The Employment Stabilization
Plan for San Antonio Area, re-
cently placed, in effect by the
War Manpower Commission, af
fects practically all employers
and employees in this locality.
In order that the public in gen-
eral might be familiar with the
provisions of this plan, Mr. C.
J. Warner, Manager of the Uni-
ted States Employment Ser-
vice at Cuero, Texas, who re-
presents the War Manpower
Commission in thi sarea, has re
leased the following resume of
its prvoisions.
For purposes of more closely
controlling and limiting the
conditions under which work-
ers may change jobs in essen-
tial industry, the War Man-
power Commission placed in ef
feet at twelve o’clock midnight
October 15, 1943, a stabiliza-
tion plan for the San Antonio
area.
The plan will be operative in
the counties of Aransas, Ata-
scosa, Bandera, Bee, Bexar, Cal
houn, Comal, DeWitt, Edwards,
Goliad, Gonzales, Guadalupe,
Jackson, Jim Wells, Karnes,
Kendall, Kerr, Kinney, Kle-
berg, Lavaca, Live Oak, Mc-
Mullen, Medina, Nueces, Real,
Refugio, San Patricio, Uvalde,
Val Verde, Victoria and Wil-
son.
The plan prohibits the hiring
of a new employee, that has
been employed in an essential
activity during the past _sixty
days, unless the new employee
has in his possession a state-
ment of availability, issued by
his former employer or by the
United States Employment Ser
vice; and the new employer is
engaged in an essential activi-
ty. This provision sharply
limits the conditions under
which workers may change
jobs within essential industries
and now also eliminates the
possibility of a worker chang-
ing from an essential to a non-
essential job unless a sixty day
penalty period is served, with
certain exceptions listed later
in this article.
The plan provides also that
a worker must be isued a state
ment of availability if:
1. He is discharged.
2. He is laid off of an inde-
finite period, or for a period
of seven or more days.
3. Continuance on the job
Would involve undue personal
hardship.
4. Wages and working con-
ditions on his job are below
the standard set by federal or
state laws.
5. Such ,employment is or
was at a wage or salary below
a level established or approv-
ed by the National War Labor
Board (Or other agency author
ized to adjust wages or approve
adjustments thereof) as war-
ranting adjustment, and the
employer has failed to adjust
the wage in accordance with
such level or to apply to the
appropriate agency for such ad
justment or approval thereof.
In the event that an employ-
er fails or refuses to issue a
statement of availability for
one of the conditions mention-
Freeport, Tex. Nov. 8 (UP)-
Residents of this war industry
center were at work today
cleaning up the debris left by
a Gulf coastal tornado which
killed two persons, left 30 fa-
milies homeless and caused
damage estimated at $250,000.
(Fifty miles away, at Galves
ton, 33 persons were injured.
Four persons were killed at
Maurice, La., and three at Vai-
den, Miss., when the twister
moved across a 200-mile stretch
of the coastal area.)
Killed at Freeport were Mrs.
J. A. Guidry and 10 year old
Velma Moore. Mrs. Guidry
was killed when the wind shat-
tered her small frame house,
and Velma Moore was killed
when sturck by flying debris,
while on her way home from
church.
Thirty families were left
homeless. The roof was lifted
from the Freeport Clinic, but

section.
New Orleans, Nov. 8 (AP)—
At least seven persons were
killed and a score sent to hos-
pitals with injuries in a series
of tornadoes which whirled
through South Louisiana and
Mississippi Sunday and Satur-
day night.
Louis Broussard, 38, Etienne
Herbert and his 8 year old
granddaughter, Mary May Her-
bert were killed when a Tor-
nado struck Maurice in South-
western Louisiana, early Sun-
day. A sheet of metal roofing
was ripped from a roof of a
house and found a mile away
where it apparently amputated
the legs of a cow.
Six hours after a tornado
hit Homeplace, in Southeast-
ern Louisiana, fatally injuring
Mrs. Laura Hingle Ricouard,
when the wind smashed the
house in which she was visit-
ing friends.
About 50 negroes were left
homeless when a settlement of
a dozen houses was wiped out
in the Mount Hermon Com-
munity in the same section of
the state.
Mrs. John Thomas Walker, a
farmer’s wife; Henry Walker,
her son, and Carrie Hill were
killed in a tornado Saturday

There’s a crowd
oh the lines
It’s always a big crowd in these war days. But the Long
Distance operator keeps the calls moving quickly un-
less they just get too many for the circuits. • If she
says the circuits are busy, you can help by canceling
your call if it isn’t really important. But if you can’t
cancel, the operator will request—“Please limit your
call to 5 minutes. ” It’s the work of war we are trying
to speed over the wires.
