ness conditions in the United States
was very bad.
While there is a demand for labor
of all kinds in Mexico, and general
shortage of labor throughout the re-
public, and the mines are in many in
stances handicapped by the lack of
labor, employment agencies in this
city report that they can get all the
help needed. This condition does not
exist throughout the republic, how
ever, where there has been steady
demand for all the laborers that can
be had for several months.
This condition has caused a slight
increase in laborer's wages and will
induce thousands of MeXicans to re-
main in the republic, instead of mi
