I NEEDS
U
MORE MEN TD
MEET DEMANDS
By WILLIAM E. LOWELL
WASHINGTON, July 10 (P
If present and anticipated de
mands for lumber are to be met,
the industry must have men and
more men, Senator MltchelMD-
wasn.i declares.
Mitchell told a reporter the
army estimates 500,000,000' feet
of lumber will be needed to
move more men and materials
from the European theater
alone. .
War demands, he said, are
still pressing; the industry is con
stantly being assured that lum
ber is a critical material but it
still must scramble for labor
with a score or more other In
dustries, all on an equal footing
as to priorities. ,
. He anticipated that postwar
construction needs will keep the
demand for timber production
high. . ,..
Mitchell said he had sought
war production board aid on the
manpower problem and the
shortages ot tires and heavy
duty machine parts.
War manDOwer commission
records for the past five months
show that about four per cent of
employment service placements
in 10 western states have gone
into the lumbering industry,
about six per cent into construc
tion, a little over three per cent
into mining. In contrast; 45
per cent went into manufactur
ing activities, about 23 per cent
into trades and services. '
ManDower records, incident
ally, show that the trickle of
veterans seeking employment
fallows closely the larger stream
of non-veterans, at least in the
western states. - The records
seem to indicate that unskilled
or semi-skilled men take the
first and best job for which they
are qualified. . .
In Oregon, for instance, In
the five-month period, 11,231
non-veterans and 1208 veterans
went into lumbering while only
38 non-veterans and 7 veterans
went into mining. Oregon's
lumber . industry far . over
shadows its mining operations.
A similar contrast, not quite so
marked, was evident in Wash
ington state and, to a still' lesser
degree in California, where Job
opportunities are more varied. ;
