Changes In Employment Picture Here
Evident In Review Of Opportunities
For Work In Basin Throughout 1 945
By JOY BIGGS
Drastic changes In the employ
ment picture over a period of
12 months was evident in a re-
view of work opportunities in
the Klamath basin as 1945 drew
to a close.
On January 1 of this year, jobs
went begging. Today there are
unemployed due to persons re-leased-
from war industries and
the influx of returning veterans.
This past year saw every per
son who so desired in a Job.
Some who didn't want to work
were also on the employed list.
Claims for unemployment com
pensation were almost nil in the
early months of 1945.
Railroads seemed to have the
greatest difficulty in obtaining
help, due mainly to lower rate
of wages in vogue, the depart
ment of labor bulletin stated.
The office was extra busy at
intervals with Mexican railroad
laborers coming in to renew con
tracts, at first every six months
and then every three.
Housing Problem
Housing was an employment
problem, too. Many workers
who came and found jobs in the
vicinity, could find no place to
live and left for places where
the housing shortage was not so
acute. '
Freauent chances in employ
ment bureau personnel retarded
work in the various depart
ments. Many servicemen's wives
left at a moment's notice when
their husbands were transferred.
By mid-summer there . were
' still Dlenty of lobs but .the.situa-
tion had evened itself out. some
what, with a number of particu
larized jobs unfilled but nearly
evArvone emnloved..
In August the men started
coming home from overseas. In
that month 34 registered for em
ployment, 58 in September and
the load increased in October
with 208 registering. Les Finley,
veterans' emDlovment agent
added an assistant to his depart
ment, the busiest in the bureau.
A large number of the veterans
were placed in industry through
specialized aptitude system
developed with the cooperation
of employers.
Found Own Jobs
Numerous other veterans did
not register but found their own
Jobs or returned to those they
lad prior to military service.
. Veterans were given preference
in every possible instance and
this policy is still in effect. By
the end of November there were
only 183 positions unfilled and
although there were still men
unemployed these were not fit
ted for the jobs open. .
After V-J Davi "freezing'
workers on jobs thawed, work
ers were permitted to mage
changes at will with no release
necessary from employers and
there was a considerable turn
over in employment for several
weeks after restrictions were
lifted.
The CIO strikes in lumber in
dustries threw a lot of workers
out of employment in October
and when these were settled
AFL strikes occurred and un
employment increased as war
industries closed down. Box fac
tories started replacing women
workers with returned veterans.
many women quit their jobs
when their husbands came home
land the employment situation
see-sawed up and down.
Spud Harvest
The potato harvest took "care
of a good number of lumber and
released war workers, but the
dehydration plant, which in pre
vious years employed around
200 workers, did not resume op
eration m H4a due to cancella
tion of government contracts.
This had a definite effect, on the
local labor market.
Postwar construction plans
were in evidence but regular
winter shut-downs in lumber in
dustries occurred withr:bad
weather. Construction " fell., off
for lack of materials and sup
plies. The compensation department
oi tne oureau became one of the
busiest with sometimes . five
clerks helping the regular unem
ployment compensation agent in
late wovemoer and December,
With the employment situa
tion in an unsettled state at the
end of the year, Jack -Almeter,
manager of the USES,, advises
people to stay on their jobs and
continue with the work thev
know and where they have hous
ing lacmues.
Man Reports Auto
Stolen In Klamath
James A. Blue. 337 Commer
cial, reported to police today that
his black 1937 Ford sedan was
stolen trom in front of his resi
dence late last night.
. The state police have also been
notified to be on the lookout for
this automobile. Blue told po
lice that he had left the keys in
the car.
Six drunks and one person
charged with being drunk and
disorderly appeared in police
court this morning, and five
drunks bailed out. Four cabbie
licenses were issued for 1946
and five parking tickets were
paid.
Phone Caffs Make
Life Miserable
VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 29
(ff Ralph Fisher, haggard from
interrupted sleep, was trying to
day to find out who is making
his life miserable by fake tele
phone calls.
Both ponce ana iiremen
rushed to the house the other
night. Ambulances have shrieked
up "at all hours," Fisher com
plained, and deliveries of hay,
grain, feed and flowers have
been ordered.
A $50 reward for arrest of the
prankster has been offered by a
low car service which was sum
moned three times in one night.
Extra Police
Patrols Set
PORTLAND, Dec. 29 (IP) In
an effort to check a crime wave
here, police will start question
ing persons roaming downtown
streets after midnight, Chief
Harry Niles said today.
Extra sauads will patrol city
streets nightly, he reported, un
til assaults and robberies de
crease.
Meanwhile, the shore patrol
said sailors would be checked
as they left ships to make sure
they were not carrying illegal
weapons. Several guns were
stolen from the USS Paul G.
Baker, the executive officer re
ported. Police complained sail
ors on leave had caused several
disturbances such as smashed
parking meters and shooting
fracases.
City Building
Permits Gain
Building permits issued by the
city in 1945 to December 28 total
more than eight times the
amount of last years permits.
The building grants this year
represent $819,175, against
1944 s total Of $97,305.
The marked increase in build
ing, remodeling and enlarging is
accredited to the end of the war
and the fact that the restrictions
on building materials have been
lifted to a great extent.
Many business firms, whose
products were not being manu
factured in large quantities dur
ing tne war, are preparing lor
their postwar trade. Larger and
more modejti buildings account
ior me large scaie projects
undertaken in late 1945. This is
evident in the number of permits
which total 457 this year, as
compared to 253 in 1944.

