shortage Is serious one From estimates
by the California promotion committee the
immediate demand in California, outside

thousand teams with drivers to supply it
at present, and as the season opens for
spring and summer work this demand will
be greatly increased. From So 80 to s45

the demand seems most insistent Just at

Work for Thousands
Labor shortage is also noted In all aS-

that employment will be ready for many
thousand mon beginning with the earliest
fruit season. In all the interior towns
tories there is constant and increasing de-
mand for female help as operatives. In
the lumber districts there is marked
shortage and ii is estimated that between
ten and fifteen thousand men will be
needed to supply the demand. Railroad
building that is going on in all parts of

mand for labor. and both men and teams
