saying that the prosecution is con¬

cases since Smith was acquitted
Thursday on the same state evi¬

In the trial that led to Smith’s

around the defense attorneys’

ingham, Long and Liberty coun¬
ties on an itinerant basis hi-
nv»u- Vly.
The Savannah office, managed
by D. P. Blake, assisted emplnvers
in >*« five-county area in fi'lirg
3 830 non-farm jobs in calendar
b‘59. During the same period, em-
doyers hired through the local
»Ti.-e. v>ork«rs to fill 2 072 farm
: olThe state total for ron-
farm <ob placements for 1059 was
123.015, up more than 20 percent
over 1553. Statewide farm place¬
ments totaled 152,030 or 11,200
more than in tie* year before.
Commissioner Huiet’s report
showed that factory production
workers earned an average of
*04.88 in December 1959 which
figure was 2(5 cents higher than
in December 1958. The average j
hourly, rate of pay for this month 1
in 1959 was $1.(51. I
Job insurance payments made total- |
f njT $25,977,000 were to
employed Georgians, last year.
This was almost $13 million less
than paid in the peak year 1958.
in addition, the Georgia Depart¬
ment of I.abor supervised the pay¬
ment of $2,418,200 in federal funds
to jobless federal workers, ex-
servicemen, and veterans. Over
42,(500 workers had job insurance
claims filed for them by their em¬
ployers because full-time work !
was not available; and for which
they received wages elss than I
their weekly job insurance bene¬
fit amount. Large scale layoffs
occasioned by plant shut downs
due to inventory, fires, lack :
over
of materials, etc, affected some
30,300 workers) last year.
During fiscal 1959, $1.19 was
paid out in gdbjjnsurance for each
dollar , 11 of ( job . 1 . tnStfr^ihce (. I —— ...... I tax .. .. collect- ..I 1 nn(
'*d. This v.as due primarily to the
relatively high claims load dur¬
ing the first two quarters of 1958.
January 1st, I960 saw the job
insurance trust fund at over $142,-
063,000 or $1 million more than
the total for the previous January,
fn this regard, Mr. Huiet stated in
his report —i .'IIthnppears thatf the
trust fund is adequate to meet any
for-seeahle unemployment emer¬
gency that could come up. But we i
need to be wailful that the fund !
is not subjeetd) -fo undue strain.”
In 1959, $1,25(5,934 in job in¬
surance was paid to unemployed
workers in Chatham County. At
present there are 1,184 jobless
workers being paid job insurance
on claims filed in Chatham County.
Concluding his comments on his
annual report. Commissioner Huiet
stated — “Last year, the purchas¬
ing power of ^iir non-farm work¬
ers was the Highest on record. Our
economy hit a r.cw milestone by
■exceeding one million non-farm
workers in mid-year. We start the
new decade, the Soaring Sixties,
with non-farm employment almost
double what it was 20 years ago.
and a third higher than i;i 1950.
