EMPLOYMENT —
BOARD HAS 5)
MILLION FUND
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6.—California’s ‘new employment stabilization
commission, appointed only four
months ago by Governor Earl Warren, wound up the year 1943 with
$451,000,000 in this state’s unemployment trust fund —— a ‘sum ‘the
commission is husbanding carefully
in ‘aniticipation of postwar uhemployment insurance‘ payments.
Although the Hew ¢oMmission has
had‘onty four ‘moiths Operating expérieticé, its members—Homer W.
Buckley, chairman; Bdgar FE) Lamipton, ‘vice’ chairman; ’ Michael’ B.
Kinz, T. H. Mugford and James G.

problems connected with unemployment insufance ‘edllections and disbursements, and aré on the road’ to
solutions of ‘other problems which
have annoyed employer and employe
alike sincé inauguration of the system in 1936. Aa im
During the past year, $165,000;000 was added to the unemployment
trust fund, plus nearly $7,000,000:
interest.
Most important problem confronting the commission at’ the ‘preseat
time is the question of whether or
not the fund is adequate to’ meet the
anticipated demand for ‘unemployment insurance
the war. a
Shortly after its condiningent: the
new commission inaugurated surveys to determine the answer to this
question as accurately as possible,
and these surveys are cortinuing at
the present time.
The new comr ission lost no. time
in tackling other matters important
te the succes?/ul. administration of’
an unemployment. insurance
gram. Immediately « after appointment, representatives of business, industry, labor and. the public sat
down with the commission and dis-. .
cussed their problems on many occasions. . ’
As a reyult of these conferences,
the commission is now proposing a
new procedure which will relieve
employers of sending thousands of
separation notices.to the, depariment. It. is expected that this new
procedure will be in’ effect early in
1944.
addition, the commission met
interim committees. from both
the state senate. and assembly, and
. discussed probable changes in the
. unemployment: insurance act. These
. meetings will continue throughout
11944.

FIGHT TO KEEP
INDUSTRY GAINS
By CLEM WHITAKER
California ‘wants its rightful
place in the sum, industrially, when
this war is done, California must
fight for it—and the fight must be
won in the hard-boiled halls of politics, rather than by old-fashioned,
straight forward methods of competition. paees
That conclusion, half formed as a
result of the east’s growing opposition to the program of industrialization in the west, has become -inescapable since the action of War
Production Board Director Donald
(M’ Nelson in repecting a proposal
that at least one West ‘Coast representative be given a place on the WPB
Steel Industry Advisory Board.”
The steel industry, of course, must
be the base ef any permanent heavy
industry program in the west—and
the action of the WPB in refusing,
recognition to the West Coast, taik-.
en in: conjunction with the recent
decision of War Production Board
officials against launching the proposed. huge new steel plant at Geneva, Utah, is the tip-off: that eastern industrialists are out-pressuring
the west in the nation’s capital.
The tremendous contribution that
the west in general—and California
in particular—has made, and is
making in winning the war in the
heavy industry field has brought this
state to either No. 1 or No. 2 position among all the industrial states
of the nation. But that,
winning us friends and recognition
in Washington, seems to have had
the opposite effect; it has alarmed
eastern. industrialists, with their
heavy, investments in eastern indus‘tries, and there is a determined drive
on to strip this state and ‘the west,
of their new industries-when peacé
comes. :
The political significance of this
economic struggle between the old
If
jeast and the new west—if the west
is in a fighting mood, and determin-'
ed to hold and extend its gains—-.
‘will be sharply avident in both the’
‘Republican and Democratic nation-;
al conventions. For about the only
way. that California can be assured
of fair treatment in the national industrial picture is to put the various
candidates for president (and lesser
offices) on record while they are
still candidates, and in vital need of
iCalifornia’s votes in’ the political
conventions and the elections to follow. . ‘

UST. FOOD INDUSTRY
MAKES VAST
MIET CHANGES
About: the only fresh fruit our
grandparents had all winter when
they were youngsters. were apples
stored away in the vegetable cellar,
which was sometimes a little distance from the house. By spring, the
apples were apt to be pretty soft and
shriveled.
An orange was a Christmas delicacy, often put in the toe’. of the
children’s Christmas stocking. A banana was a delicacy. Grapefruit was
unheard of.
Grandma probably grew some
parsley or some chives in the window
box for something. green for savor
during the white winter months.
"Modern refrigeration, gréen-hous.
ing, transportation, quick freezing,
and dehydration and other techniques and dévelopments ot the food industry liave ‘changed all this. °
Té is almost tfue ‘that there is no},
time of Year when any fruit’ or vegetable is “‘Out’ of season.” Now most
Américanis [haVe orange juice for
breakfast! Probably ‘strawberries in
January will soon be as common as
green corn in August. —
What cannot be bought fresh can
now be bought ready cooked full of
vitamins and minerals and succulent
as on the day it was preserved.
No .longer-is it necessary for
everyone, poor or rich, té search for
the first dandelion shoots of the
spring to make up for dietary deficiencies through the . long winter.
Green and fresh foods all year ‘round
make _ it unnecessary.
This is an example of the American standard of,.living that is being
maintained and tremendously improved even in wartime, by the food
industry.
And while on the _ subject . of
household equipment, homemakers . .
ean’t give stoves too much care these
days. They should be kept clean and . ’
free from rust, and minor repairs
should. be made ‘before they get
worse. It’s up to householders with
usable stoves to keep them in the
best working order so that the few
new Stoves available can be rationed to people who are without. Of
course, they get first call on stove},
rationing certificates.
