UUUd dUHIIULII KENNEY Usual Spring Relief Lacking; Condition Not Peculiar To Salem FLIGHT, TWENTY YEARS LATER Contrary to the usual situation as spring advances, the employ ment problem here is growing worse Instead of better, E. A. Ken ney, superintendent of the local U. S. employment service bureau, said yesterday. Practically every man who has ben calling at bis office lately is deserving of work, Kenney says, but to nearly all he has to give the monotonous story that Jobs are at a premium. More inquiries than ever for work are coming to the bureau here, one of four operated in the state by the federal government, with at least 50 per cent of the applicants from California. Many who seek work now are from tho eastern states. Added to the de mand from the southern and east ern groups Is that of Salem and Marfan county residents. The present condition is net peculiar to this section, says Ken ney, as reports from the other offices iu Oregon, from Califor nia and from the east show that there is a surprisingly large sur plus of labor all -over the country. Financial Conditions Held to Blame The financial condition of the country Is generally responsible for the labor situation, Kenney believes, although he adds the weather here has retarded work In the berry fields especially. Right now, the rocal office has between 300 and 400 men and women signed up for berry jobs which will not open until next Wednesday or Thursday. In his report for the week end ing yesterday, Mr. Kenney says that registration for strawberry pickers Is full and that there is still a big surplus of pickers. Work In the fields of Etterbergs will start about June 12. There are some calls for labor in hop yards, with three men for every job, and In nearly every line the labor bal ance Bhows a surplus. The past week. 82 men and 36 women registered for work; 104 calls for men anil 30 for women came to the office; 110 men and 30 women were referred to jobs; and 104 men and 30 women were placed. Of the 82 men seeking work, 41 were skilled laborers and 35 unskilled while six sought profes sional jobs; 75 employers wanted unskilled help. Seventy-nine of the 104 men placed were unskilled laborers. Of the 30 women placed, 25 went to industrial jobs and five to domestic; 25 of the 36 reg istered sought industrial jobs and five of the 30 of the employers wanted domestic help.
