Americans VIII Not Do Manual
Work, Public Employment
Bureau Finds.

The European war. which has stopped
immigration TO this country. and even
encouraged emigration from IL. has in
large measure helped to make New
York's unemployment problem for the
winter much less severe than in for
mer years, according TO information re-
ceiyed from the various charity organi-
atoms Of the city and the Public En-
ployment Bureau. in Lafayette Street.
There will be nothing like 81 per cent
OF New York's wage earning popula-
ton unemployed, as last years official
census showed.
Quite the contrary. at present there
is scarcity Of manual labor which as
time goes on may become serious. Ac-
cording TO Superintendent Walter l.
Sears of the Public Employment Blu
reau, the emigration of large numbers
of foreign born workers for service in
European armies has knocked the bot
tom out OF the common labor market
and forced American employers to fall
are willing to respond.
THE present situation emphasizes
our dependence on foreign-born labor,
said Mr.. Sears. "The native Ameri'
can will not do common labor. even
under the most favorable conditions
So far this year the net increase OF
population as q result Of immigration
Is 7S,40O, against $500 for the same
period last year"
According to Mr.. Sears. there is an
excessive demand for young people In
practically all Of the industrial lines
due 10 the seasonal nature of the hat
garment and candy trades. Wages
range from 81 to 81 week, but com
paratively few boys and girls will ac-
cept such employment, preferring office
positions, where the environment Is
more inviting. The bureau could place
1000 children now at 81 to So week
according to Mr.. Sears.

RUSSIAN EXPORTERS FAVORED
So Declare American Importers Under
Lately Modified Regime.

Washington, Oct. 5.-American i'm
porters are criticising the arrangement
recently entered into between the
State Department and the Russian gov
eminent for the lifting OF the embarg d.
on Russian exports 70 this country.
They declare the arrangement to be
call In favor of the Russian govern
ment." The American importers are
reluctant TO take the risk OF filing n
bond covering the value Of the ship
ment which they receive and which
they are in constant danger OF forfeit
ing on evidence that any portion Of the
goods, either In its original or in any
other form, has been re-exported.
Protests from importers against
the clause. which provides that a bond
must be made out to the Imperial Rus
sian government, to run for three
years, or until peace shall have been
declared by Russia with all It's enemies,
will probably result IN a modification
Of that section. IL has been practical
ly decided that a one year bond will
be sufficient, with a clause to tho ef-
feet that in case the war has not
ended when the bond expires the
American firms must renew the same.
