Babson Discusses Fall Outlook Bf Roger W. Babson New York, N. Y., Oct. 19 (Special Correspondence) I am sure that the newspapers have much more grief than the situa tion warrants. Naturally, the thinking people are upset by the itrike stories, but these strikes may be more psychological com tog as a reaction from the war rather than merely economic. The plants that I have visited how good progress toward re conversion.

YICKSVA-TR9I28L more confidence in their Con gress and President than they have had for a long time. The situation looks good. Thirteen Forecasts Mad For Post-war Future. GENERAL BUSINESS: Good as long as the people's money holds out which should be for two or three years. Certainly, there is nothing to worry about. , LABOR DEMANDS: Raises of from 10 to 15 in basic wages with possibly a 35-hour week in certain industries which now have no over-time pay. Certainly, retailers should favor this. EMPLOYMENT: If women re turn to their homes and those over 65 cease work and all un der 18 go back to school, there need be no unemployment. AGRICULTURE: 1945 and 1946 should be good years for farmers; but after this both de mand for agricultural products and the prices therefor will de cline. NEW BUILDING: If prices are held in line, there should be a great boom in new building, especially in the suburban areas. RETAIL SALES: These will continue high with a record- WOMEN!

LEGISLATION: Conditions in Washington are getting better every day. President Truman thus far has the confidence of all groups including the perse cuted utilities. COMMODITY PRICES: With the vast supply of idle capital, commodities with a few excep tions will surely rise in price. This especially applies to manu factured goods. HEAL ESTATE: Small farms and suburban land will sell high er in 1946; but big farms and most city property are now sell ing at top prices. BONDS. NON-TAXABLES: These are selling too high. With the coming cut in Federal taxes, the demand for such bonds will surelv fall off. STOCK MARKETS: Railroad stocks will decline further, but many industrials will sell much higher especially the merchan dising and chemical stocks. FOREIGN TRADE: This should be good for awhile; but before long competition from China, Russia and other Euro pean countries will be very se vere. Either our labor leaders must change their attitudes or we are licked. WORLD PEACE: The atomic bomb may really crystalize the United Nations into a workable world organization which may bring peace for 50 years. This fact aided by the profits which the U. S. will get from the atomic energy monopoly may enable the Federal debt to be paid off. 10,000,000 Unemployed Thought Possible by 1950 Now let us look ahead to about 1950, or after. 1. Competition from cheap foreign labor will be pressing us from the right. 2. Organized domestic labor will be striking us from the left. 3. A situation will arrive when people have spent their excess money, and will again be thrifty. 4. All the above may mean 10,000,000 unemployed around 1950. Will this cause social up rising?

Andrews, director of the Oregon State Apprenticeship Council met with Chamber of Commerce representatives ' and members of the Central Labor Committee yesterday in the in terest of the apprenticeship pro gram. Winston D. Purvlne, su pervisor of the state vocational education program, is accom panying Andrews on his tour of the state. The apprenticeship program Is to provide on-the-job training in the skilled crafts for youths. It is governed by a nine-man board consisting of three state officials and three employer representa tives and three employee repre sentatives, appointed by the gov ernor. Each locality has Its own apprenticeship council. Stanley Jones is chairman of the Medford council, Harvey Field and Charles Adair are employer rep resentatives, Maynard Bush and E. H. Thomas represent labor, and L. A. Mentzer, vocational coordinator at Medford high school, is secretary. C. W. Crary is a member of the state council. Night School Because on-the-job training necessarily has to pass over some of the finer points In the crafts, a night school is held at the high school building twice a week, un der direction of Mentzer, and is held through cooperation of the school district. Upon completion of appren ticeship which requires two years or 4,000 hours of on-the-job train- MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBTJKIT rTnnt ing, or more, the apprentice is given an examination and, if he passes, receives a certificate which is honored throughout the United States and Canada. Veterans administration has recognized the apprenticeship program and gives approval of student loans when the appren tice's application has been ap proved by the state council.

Fir Street Phono 3072 NATION-WIDE SHOWING OF OREGON AGRICULTURE To emphasize nationally the importance of our agricul tural crops, the story is told graphically by The Oregonian in this advertisement, one in a series on Oregon market industries. It is appearing in national magazines Time, Business Week, Editor & Publisher. Agriculture is a basic, year-round industry in Oregon, a fact recognized by most of us privileged to live la thl remarkable region. We take for granted the advantages of growing conditions here. The Oregonian believes that such nation-wide advertising as this will focus wida attention on our agriculture, creating an interest that will aid industry to grow even greater. A !'
