LabOrers are Few.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
1t seems impossible to supply the
present demand for labor In Arkansas.
This scarcity is causing serious incon'
venience to the farmers and contractors.
The Dalhoff Construction company,
which has the contract for the recon
struction of the Fort Smith road. is
doing everything In its power to secure
more labor The contractors need at
least fifteen hundred men and are not
able to get a quarter of that humber.
They find 1t almost impossible to get
sufficient men to keep up with their
contract.
There Is an Iron Mountain represent
alive In town who is looking for twenty
five laborers at 81. rs day, with rate
of so cents per day board, and after
three days hard work has secured only
four men.
The Frisco system has an agent
here looking for hundred men at the
highest rate of wages and has not been
able as yet to secure what 1t needs.
j H. Mccarthy a railroad contractor,
says that the scarcity Of labor is SER
ious question with all Arkansas con-
tractors, the demand being 80 much
greater than the supply. Mr.. Mccarthy
himself needs fifteen hundred men and
finds 1t almost impossible to secure one
tenth Of that number, even at the high
rate Of wages now offered.
AT Fort Smith during the street fair
circulars were distributed saying that
the Kansas City Southern railroad
wanted 800 laborers at 81 rs day.
The resident manager Of the A. B.
Koenig labor agency says that In all
their years of business they have never
found 1t so difficult to procure labor of
every description, and while their
patrons are offering to pay better money
than ever before, they can not supply
the demand. They have orders for over
1000 men. while the visible supply
will not exceed fifty. This, In spite Of
the fact that the railroads are offering
81. rs per day for all common labor
The planters throughout the state,
whose cotton crops are now maturing,
are swarming into the city and demand
ing pickers. This class Of labor is 80
scarce that the planters are offering 70
and rs cents hundred for picking and
free transportation to and from their
plantations to men and their families.
II is not only the common laborer
who Is In demand, but the skilled men,
such an railroad bridge men, carpenters,
stone inasons, etc.

Cot the Horses.

During Sunday Sheriff Pitcock re-
ceived notice that two men with horses,
acting in a suspicious manner, had been
seen near Uniontown, and started up
there to investigate. He located the
place where the parties had been seem
and found the horses, but the men, EVIL.
IDENTIFY having taken the alarm, could
not be found. After his return to Van
Buren, with the stock two parties arrived
from Paw Paw, l. T., and claimed
them, saying they had been stolen the
previous Saturday night while the own
ers were attending church at that place
and they had tracked them to the county
line.
Our officers think the men who stole
these horses are the ones implicated In
the hold-ups Thursday evening OF last
week and had stolen the horses for the
purpose of making another raid.
