PAY LAW TAKES JOBS OF 1 IN 200

AFFECTED BY IT:

Only 50,000 Jobless as Resuit of Measure, Andrews Says.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. 10 (U. P.) .—President Roosevelt studied today a report from Wage-Hour Administrator Elmer Andrews, who estimated that less than 50,000 workers have lost their jobs as a result of the act.

These 50,000, Mr. Andrews reported, represented less than onehalf of 1 per cent of the workers affected, and he said “a number of field reports suggest that when all readjustments are completed, total employment will have been increased rather than decreased as a result of the act.” The report said that 90 per cent of the workers laid off were employed in four industries: Pecan shelling, tobacco stemming, lumber and bagging. “Many of the layoffs reported are not due primarily to the new act. Among the more important contributing factors are seasonal changes in activity, substitution of efficient for inefficient workers and curtailment as an offset to abnormally increased activities prior to the effective date of the act,” Mr. Andrews reported.

Mostly in South

He said it was noteworthy that “the layoffs have been concentrated in the South, most of which is characterized by wretchedly low wage rates and other special conditions. “Some increases in employment as the result of shortening of hours have been noted,” he said. There were no lay-offs in 32 states, and in five additional places there was evidence: of only one situation each involving a layoff. These were the District of Columbia, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi and New Hampshire. “Layoffs of tobacco stemmers in Georgia, Southern Virginia and some areas of North Carolina are definitely attributed to seasonal factors,” he said. “The tobacco crop is already in storage in much of the growing area and the work of stemming is tapering off in the central area of North Carolina and in Virginia. Hence, where tobacco stemming is done by casual workers, as is the case for the independent small firms of leaf dealers, employment is normally curtailed when the year’s tobacco crop has been handled. There have been no layoff reports for the large factories man- . ufacturing tobacco where stemming is done the year around largely by machinery.

Small Mills Affected

“Most of the lumber mill workers reported to be laid off (from 7000 to 8000) are in Georgia and Alabama. Because of the consideraple number of small mills in these states, generalizations are difficult, but evidently some of the layoffs have occurred in the marginal firms which, because of fear and uncertainty about the act, are suspending operations to await price increases. Reports from Arkansas, Alabama, South Carolina and Virginia indicate the larger lumber companies have generally not been affected and that it is expected that

down will reopen in the next few months, “Widespread shutdowns in the Pecan industry, especially in Texas,

have occurred while exemptions

irom the wage provisions are being discussed. Because of the notoriously low wages paid pecan shellers, many of whom regard pecan sheiling as a means of supplementing their incomes from seasonal agricultural work, serious readjustments will have to be made if the act is tc be observed. Both employers and leaders of the employees contend that the minimum wage rate cannot be paid immediately. Meanwhile it is estimated that 10,000 to 12,000 Texas pecan workers are unemployed.”
