More Help
The railroads, the farmers. the road
builders, all need men. They find it
impossible to get as many as are nee
essary. Wages are high, hours are
short, but the scarcity in the labor
market continues.
This state Of affairs indicates that
conditions are normal again.
Bottom was touched last January.
Gradually, since that time, there has
been an increase in the number Of
men employed, until at the present
moment we have reached the point
where It Is impossible to supply the
men necessary to harvest the crops,
build the railroads and to carry on
Improvements that are crowding one
another so fast.
This condition leaves no excuse for
idleness-for the man who wants work
can have It, IL he will but say the
word.
It also indicates that we have picked
up the thread Of prosperity at the
identical place where 1t was broken
ten months ago.
