Labor Cutbacks
Are Expected
Albany Oregon faces a
grave problem in the form of an
anticipated army of 100,000 to
160,000 workers who will be
released from war industries in
the Columbia river area when
demand for war production
ceases, and already cut-backs
in shipyard orders are producing
labor surpluses in the immediate
vicinity of the Columbia ports,
L. C. Stoll, state manpower di
rector told an audience of near
ly 100 at the Albany Hotel,
nesday.
The Albany Chamber of Com
merce sponsored Mr. Stoll's
talk, but his audience included
sizeable delegations from Cor
vallis and Lebanon.
Stoll warned that further cut
backs are inevitable, and that
a recession of government or
ders for lumber, particularly,
will be felt soon, and he pre
dicted that by next September
or by the first of next year at
the latest, persons returning
from war industry areas as well
as from the armed services will
provide both agriculture and in
dustry in Corvallis, Albany and
Lebanon with an ample supply
of labor.
The state manpower director
asserted that in his opinion the
best policy to pursue when the
big shut-down of war industries
comes is to permit the jobless
to subsist on unemployment
compensation until such time as
private industry can readjust
itself or expand sufficiently to
provide the necessary employ
ment. . 1
