SCARCITY
RETARDING WORK
THERE ARE HUN
DREDS OF IDLE MEN IN
THE CITY THEY RE-
FUSE TO WORK.

The scarcity of labor is retarding
work in Pensacola, especially the
loading of vessels on the Louisville
and Nashville wharves. where from
two To three hundred men could IND
employment for some time II they
wished that class Of labor.
Although hundreds OF men coulu
be used there at fairly good wages,
none can be secured excepting THOSE
who are now employed, nOtwithstand-
ing the fact that there are hundreds
of men out of employment in the city
principally negroes, but they re1use
to work.
Yesterday an effort was made IN the
CITY to get some of the idlers to go 10
tba wharf and work. but when they
learned what was expected OF them
thew laughed at the man by whom
thew had been approached. The pa
tv found many crowds OF loaters at
saloons and other places, but not one
could be found who cared to earn a
dollar bv a little hard work.
It has been suggested that the CITY
authorities find out how so many re-
sons obtain a livlihOod without work
ing as now that there is plenty OF
work there can be no excuse for be-
ing idle.
