SAX KftAXOISOO. .Ian. 23.—A

workers throughout the Pacific Coast
3 noted by J. A. Kelly, San Fran

oartment of Labor, in his monthly
report issued here today
Although agriculture, except Coi
citrus fruit picking in California, is
low at a standstill, building, where
,v ‘ather permits, continues unabated.
Southern California, Mr. Kelly's

An abstract of Mr KeMy's repor
follows:
California
"Cessation or agriculture and oinr
outdoor activities, as a result of ir
element weather, has resulted in
large surplus of unsigned labor. Can
Uruetion camps in the higher alC
tudes also were forced to shut down.
Most of these workers took to the

fields are operating to capacity. Wln
'er is bringing in the usual quota, of
itinerants, especially in the southern
part of the state. Many of these
remain until the advent of spring
iml add materially to the number
of unemployed during this season.
Oranges and other citrus fruit pick
ing is about to begin and will help
somewhat to relieve the unemploy
ment situation. This market, however
can be supplied entirely through the
■ local districts. No distressful condi
tions have been noted up to date.
Oregon
“There is at present, a surplus
of all kind of labor, both skilled and
unskilled, caused chiefly by cessation
jf nearly all sea-anal occupations
and the shutting down of ’lumber and
’ogging camps in the higher alti
tudes.
•'The approaching winter finds a
1 surplus of unskilled workers and
common lalior. This is due to the
i closing down of all seasonal oceupa
i tlons, further augmented by the
| shutting down of lumber mills and
| construction camps in the higher alti
tudes. Shipbuilding and iron and
[steel industries are still dormant.
There is iittle or no employment in
j these lines."

[spent their force, the weather bureau

left sir imb'd and sunken ships, itn

the sea. and a series or "delayed

I ha. not been equalled since war

That seven week period which
came to its end January 7 left a

than 12 hour; late—most oT them

solvable mystery of what happened
to eight other ships.
In addition there were accidents
or m ar accidents on the He i of

Lakes, the Haltlc Sea-but the hur
ricanes which crossed the Atlantic
were the worst.
