NUMBER OF EMPLOYED IN
N. Y. SURPASSES EMPLOY
MENT LEVa OF V-J DAY
New York City.—Employment
in New York State stands at a
level higher than that prevail
ing on V-J Day, the State Labor
Department reported.
The department’s division of
placement and unemployment In
surance said that 5.400,000 per
sons had jobs in New York hi
September, ag against 5,089,000
in August, 1945, the last month
of hostilities. The totals did not
take into acconnt farm work, do
mestic work, self-employment or
service in the armed forces.
The September figure, the latest
officially available, was the high
est this year. The division pre
dicted that it would be exceeded
in reports for October, November
and December. As evidence of the
upward trend, the division noted
that manufacturing employment
rose to 1,923,00 in October, a
gain of 23,000 over September,
according to preliminary esti
j mates. Increased activity in trade I
and postal employment during the
holiday season was expected to1
contribute further to the increase 1
in jobs during the final quarter'
of the year.
The number -of persons claim- ;
ing unemployment insurance lien- J
efits in the state dropped to 290,- '
000 in October, 17 per cent be- |
low September. It was the first
time the figure had dipped below
300,000 since November. 1945.
Nearly 44,000 veterans went off
the readjustment allowance rolls,
chiefly because they found jobs
or entered school. •
The comparison between em-j
ployment at the end of the war.
and September of this year
showed that Government service
and the manufacture of durable
goods were the only major cate-'
gories showing declines. Indus
trial employment showed a gain
of 6.9 per cent over V-J Day.
This was" slightly less, the divi- j
sion acknowledged, than the gain
for the country as a whole, which
was 7.5 per cent.
HOUSING OFFICIALS
SUPPORT T-E-W BILL
New York City—The National
Association of Housing Repre
sentatives meeting here adopted a
resolution supporting the Taft
Ellender-Wagner bill as part of a
program designed to boost pro
duction of homes.
The resolution calls for vigorous
action to provide for the con
struction of dwellings at the rate
of 1,500,000 per year for the next
13 years, nearly double the pres
ent rate.
Senator Robert F. Wagner, pre
vented from attending the session
by illness, was honored by the
group with the presentation of
scroll testifying to his “untiring
efforts” for the betterment of
housing conditions. The presen
tation marked the 10th anniver
sary of the United States Hous
ing Act of 1937, adoption of
which was due largely to the sup
port given by Senator Wapier.

| most important ruling in tha

Workmen of North America

COURT OROERS DISTILLERY'
WORKERS CEASE ALLE6EO
THEIR SECONDARY BOYCOTT
New York City—Federal Judgd
“Sylvester J. Ryan issued a tern-'
1 porary injunction restraining Lo
cal I of the AFL’s Distillery'
, Workers Union from continuing1
1 an alleged secondary boycott
against the Schenley Distillery
Corporation.
The action was the first brought
here under the Taft-Hartley law
which prohibits secondary boy
cotts. The injunction was re
quested by the regional director
of* the National Labor Relations
Board upon complaint of the
Schenley corporation.
Union officials said the court
order, which is effective for a
5-day period, would be complied
with. At the expiration of the (
stated period, the Federal court!
will hear arguments to determine
whether the injunction tempor- j
arily restraining the union's ac-1
tivities should be made perman
ent.
It was charged by the Schenley
company that warehousemen,
member of Local No. 1, employed
by six major New York City
liquor distributors, have been re
fusing since last Friday to handle
Schenley products cutting off the
flow of liquor for the holidays in
many local bars and package
stores. The warehousemen, it
was charged, are acting in sym
pathy with members of Local 38,
of the same international union,
who have been on strike since No
vember 13 against the George T.
Stagg Company* a Schenley dis
tillery at Frankfort. Ky.
When counsel for the . union!
movement for an immediate hear
ing on the issues involved, the
judge denied the motion, holding
that “the facts presented war
rant fully the granting of the
relief now sought. It is well as
tablished that where the court
has jurisdiction to grant an in
unction by final decree, it has
jurisdiction to grant a prelim
inary or temporary injunction.’*
An attorney for the NLRB,
and counsel for the regional of
fice argued that “substantial and
irreparable damage to the com
plaintant would be unavoidable”
unless the restraining order was :
issued at once pending final de
cision on the merits of the case.
