Marr, slate APL secretary, said Uie unemploy ment compensation commission is trying to paint a rosy picture by saying Oiat-the unemployment can be blamed entirely on normal sea sonal shutdowns. Brown said employment could be Increased if lumber and aluminum products were finished in Oregon, rather than shipped to other states in their raw condition. He criticized Gov. Patterson s fi,,. . man Orezon Development Commission as not having a broad enough base. It should be more representative of Industry, labor, and the banks, he said. "We need more diversified in dustry." Brown added. "In Mult nomah County, where there is di versified industry, the unemploy ment 1 ate is only half of the state average." Marr said that more low cost power must be developed, adding that the state of Washington is getting ahead of Oregon in the power field. Volney Martin, representing the APL building trades unions, said the situation now is bleak for the construction workers, and is going to get worse. Kenneth Davis, secretary or tne Northwestern Council of AFL Lum ber and Sawmill Workers, told of many sawmills closing down be cause of lack of markets. He urged that more markets be lound for lumber, and said the trouble Isn't seasonal. We're on the wrong track if we think that when the sun begins lo shine next spring, we'll all go back to work," Davis said. Davis and other labor leaders urged that access Toads be built to open up new timber stands to enable the little logging operators to stay in business. R. T. Rollo, of the canning work ers union, said that the canneries should pack off-season products. Newell answered that his cannery would like to can soups, dog food and pork and beans, but that the freight rates made It impossible to compete with Eastern firms in the same field. Marr said he checked 10 unions tnd found 27 per cent of their members out of work. These unions are mostly In metal trades and shipbuilding. James Cellars, Astoria, repre senting fish canners, said the prob lem in Astoria Is seasonal, as well as a shortage of products. Cellars said that the albacore fish pack, which totaled 44 million pounds in Astoria in 1944, dwindled to 2,000 pounds in 1953. The salmon shortage Is getting worse, too, he said.
