Why Labor Is Scarce.

Here is one reason which you may
have overlooked why labor is growing
scarcer every day In the United States |:
We have now in Pennsylvania alone
225,000 automobiles. One-third of them
are pleasure cars driven by chauf-
feurs, an army of $4,000 able-bodied
men removed entirely from produc-
tive work
The army of pleasure car chauffeurs
in the whole country must exceed half
million men-all nonproducers. In
deed, there is another great big army
of men building pleasure cars to be
operated by these other nonproducers
of essentials.
They used to complain in Germany
that every taxpayer had to carry a sol
der on his back. We vary it in the
United States by carrying a chauffeur
on our backs, says "Girardr in the
Philadelphia Ledger.
