This is the record: How have employees' wages fared since it lx came the law? avIn 1946, before erage hourly wages in manufacturing were $1.08, and average weekly wages were 43.82.

Mr. Pelt blamed a further marked drop in the demand for copper" for the reduced schedule. Employees will be laid off on the basis of seniority, as provided in the various working agreements with the unions. If recalls to employment are made, they will be on a similar basis. This is the first such curtailment of production in the past IS years. Greeted With Dismay News of the impending layoffs was greeted with dismay in the community, as residents had hopweek that ed that the five-dawas previously announced would result in no unemployment. However, officials believe that the men so affected, will be able to obtain work elsewhere, and a number had been employed to assist in construction and improvement work that is not of a steady work schedule. y School Incident!
