Few Unemployed
In State Today
It is reported today by W. R. Cur
tis, acting chairman of the North
Carolina Unemployment Compensa
tion Commission, that for the second
consecutive month, unemployment
among this State's workers has re
mained at the lowest point to which
it has fallen in the past four and a
half years, as indicated by the 30,
135 benefit checks the commission
wrote in July. That means that not
as many as one in a hundred of the
workers protected by the Unemploy
ment Compensation Law against loss
of pay when their workv ceases is
out of work .today.
The worker who remains unem
ployed is most likely to be a woman
in her early thirties, formerly en
gaged in textile manufacturing. A
special analysis of the initial claims
for two recent weeks was made by
the Commission to determine this.
Three-fourths of the 3,146 claimants
analyzed were found to be women;
the median age given was 32; 82 per
cent had been engaged in manufac
turing, of which 69 per cent were in
the textlie group.

Meafless Days And
Possibly Rationing
Are Being Forecast
"The current shortage of meat is
only a forerunner of things to come
?and the sooner that is realized the
better," Roy F. Hendrickson, Agri
cultural Marketing Administrator,
warned in an address before the Na
tional Association of Retail Meat
Dealers, at Chicago, August 17.
During the year that began July
1 there will be "a shortage of 3 bil
lion pounds of meat in relation to the
quantity of meat civilian consumers
i would buy at ceiling prices," Mr.
Hendrickson said. He explained that
"we need some system?perhaps ra
tioning, meatless days, a combination
of the two, or something else to as
sure equitable distribution of what
will be a short supply of meat."
Until livestock marketings pick
up in the fall, the Department of
Agriculture has put into effect two
programs aimed at relieving the cur
ient^pinch,' Mr. Hendrickson advis
ed. "First, purchases for our allies
have been reduced temporarily to
make more meat available for do
mestic consumption Second, prices
paid for the meats still being pur
chased for shipment abroad are be
low the OPA ceilings specified for
AMA purchases "
The AMA chief advised also that
the Department of Agriculture is
formulating plans whereby pack
ers facing the necessity of suspend
ing operations may continue to op
erate by entering into a processing
contract on foods purchased for our
allies. This plan is necessary as a
Stop-gap measure if several small
packers are to continue in business
until the large volume of hogs begins
to be marketed this fall, when our
processing capacity will begin to be
heavily taxed."
Discussing the current meat situa
tion further, he said.
"The bumper livestock crop of
1942. when translated into terms of
meat, is expected to total 21 7 bil
lion pounds. That figure compares
with an average of 163 billion
pounds for the 5 years from 1932 to
1936 inclusive, and with an average
of 17.8 billion pounds for the 5 years
from 1937 to 1941 inclusive. Produc
'" '941 reached the high total
of 20 billion pounds."
fcxplainlng that the over-all reason
for meat shortage is the keen war
time demand for meat arising from
our armed forces, our allies, and
from civilians, he pointed out that
the combined total of requirements
for the armed forces and for our ai
des during the year that began July
1st IS equivalent to about 35 per cent
Of our federally inspected meat pro
duction or about 25 per cent of to
tal meat production.
