Coal output drops sharply in early 1946, energy production fades, and layoffs hit iron, steel, and metal plants. Jobless pay and a 20,000 person jobless pool loom as a costly burden while veterans seek aid under the 6,1 bill. Ben Hogan arrives in Emerson after a Chicago trip, paying duties on golf balls en route to the Canadian Open.
