Many Idle Laborers Arc AL
ready Broke In Portland.

Laboring mems wages have fallen
from 80 to so per cent in the north
west since 10 days ago, according to
q. P. McCroskey OF the Canadian
Employment office, in this city, says
a Portland paper.
"The city is now full of idle men
from the sawmills and the Hartman
works Of the Interior" he said, land
there is no new work showing itself
for them. l look for dull times for
workingmen this winter, as there is
little use of them going south, be-
cause there are more idle men in
California than they know what to
do with.
"Ten days ago found It very hard
to get men for the lumber yards Of
Oregon at SO day. Now l can get
all l need for the same work at 50
a day. Two weeks ago the men en-
ployed in the tunnel of the new
Brooklyn sewer received Sc a day
for eight hours. Now we can get
all we want for $2.75 day.
Men are more numerous for all
classes of common labor now in
Portland than at any time in the past
five years. The crowds around the
employment offices of the North
End show this, as the sidewalks are
blocked in all directions. At the
same time, our blackboard, which has
been full of Jobs for which it has
been impossible to get men, are now
bare. When we get an order for a
lot of loggers for the lower Column
bia we can fill it on the instant at
reduced wages
Fully 20 per cent of the idle men
standing around are broke already.
They had accustomed themselves to
coming to town and blowing their
money in within a few hours, conf
dent of securing other jobs and free
but that time appears
to be past and the men are now just
beginning to realize it. A good many
Of them will beat their way to Call
