(From Page Five)
here today that the Republicans
should adopt a legislative program
of benefit to the 40,000,000 unorganized and white collar workers
of the nation. He was less enthusiastic for the "unwashed" shop-
worker.
Declaring the white collar
worker is the "new forgotten
man," Mr. Morris said that both
major parties have neglected that
class of worker through their efforts to meet demands of organized labor. He added that the war
labor board is class legislation in
that it is of benefit only to the
organized workers.

INDIANA EMPLOYMENT
NEARS STABILIZATION
November figures indicate that
Indiana manufacturing employment has been stabilized after 23
months of continuous decline from
the all time high of November,
1943. Noble R. Shaw, Indiana employment security division director, reports that reconversion from
defense to civilizatian production
has passed the critical stage from
the standpoint of labor disiplace-
ment.
An unprecedented demand for
labor in manufacturing peace-time
industries within the next six
months now appears to be definitely in the making. Recent influences of labor troubles have affected industry during the trani-
tion period, but present indications
point to an end of the current
strike wave by the first of 1947.
Wage earner employment in eight
groups of non-manufacturing industries studied was estimated at
I 828,501, up 2.7 per cent from mid-
October, but down 19.1 per cent
from November, 1944. Corresponding weekly pay roll estimates
of $21,407,800 advanced 4.9 per
cent from mid-October to mid-
November, but were 22.8 per cent
below previous year levels.
Despite widespread industrial
unrest, the uptrend in Hoosier factory employment and pay rolls
which began last month continued
through November From the aspect of additional hiring, the most
significant increases occurred in
the iron and steel, electrical machinery and. nonferrous metals industries of the manufacturing durable goods group of indus&ies.
November employment, estimated
at 351,149, factory workers, increased 2.3 per cent from mid-
October, while weekly pay roll
estimates of $15,673,448 expanded
3.5 per cent over the same period.
Compared, to a year ago employment fell back 27.0 per cent and
weekly pay rolls dropped 30.7 per
cent.
As estimated 177,352 Wage garn
ers were employed in eight groups
of non-manufacturing industries
studied at mid-November, a gain
of 3.3 per cent from mid-October.
Corresponding weekly pay rolls of
$5,734,352 were 8.7 per cent above
mid-October. Current non-manufacturing estimates were still well
above previous year levels. Employment was 2.9 per cent greater
and weekly pay rolls were 12.0
per cent higher than a year ago.
Retail trades increased employment 3.8 per cent and weekly pay
rolls 3.7 per cent following the
usual seasonal pattern of these
trades. Downward trends were
noted in the employment of uarry-
ing and non-metallic mining and
dyeing and cleaning establishments.

Cify folk mightn't recognize it, but this
is a tiny ear of young, gteen corn.
What's it worth?
.The way it stands, not very much.
Even the whole field of it that the farmer
has worked so hard to grow wouldn't
bring much on the market right now.
But the farther knows that it will be
worth plenty, come harvest time! He
wouldn't be so sally as to try to reap his
crop now.
Those Victory 'E' Bonds of yours are
like green corn. Kept till maturity, they'll
pay you back four dollars for every three
you've invested.
If you keep on buying Bonds, you'll
find you've done an amazing things—and
done it more easily than you ever thought
possible.
There'll be that home of your own
you've wanted—within your grasp. Or a
college education for your kids. Security
and leisure for you. And—all the time—
the comfortable feel of a "shock absorber"
between you and insecurity.
Hang onto those Bonds! Buy more and
more and more! One of these days you'll
be awfully glad you did!
