Indiana Has Plenty of Labor but! Certain Jobs Are Going Begging

———

THERE ARE A LOT OF round holes, That, Indiana, as summarized by the Division,

There are still enough unemployed persons {o fill all the jobs now open and ones that w 1s that most of these unemployed persons don’t know how

to do the work that is wanted.

This situation is characteristic of times like these when einployient is rising. they Wee di sor

find the certain skilled workers |

that are needed. |

Schools and | employers con- | duct training courses, national labor clearance | systems are used, | advertisements are run in newspapers, radio Roger Budrow B Ye rams are utilized, trade associations, labor unions and schools are asked to help. Now they are seeking labor that is| employed but which could be em-| ployed to better advantage in the armament program. A tool maker, | for example, is also a tool room ma- | chinist. The ability to operate a power sewing machine may be a basie requirement for a hotel linen | room worker, but could also be used | to make Army uniforms. It is by using such technics now that labor is being found for highly-skilled tasks in the more vital industries.

® = RAILRDADS EXPECT their busi- | ness to hit a peak this fall and are ordering quantities of freight cars to! be ready. About 42,000 freight cars|

are on order books now and 10 000 | more are expected. Some expect Southern railroads to be under the heaviest traffic strain because industrial activity is picking up greatly there and because coastwise shipping may be diverted Lo other uses. n » » VALUE OF INDIANA farms rose slightly last year, according to an Agriculture Department survey. A Hoosier farm at the end of 1940 was worth 74 per cent of its average price between 1912 and 1914. The survey compares farm values according to percentages, rather than in dollars. Indiana farms in 1930 were worth 80 per cent of what they were in 1912-14 hit a bottom 33 ‘per cent in 1933 and have climbed steadily ever since. n » ” | ODDS AND ENDS: Army and Navy oil requirements now are 10 times what they were when U.

COST OF LIVING IS INCREASING

Sharpest Rise Has Been in Food, Government Bureau Says.

WASHINGTON, April 25 (U. P.). —“High cost of living”"—the wrecker of housewives’ budgets—is lurking around again, . . The Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Agricultural Economics report increased food, clothing and rent prices. Increases have been sharpest in foods, but other items are following the general upward trend. Advances have not beén sensational in any item except meats. And Government machinery has been set up to prevent any inflationary price movement. Officials hope to keep living

comes. Both have been increasing. On the average all living costs are approximately 3 per cent above the level of August, 1939, just before the outbreak of the European war, according to reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Food, | up five per cent, is the biggest item, New supplies which merchants are putting on their shelves for the spring trade average 6.3 per cent higher than a year ago, the Bureau said. Wholesale food prices are 9.5 per cent higher and textile products 11.8 per cent higher. Other increases over a year ago include fuel and lighting material 1.2 per cent; building materials, 7.7 per cent; chemical and allied products, 6.7 per cent; housefurnishing goods, 1.8 per cent; leather products, 1.8 per cent, and miscellaneous commodities, 2 per cent. Wholesale prices after seven consecutive weeks of increases were 829 per cent of the 1926 level on April 12 and at the highest point since’ November, 1937, Isador Lubin, of Labor Statistics said.

RETAIL TRADE HOLDS TO PAGE

This Week's Volume Best Since 1929 for This Time of Year.

NEW YORK, April 25 (U. P.).)~= Retail trade continued active this week with volume “at the = best level for this period of the year since 1929,” Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., reported today. Dollar volume for the week was estimated 14 to 17 per cent over the corresponding 1940 period come pared with a year-to-year gain of 12 to 16 ‘per cent in the previous week. “Stores were thronged with shop pers, relatively few of whom were found to be ‘just looking,” Dun & Bradstreet said. “Retailers traced gains to a nume ber of factors. First place, accorde ing to most reports, went to highe er payrolls and agricultural ine comes, which were filtering through

to retail channels at an unexpecte edly fast rate. “Weather, too, was said to be a favorable influence, especially in contrast to a year ago when spring selling was severely retarded by rain.” The trade authority noted some “anticipatory” buying particularly in durable goods items which can (be purchased on installment terms, Demand also was apparent, it was said, in such staples as groceries, shirts, pajamas and blankets. On a regional basis, retail trade showed the following percentage gains over a year ago: New England and East 15 to 20; Middle West 12 to 16; South 17 to 22; South west 10 to 15; Northwest 6 to 9, and Pacific Coast 12 to 17. Reporting that wholesale trade was “relatively unchanged,” Dun & Bradstreet said “reorders on seasonal merchandise and an ine | crease in commitments for the near« (term were said to have offset soma decline in forward orders.”

And this is all it costs!
