‘Potato Pickers Delayed En Route - To Charlottetown

- Only fifteen of the forty potato pickers scheduled to arrive in the City yesterday evening from Cape Breton could make the necessary connections to arrive last night, ~ Mr. J.B. Murley, manager oi the Charlottetown National Employ- ment, office, said yesterday. The remaining twenty-five were oblig- ed to stay at Caribou. N.S, over- night where arrangements for their accommodation were made by the National Employment Oi- fice at Pictou. _ ' Mr. Murley said those men would be going to various farms through- out Queen's and King's Counties. Other men from Cape Breton are _.expected to arrive at intervals dur- . ing the next, few days. In the meantime, while the . Province is importing men for the Spotato fields, a considerable num- - be: of workers have signed up and ‘left to work in the nickel mines at ' "Sud/bury, Ont. There may be more workers leaving for the Sudbury .;“.1lcke1_mlnea later on. Mr. Murley " " “iaid, but his office is not clearing any at the present time.

D.P.'| On Island Farml Mr, Murley said there are about

sons) now working on Island farms. They comprise Poles, Yugo- Blava, Hungarians, and Rouman. ions and. for the most part, are giving satisfaction. Many of them, Mr. Muriel’ said. are highly edu- cated. some of them with degrees from Europe's greatest universities. For obvious reasons their names are not published since many of them have close relatives behind the Iron Curtain.

The fact that all of them fled their own countries while they were still under the military con- trol oi the Nazis or of Soviet Rug. sis and sought refuge in displaced persons’ camps maintained by the Western Powers is sufficient evi- denoe oi their anti-Communist sympathies. Nevertheless, every displaced person who made applic- ation to come to Canada had his or her reoord carefully checked by three different commissions.

.. Those who signed an agreement

"Tllth the Department of Labour to worloon Canadian farms made that agreement for one year. Wisely enough, Mr. Murley said, tho ag- reement drawn up by the Depart- ment. oi Labour did not bind the displaced person to work for any one farmer during the whole l2 months.

, There probably were isolated eases where the displaced person was disappointing as a farm lab- ourer but, on the other hand, Mr. Hurley said. the Department of Labour was to be commended in that it considered its responsibil- ities to the displaced person a most serious matter. should investiga-

._ tion, on complaint of the farmer

v. that his D.P. was about to quit, show that the displaced person

was being "worked like a horse" trom early morning to lato at night, the local national employ- ment office was quick to point

out to the farmer that his dis- Placed-person help must be treat- : ed as an Island worker would be " EMMA and that till! Ill noth- ‘ It; to prevent the DP. from leav- ing his employ and going to an- ._ other farm.

Several Lapp herders were brought from Norway in the early days of the project to help

The official said there's more to herding reindeer than ‘folks might think.

“They are peculiar animals with their own little ways and l. herdoman has to be an expert to bring them along properly. They ive without barns or fences and it's not too hard to tame them. but they require constant care."

Employment reached s. seasonal peak in moat, parts of the Domin- ion during September and. l1- though a slight levelling would occur with slackening in summer- active industries. the outlook was one of "generally sustained 91°- duction with consequent high em- pioyment.”

"Although" agricultural labor de- mend has begun to recede, hiring in construction continues high," the Department said.

“rho continued high demand in both domestic and foreign mark- ets for manufactured goods will

present high level throughout the remainder of the year."
