ABOUT THE BUSIEST
Man in the World is the Yam
kee Manufacturer.
LABOR MARKET Is BARE
And They Must Take Material
When They Can Get It

Washington, Oct. 2e.-The manufactur-
ers. in the opinion OF the chitf of the bu-
reau Of statistics. are about the busiest
people in the United States at the pres-
ent time. Mr.. Austin. the chief Of the
bureau, has just returned from a visit 20
the manufacturing centers Of New Eng
land and the middle states. and II their
condition is an example OF that OF the
| manufacturers OF the country generally.
as it presumably is, there can be no occa-
sion for complaint that mills and men are
/ lacking employment. Mr.. Austin visited
the cotton, wooden. worsted. silk. fiber.
carpet. print goods. rubber. boot and shoe
nat pottery and watch and clock estab-
hShnents. and in no case did he find a
I lack OF orders for the manufacturers. or
Of employment for men and women drslr-
ing employment. on the contrary. the
great cotton, wooden. silk and other tex
tile mills are running on fun time and
overtime. while the manufacturers OF
rubber goods. boots and shoes. clothing.
and pottery reported their orders far IN
excess Of their capacity 20 ali With
promptness.
our chief difficulty" said the manager
OF great factory Of rubber clothing. "i=
20 get n sufficient number OF ernplovas
and sufficient machinery 70 meet our or
ders. The crude rubber We can get
though the importations Of that are in
creaslns rapidly and the price advancing
because Of the increased demand. but the
costly machinery and tho skilled labor
which are 20 do the work are not go easily
had. We maintain constantly n school for
the instruction % young men aud women
in the lines Of work required IN our FAC
tory. and yet with the constant reduction
% our force by the demands upon n from
other mills Of this character. we are
short o. hands and unable 20 keep 10

Similar statements were made nv ,ha
managers Of other manufacturing estab-
hshments. The cotton mills wogIen rqiIfs
and silk manufacturing establishments
