BIRMINGHAM. 111112.. Dec. I - (OP) --,An acute shortage of men willing to work as laborer: is plakuing the building trade and many other industries in the early reconversion period - yet hundreds of former laborers are drawing unemployment benefits.

The situation is an aftermath of wartime training cf new enl- lneenng specialists. The Mid- lands. a malor industrial centre in peacetime. attracted a big share of munitions contracts. The construction industry’: manoo was halved the number of workers in many other activities was heavily curtailed. ,

Many of the displaced employ ees went into the armored forces but others became engineer’ workers -- running lathes. help- ing assembls tanks and building aircraft.

"Now they have lost those loba with the cancellation of govern- ment orders and won't go back to their old blsck- d rnarlaizcr of the Blrmin ham La- bor Exchange.

Corlstruction. with u relatively large proportion of laborers. is hardest hit but the situation ex- tends to some of the dirty jobs in industrial plants. Polishers are needed by the hundred in fac- tories reverting to civilian pro- duction after turning out such products as shells and parts for military vehicles which did not require a high finish.

By GEORGE KITCHEN

OTTAWA. Dec. 3 -— (OP) Federal Government proposals for boosting meat and wheat produc- tion next year to help feed a hungry world today were placed before the DominioirPmvipctal liflflcultzurlal conference which also heard Prairie suggestions for greater emphasis on wheat pro- duction than on meat. _ ' Agriculture Minister Gardiner. answering the western represen- WUOHS. said that if wheat acre- age was increased it would be at the QXWIIEG 0! acreage for coarse 1181-115. which were necessary if Canada was to produce beef and bacon to meet overseas corruuit- merits. l

In ‘brief. here are the Govern- ments Slllll-testllons for 1946 acm- oozes. as drawn up by the Agri- cultural Supplies Board:

Wheat: 23,414,100 acres. of which 22,566,000 would be grown c514 the Prairies. unchanged from

Saskatchewan and Al- aria. Hurley. 8.000.000 acra against 7.300.000 in 1945. with all the in- crease ill the Prairie Provinces. Mixed lzrains: Unchanged. at 1.- 453.400 acres. mostly in Quabgq and Ontario. Tile conference, attmded by Dominion and Provincial agricul- ture officials and farmer organ- ization leaders. also heard: 1. An announcement by Mr. Gardiner that he and Trade

Britain soon to determine the food treads cf tho United Kingdom and Europe and to survev the possi- bilitles of enlarging Canadab overseas agricultural markets.

2. A warning from Arthur Mac- Namara. Deputy Labor Minister, that the farm labor situation pos- siblv will be worse next spring than it. was in the spring of 1945 and his suggestion that farmers give more attention to wages and efficiency if they hoped to hold their own in a competitive lmbor market.

3. A statement by L. B. Pearsall.

secretary-manager of the Can- adian Meat Board. that Canada. would be 40.000000 pounds short on her commitment to supply Britain with 450,000,000 pounds on bacon this year. Bacon will be in short supply in i946 and possibly into 1947. 4. A report from tlhe Agricul- tural Supplies Board that total output of meat in Canada. in 1045 at 2,400,000,000 pounds shows a decline of 15 per cent from the‘ record production of 1944 and the Board's prediction that a further "minor" decline will occur next year.

Minor Changes Likely. Belief Ileld At Ottawa

By J ACK BRAYLEY

UITAWA, Dec. 3 — (OP) -—Po:. sibility of l minor 4Cabinet re- shuffle und the appointment of several parliamentary assistant: early next year, was being discuss. ed tonl t in parliamentary lob- bies.

Prime Minister Mackenzie Kin served notice of future Cablne reconstruction at a press conference last August when he announced Cabinet appointments and said the system of parliamentary assistant: would be continued.

Mr. King had indicated that the Cabinet reconstruction, when if. came, would see the three services consolidated under one minister. First step in this direction was the naming of Hon. Douglas Abbott to head both Defence and Naval Af. fairs following the resignation of Gen. McNaughton as Defence Min- ister.

This move would appear to lndl. cate Mr. Abbott, rather than Col. Colin Gibson, the present Air Ml.n- isfer, would assume direction of the three services when final consoli. datlon is completed.

There has been much speculation in connection with the future of Col. Gibson as to whether he would stay in the Cabinet or accept ano- ther high post. The most oft-re- peated report on Parliament Hill I: that he might be named Lieut- enant-Governor of Ontario-As post held at one time by his father.
