PRISONER OF WAR LABOR PROFITS Prisoner of war labor utilized in California under private agricultural labor contracts during. .a—-six months period whieh ended‘: January 31, returned a $906,417 profit to the government, Major General William E. Shodd, commanding general of the Ninth Service Command, declared today at Fort Douglas, Utah. During that period 290,010 mandays of prisoner of war labor were performed under agricultural contracts by personnel interned at four base and 15 branch PW camps in the state. General Shedd stated that prisoner of war labor assisted materially in harvesting San Joaquin valley’s cotton crop and also benefited vegetable and fruit growers in other areas where critical labor shortages existed. Prisoners are employed only «in ‘areas where free civilian labor is unavailable, General Shedd emphasized. In addition to hoe performed hy prisoners in agricultural work, California military installations, where prisoners are utilized in essential work in shops, laundries and on the grounds, benefited by 833,259 mandays of such labor. : The profit realized through the employment of prisoners in California represents the difference between the-80 cents-per day each working prisoner received in. canteen coupons and the per day cash wage which would have been paid civilian workers for identical tasks. A total of $2,416,510 was paid the treasury department by private contractors for prisoner of war labor performed—in——aericultural—fields within the Ninth Service’ Command during, the-six month. period. In-order' to make sich 12 or available in:man power : shortage areas without subsidizing the private contractor, the war department requires contractors to pay the treasury dgirtment the same wage rate per uit of work completed by prisoners that would have been paid to free civiljan workers for the same unit of work. a Immediately after Pearl Harbor, the Coast Guard darkened many light houses onthe .West Coast as a security measure. Some light houses were so difficult to reach that they had to be extinguished by gunfire from Coast Guard vessels. The Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, who ‘make up the (present Yugo-Slavia, are’ all closely related Slavic peoples. Iraq, or Mesopotamia has been believed ‘by some biblical writers to have been the site of the Garden of Eden.