Churches Well
Attended Here
During 1945
Five Klamath churches an
nounced during the past several
months that they would either
build new edifices or would ex
pand the churches now occupied.
It was a year well attended by
local churchgoers, Klamath min
isters reported, as they reviewed
the past 12 months which saw
the cessation of hostilities over
seas and brought to all the need
of the churches in such times.
Five churches plan construc
tion involving thousands of dol
lars which will be spent within
the next couple of years. One
edifice is under construction
now, to be finished in 1946.
The Latter Day Saints church
being erected at Home and Mar
tin streets will be finished some
time during the coming year, de
pending on materials and labor,
at a cost of S110.000. Members
are now meeting in the city li
brary club rooms.
$100,000, is being planned by the
r irsi rnrsuy leiiuus wiiu uuw
hold services in the old red
brick church at the corner of
6th and Pine. A campaign to
raise funds for construction is
well underway with nearly half
the fund already oDtainea Dy
subscription. Construction will
not commence until the full
amount has been subscribed, the
Rev. David F. Barnett Jr., pastor
of the church, stated.
Remodeled
St. Paul's Episcopal church,
8th and Jefferson, is to be remod
eled at a cost of $12,000 soon
after the first of the year to en
large the parish room, class
rooms, improve kitchen facilities
and change the entrance. The
Rev. Frederick C. Wissenbach is
pastor.
The Rev. Cecil C. Brown, pas
tor of the First Baptist church
announces that a church archi
tect will arrive from the east
some time in January to go over
plans for the new building con
templated at a cost of between
$75,000 and $80,000. Five lots
have been purchased by the
church on Esplanade for the
building. Construction will
probably be started during 1947,
the pastor stated. The present
church is located at 8th and
Washington.
New Church
Peace Memorial Presbyterian
church now holding meetings in
Altamont junior high school,
may use the foundation already
in on the lots purchased at 4431
S. 6th. It is hoped that con
struction of the new -church
building may be started in the
early spring of 1946 or as soon
as weather permits. Part of the
$40,000 contemplated expendi
ture has already been assured,
the Rev. Hugh T. Mitchelmore
stated. .
Flood Hampers
Hunt For Body
ALBANY, Ore., Dec. 29 (IP)
Mary's river has flooded its
banks, making it unlikely that
the body of Ernest Bowman,
45, Kelso logger, can soon be
recovered, Sheriff Mike South
ard said today.
The river was dragged below
Philomath for two days without
luck. District Attorney Harlow
L. Weinrick said that unless the
body is found, burglary charges
will be pressed against S. C.
McClain, 67, Portland; Jack
Mann, 27, Corvallis, and Roy
Moore.
Southard said McClain ad
mitted Bowman was "taken for
a ride" and shot as a car driven
by Mann entered Benton coun
ty. The three men were ar
rested in Portland in connection
with three Brownsville robber
ies. An empty wallet engraved
"Ernest A. Bowman" was turn
ed in to police by a pedestrian
who found it on an east side
Portland street.

8 Miners Safe;
2 Others Dead
By KYLE VANCE
PINEVILLE, Ky., Dec. 29 (IP)
Eight miners, rescued from the
wreckage oi an explosion-shattered
coal tunnel near here,
were safe in a Pineville hospital
today and two others were dead,
as rescue workers pressed their
search for the remaining 21 men.
All but one of the eight, re
moved from the tunnel last
night, were reported responding
satisfactorily to medical treat
ment. The eighth, identified as
Tom McQueen of Pineville, was
reported in a serious condition.
All were injured in the blast
Wednesday.
Rescue crews found the se
verely burned body of an uni
dentified miner today, near the
spot where they expected to lo
cate the remaining miners. The
first casualty was identified last
night as Albert Bennett, 64, also
of Pineville, who was four.ii
alive but died before he could be
brought out of the tunnel of the
Kentucky Straight Creek Coal
Company Mine Number One.
Fire-the 24th blaze since the
original explosion Wednesday
morning broke out again this
morning in the main tunnel, de
laying efforts to reach the men
still unaccounted for in the
mine.
Rescue bosses ordered all their
crews to draw back to the exit
side of the new fire, lest they be
trapped. The work of fire fight
ing then was started all over
again.
Among those rescued last
night was a miner identified as
Bud Towns, 52, of Pineville,
who survived the Kettle Island
explosion in another mine near
here in 1929. Sixteen men died
in that explosion.

es were issued, compared to 379
for 1944. Of the 502, civilian
couples got 190, marines took
169, sailors 94, soldiers 24, fly
ers 10 and five went to coast
guardsmen.
Complicating things, there
were several instances of a li
cense being issued a marine and
a Wave, a sailor and a Wave,
soldier and a Wac, a sailor and a
woman marine and various
other service combinations.
Possibly because of the de
creased glamour of a uniform
and probably because the naval
air station began moving out, the
number of service marriages as
compared to civilian alliances
began to slump soon alter V-J
Day, and in the past two months
the great majority of pcr.-ils
were issued to civilian coupics,
many of them sporting discharge
emblems.
And there were instances of
the groom-to-be killing two
birds with one trip to the court
house having his discharge pa
pers recorded and obtaining a
marriage license.
In the 452 divorce suits filed,
cruel and inhuman treatment,
the catch-all under Oregon law,
was charged in 377 cases. Deser
tion was listed as the cause in
48, the fact that the husband
had been convicted of a felony
in three and adultery in a single
case.
Twenty-three suits for annul
ment went into the records. Rea
sons given included prior mar
riage still in effect, one of the
parties under age when married,
divorce not final and fraud in
the marriage contract.
Of the 345 decrees granted,
the wives took 235 and husbands
were awarded 110. The remain
der of the complaints filed have
cither been withdrawn or are
still hanging fire. Decrees grant
ed last year totaled 279.
