could find work at once clearing away
the debris and preparing the ground for
skilled workmen If to follow them; but

Cannot be unlonded simply because there
are no freight handlers. What IS true

anxious to make their stocks Of goods
or their lands productive OF income that
they are paying large premiums to work
men. In some cases skilled mechanics
receive as hi gh as ss15 a day, and more
