JACKS NOT IN DEMAND.
Experts WOodsmen scarce and Lum-
her Companies Curtaiiing Work.


No increase IN the demand for men for
the woods as result of the forest fires
during the summer and fall has been no
ticed by c. w St John, a Milwaukee
labor agent. who supplies men to go north
to work for the lumber companies. 1t
had been expected that there would be a
bigger demand for men than usual be-
cause of the Eecessity of cutting down
the timber. which had been scorched by
the fires. and which would be destroyed
by worms if left standing another year,
The financial hurry has been felt SO Sc
vcrely by the lumber companies. however,
that il will more than neutralize the for
est fires. I'VE are sending fewer men this
year than in several years" said Mr.. st.
John. Because OF the financial trou-
bles wages are lower. and in addition the
men who go TO the woods have TO pay
their own railroad fares. which were for
merly paid by the lumber companies. This
indicates that the companies do not need
men badly. or they would raise wages
and advance fares. The companies are
not over the scare of a year ago. when
cancellations of previous orders for men
came in as fast as mail and telegraph
could carry them"
