There is no room for complaint concerning
lack Of employment in the Wheeling district.
But few workmen are getting as much for
their labor rs they were three years ago, but
wages are picking up slowly as the demand
for labor increases, and there is reason TO
hope that by the first Of the year nearly all
lines, especially iron, steel and glass, will be
paying almost the old rate However. the
increase in wages is coming from higher
selling prices. and wnges do not reach the
rates which would have been paid with COM
nodities selling at the same rate as three
years ago.
The call for iron and steel workers has
never been greater than at present. Every
mill, furnace and steel plant in Middle Ohio
Valley is fully employed, and many Of them
are arranging for increasing their produc-
iion at an early date. The Bessemer workers
are getting the cream OF the business, and
the furnace men are following second.
