Cam eron, commissioner of the Depart ment of Employment announced today. The huge influx of 52,400 new orkers to the labor force was mostly school youth, housewives, and migrants, whu are mainly at tracted by the farm and food pro cessing jobs which become avail able when Oregon's harvests get underway.

Other industries luring addition- I employes were retail trade 500, contract construction, 2,900, and federal government 1,200.

May to June with an estimated 8,600 workers direct ly involved In the dispute. A good market has resulted in expanded production from the rest of the industry.
