of unemploy ed, which included those on strike, dropped about 20 per cent from June. Unemployment Above 195 Exclusive of those involved in labor disputes, the unemployed totals are about 70 per cent high er man tor toe same period last year. This condition Foster attri- buted largely to the beginning of a new unemployment ncnent year and the slowdown of business con ditions resulting from the strike. inose looicing for jobs, said the employment manager, will find available job openings are stead ily decreasinz in number as the lumber strike is prolonged. When the matter is settled, the general belief is that many jobs will be come available, tie explained. At the present time, there is a demand for bean pickers and a few openings in semi-skilled oc cupations in the construction and lumber industries. The bean harvest will be follo'v ed by the picking of pears, prunes ana walnuts, but those activities won't require a large number of workers to get the job done. POLICE GUARD PLANTS FRANKFURT, Germany Wl Armed police patrolled Bavaria's biggest factories Tuesday as a strike involving 220,000 metal workers crippled .production for the second straight day. Reserve Officers Free Insurance Given Approval WASHINGTON (41 The Senate passed and sent to the White House Wednesday a bill under which reserve officers of the Ar my, Navy and Air Force would be covered by $10,000 free insur ance .while on active duty for 14 days or more.
