CANNOT FIND ENOUGH
WORKINGMEN FOR JOBS
Complaint Comes from State
Employment Bureau About
Labor Scarcity.

Special to News-Times.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. among
the many discouraging signs to the
professional political calamity howl
ers who are training their lungs for
the campaign of 1915 is the an
nouncement of Oswakd Stain, clerk
of the states free employment bureau
that he can not secure men To fill
good positions which he advertised.
OF course no one pretends to say
that business in this or any other
country at the present time is nor
NAL or that all men are employed.
At the same time all over this and
other states there is a vast improve
ment over a few months ago.
Jobs are being announced every
day Mr.. Stain says, and he finds a
scarcity o. men to take them. The
fact that the Indianapolis newspapers
have freely announced in the news
columns, under display heads, that
these places are vacant and waiting
for men to fill them, has not served
in the least to relieve the situation.
At the same time this is going on, one
finds lots of sO-called politicians, who
are really and truly out of political
jobs, and who Will tell of the suffer
ing among thousands of unemployed,
greatly exaggerating the facts.
Among the positions announced the
other day was an order from one
firm in Detroit calling for 40 men.
The company placing the order has
been working two shifts of 40 men
each 10 hours a day. The increased
business demanded increased produc-
ton and the company decided TO put
on three shifts of eight hours each
The state employment bureau could
not fill any part of the order The
offer from the company was to guar
antee permanent employment, and TO
pay all the travelling expenses of men
who would take the positions.
An Indiana glass factory asked the
state bureau TO provide ID TO 20 fam
lilies. where the heads Of the families
and mature male members mighc all
be employed. This demand was also
unsatisfied. There is not a day that
positions so without supplying the
men at the free state bureau" de-
clares Mgr. Stain.

Mr.. Miller condemned the habit OF
the ministers in quoting some prOmi-

corner, pickles, mOlasses and sauer

ternal associations TO verify the truth
of his statements. The speaker assert
ed that extravaganza of illustration
was another form of ministerial dis
honesty, and said that truth of state
ment was in nouns and verbs-nOt in
adjectives and adverbs by the yard"
He declared that much of the gossip
about a minister was often due to the
fact that the minister, in his preach

stories. and hair-breadth escapes,
which his people do not take seriously.
