on the outside or the Seattle & Inter-
national general office building. near the
stairway. there has dangled for several
days past a sign which stated that labor
ers were wanted for track work and inn
provements along the line. When Super
intenden Kline was asked IL labor WAS
scarce. he replied: Yes. / consider.
however. that 1t is a good sign of the
times. Ii Is not 80 very long ago that
men were coming into my office begging
for any kind OF work. Now they come in
and ask what sort of work Is wanted and
what the pay is; how many hours day a
man works and what board in the car or
camps costs. / answer that the pay is IA
cents per hour. and that days are OF ten
hours each. We are relayfng ties and
track. and that is the sort Of work ii is.
Board costs about $40 per week. Some
of the men ask tor places and get work.
while others hem and haw around. and
some say that they can do better. As far
as doing better is concerned i doubt It.
no matter il times are Improving; there is
not a day passes that ! do not see men
loaaang around and helping 10 superintend
the colEnan building. across the street.
Some OF these are men who have asked for
work up here, but didn't like the wages,
or the idea OF laying ties or track.
ssf.s,aer-a fIy snea king times are mixing
up, bue our read has not commenced to
feel IL as We will later. Other lines are
undoubtedly doing considerable business in
towns that are large, as merchants are
buying more heavily, but in the small
towns along the Seattle International
the merchants are making only the most
conservative purchases. There is a good
outlook ahead. though, but until men can
do better than we are Offering for labor
ers. 1t seems strange 10 me that they viii
not work at all
