A Burlington man says unskilled
labor is scarce in Vermont and men
are wanted to go into the woods and
cut timber The logging industry in the
Vermont hills is unusually active this
year, owing to the fact that the snow
came early and has lasted, which is a
good condition for cutting timber. 1t
Is almost impossible to obtain men at
present although the top notch price
is paid, which is $50 per month and
board. In some cases $40 a month has
been offered. This speaks well for
Vermont's timber industry.
