JOBS GIVEN MANY HEROES Emplo) mem on Eastern Oregon Ranches Offered at Wages Above $0 a Month and Board. In the last four months the number of unemployed men in Portland has de creased from i:.t)0 to SOOO. and there is no longer danger of violence at the kands of the bolshevik element, accord Ins to Wilfred Smith, state superin tendent of the United States employ ment bureau. The Improvement In labor conditions Is due principally to the demand in Btcel shipyards for bolter-up laborers and the number of calls being received daily for farm and road workers. There is a possibility that the de mand for men in the steel shipyards mar fall off by July 1. but If the pres ent Mtuation continues and the build Irsr programme to be placed before the voters June 3 is approved, there will be work for every person in Oregon, according to Mr. Smith. Labor Shortage Not Feared. "It may be many months before there will be enough work for every man in his own profession. eaid Air. Smith. ''Even if the building programme is Voted there should be no fear of i scarcity of workers because the ma Jority of overseas men are yet to be mustered out.
