MEN MORE PLENT IFUL ].
THAN JOBS FOR Them
STATE FREE EMPLOYMENT Blu
REAU HAS MANY CALLS.
In Spite Of Reports that Railroad Con-
tractors and Lumbermen Are in Need
Of Crews, Hundreds Of Experienced
Men Are Without Employment
Women Also Seek Employment.

In spite of the fact that telegraphic
dispatches from the west, northwest
and southwest declare that there is an
unprecedented demand for all kinds Of
labor, particularly railroad laborers,
there seems to be an, ever-increasing
surplus in this city. This condition is
not confined to the market for ,laborers,
as there is apparently similar con-
dition existing in the supply Of house
workers and domestics of all kinds. ~
At this time the state labor bureau
branch in Minneapolis would like to
place several hundred good men. Off
Gals Of the bureau do not try to &C.
count for conditions, but hold out the
hope that an Improvement will be felt
after the holiday season has passed.
Louis Levy, superintendent of the local
bureau, speaking, of conditions, said:
"Many men are daily reporting at
the state free employment bureau, and
at the present time there are a great
many more men and women coming in
than there are places to give out. There
seems to be a need of men in the woods,
but up to date none of the employing
loggers have called on the bureau for
help. Still, there are many of the ap-
plicants who claim to have spent sew
eral winters in the woods and are evil
IDENTIFY experienced workmen. It would
afford the bureau considerable relief if
employers in general would make their
wants known at this time.'' ... ~..-

Painters union, No. 1856, will elect
officers Tuesday evening. Nominations
for officers, with the exception of bust

ing night, but will not be closed until
election time Tuesday evening. So far
President Pat Hogan has no opposition
for reelection, and it is. generally con-
coded that he will 20 thru without any
opponent. Mr.. Hogan has been an I'M
usually satisfactory executive and is
deservedly popular with the member
ship. 49,.
Nomination and election of a bust
ness agent will be the principal work
of the evening next meeting night A
new candidate has announced himself
in the person Of Ben Jones, making
five men who are after the place. The
others are A. g.. cambridge, A. T..
Baker, Lee Lockerby and c. D. Newton,
all Of whom, are putting up a lively
fight. The aspirants are all men of good
ability and some Of them have the ad-
vantage Of having filed the office for
several terms. HAL 49,.
Talk has already commenced upon
the question whether or not the paint
ers will make move this winter for
an increase in the wage scale for the
coming year. It is yet too early to say
definitely, but inquiry at building
trades headquarters develops that there
is a disposition to leave all the scales
as they are.

Winnipeg. Man., Dec. 15.-Winni-
pegs iighr for a civic administrat ton
pledged to economy with efficiency
closed on Tuesday last when James H.
Ashdown, the millionaire hardware
merchant, the avowed advocate of a
policy of retrenchment in municipal eX-
pendlture, was elected to the highest
office in the gift of the people of Win
nipeg.- For the next year Mr.. Ash
down will be chief magistrate. That
he will conduct the. civic affairs with
the same amount of care that he has
devoted to his own business is the be-
lief of his supporters and the hope of
every ratepayer of this growing city. O,
There was but little doubt that he
would win out in the mayoralty cam
palgn, but his most ardent supporters
never expected that his victory over
Alderman j. G. Latimer, worthy can
didate, would have been so decisive.
His majority Of 2,762 indicates clearly
that every interest had come to the
conclusion that it was time an end was
put to the spendthrift policy followed
by the civic fathers for the past three
leadership of the retiring mayor,
Thomas Sharpe.
What Latimer Stood For.
Mr.. Latimer was without doubt a
nominee of the 'ring,' which has con-
trolled civic expenditures since 1902.
While no one doubts the honesty of
the past three councils, the vote given
to Mr.. Ashdown indicates that the ad-
visibility of the lavish expenditure of
public money was seriously doubted by
every class of citizens in Winnipeg.
Mr.. AshdoWn was the nominee of
the business interests, which seemed
contort to rest with their success in
getting a leader among themselves to
run for the mayors chair. The ease
with which their candidate won has i'm
pressed them with the fact that grave
mistake was made in not nominating a
full citizens ticket of business men
pledged to conduct affairs on business
prime Piles. 1t is already being sug-
gested in mercantile circles that a citi-
zen s committee be formed to sit
permanently for the purpose of select
ing candidates for the next election in
Winnipeg for the board of control,
council and school board.
