MARPOWER =RUITTN BEIAW EXPECTATIONS -- Barba, No 94, 20 Apr 49
The recruiting program for heavy industry has not furnished the expected num-
ber of new laborers. At the Jesenioe ironworks for example, only six youths have
been hired of the 300 expected, and the "Pobjeda" Factory in the Vojvodina nas re-
ceived only?Onn tenth of the workers it needs because of insufficient effort by
local manpower authorities and youth organizations.
In the Tesenlas ironworks, however, labor turnover is 60 percent lees than
last year because of 1 roved supply, the founding of day nurseries, and other
improvements in living and working conditions. Such enterprises as she Zenica
ironworks and the "Prvosiajeks" Plant have not paid sufficient attention to such
measures for decreasing lab.u turnover.
The management of the "Dj-ra Djakovic" Plant has located and asked fox a large
number of skilled workers from local cnd republ:a agencise but has not received
theso. Such heavy industrial enterprises as "Rode Ronear," "Jedinstvc," and Two'-niea
Parnih .Xotlova (Steam Boiler Factory) in Zagreb, and the Tvornica Vagana (isallroed
Car Factory) in EFeljevo still have not received the workers they need, though local
and republic agencies are required to supply them. In Zeman, for example there
are more then 100 skilled workers, mostly metal workers, employed in th? 'Ivan
Mllutinovio" Textile Factory, in the "Sava" 33itting Kill, in the "nambinat," and
in other enterprises who are needed in the "Zmsj" Farm Mach_nery Factory. Similar
conditions exist in same smaller towns and villages, r-, for example, In Osijek
Sawa.
In many heavy industrial enterprises, recruiting activity is insufficient,
However, the greatest neel is not to recruit more workers but to retain the old
ones, as a permanent labor force and develop their capacity, rather than to lose
thes to the fares.
The federal government will finance more than four time as much construction
of housing, r9arcational, and vacation projects this year as in 1948. Such proj-
wcts are e;,_^ntlal in establishing a permanent labor force. In oasis. partic' ly
Important branches of industry, such. as the fireproof materials and faria maehigery
industries, where housing has not been built in he past, the program will be
especially extensive.

?h~ 0a jP?. foundry, frr e"ea pl, 'c. - .. :? w-']-era t:~;auoe of the teniency
in some enterprises, mostly local and republ.to, to pay higher than legal wages.
For this reason the "ZmaJ" Farm Machinery Factory has lost a large number of the
skilled workers It trained to its own classes.
The Smedei?evc ironworks proved last year that, through proper organization,
discipline, rationalization, and ',chanizaton of labor, it could cut its manpower
requirements by 6 percent.

day of 4 hours. Nursing mothers are entitled to absences frum work for nursing
until the child is 6 months old, or with the approval of a qualified""state phy-
sicianuntil the eighth month.

the mother may work a 4-hour d_y until the child is 3 years old, with the approval
of the firm and of the union.
