At ... Vll i, luc Si 0I voters which uncorked a flood many parts of the coun- are listed at the government em- ployment office. Many of those seeking employment are elderly or handicapped men. About half a dozen are recently returned veterans who are still "shopping around," undecided as to what jobs to take. "Except for the dry dock, the labor situation here Is desperate," Mr. Whiting asserted. "In the fish packing Industry it is particularly acute. The need there Is so great that we have asked Pacific Command to release about 20 soldiers to work at the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage plant." This condition exists in spite of the fact that there have been a number of terminations at the dry dock, Mr. Whiting Indicated. The policy of the shipyard, he said, is to telease first from employment those who were brought to the city from other parts of the country to work here during the shipbuilding boom. "These people, most of whom come originally from the prair ies, are being offered transportation costs .back to their homes when their work at the dry dock Is completed," the Selective Service officer said. "Those who were hired locally are being let go last." A large part of the prairie people who have left the dry dock are returning to their former homes. Differential between wages in the shipyard and other industries is a contributing factor to this emigration and also to the labor shortage in the fish pack ing Industry, Mr. Whiting be Ilevea? ' -V. Wage schedules in the ship building yard range from 77 cents to $1 an hour, while in the fish plants they are from 72 cents to 82 cents an hour. Shipyard Workers Could Re Absorbed "Ex-shlpyard workers could fill any of these Jobs if they were willing to accept a lower rate of pay. The jobs are there. But it seems to me that wages In the fishing industry must be raised, to the level of the shipyard or the fishing Industry 13 in for a bad time," Mr. Whiting declared. Conditions in the female employment field are similar, to the male situation, the Selective Service officer revealed. There are about 75 vacancies and apparently no one to fill them. "We have urgent need for 11 stenographers, nine retail clerks and 25 waitresses. While there are 25 wnmen in the. city listed as unplaced, 10 or them have been referred to jobs but we have not yet received reports as to whether they have taken those Jobs. The other ten are more or less looking around for the most suitable work they can get." At present, there are only two claims for unemployment Insurance on file at the Selective Service office. One is a man of 78 and the other Is a claim transferred from another unemployment Insurance offloe.
