Shedd, commanding general of the Ninth Service Command, declared recently at Fort Douglas, Utah. During the 1944 harvest season, war prisoners performed 19,732 man days of labor in peach and pear or and mnjqn, chardsand - sugar-bee- t, fields within the state. The $54,000 profit derived from PW labor performed in Utah represents only a portion' of $2,416,510 paid the Treasury Department . by private contractors for work ' performed! in western states agricultur al fields and orchards by war prisoners over a six months period. Harvesting of crops throughout the Ninth Sendee Command was assisted materially wherever critical labor shortages existed by performance of such labor. Prisoners are employed only in areas' where free civilian labor is unavailable, General Shedd emphasized. Labor by prisoners at Utah military installations, employed in essential work in shops, laundries and on the grounds, amounted to an additional 312,807 man-day- s. The $54,000 profit realized by the government through employment of war prisoners in Utah represents the difference between the 80 cents per day each working prisoner received in canteen coupons and the per cash wage employers would have had to pay civilian workers for identical tasks. In order to make such labor avail able in shortage areas without subsidizing the private con tractor, the War Department follows the policy of requiring private contractors to pay to the Treasury Department the same wage rate per unit of work performed by war prisoners that would have been paid to free civilian labor for the same amount of work. , DoaiN overseasTed- - is has--arrive- in the European theatre of war.
