Dearth of LabOrers Delaying Progress
on Twelfth Street Paving Project
in Rock Island.
FIND SCARCITY IN ALL CLASSES
Complaint Coming from Citizen That
Highway Is Being Unduly Held Up
Is Answered by Commissioners.

Editor The Argus: l do not under
stand why the people, more especially
the merchants, of this city should
stand for such time-kilIing work as is
being done on the Twelfth street paw
ing We should rise up as one and de-
maud that our only entrance to the
city from the south be completed at
once. II such action is not taken 1t
will take their half "A dozen men sew
eral years to complete what good
live company could have done in a
couple OF months
Our country friends are leaving
their teams in Milan, or those who
have time and autos are going to Mo
line, Muscatine or AledO.
Other city jobs of paving are being
completed by the same company. Bet
ter let them wait-and please don't
mention Ninth street.
A dearth of laborers was today Civ
en- as the cause of delay in the Twelfth
street paving project by Commission
er y. E. JuhI, secretary of the Rock
Island municipal board of local inn
prOvementS.
When the substance of the COM
plant in the communication was told
Commissioner Juhl he declared that
the matter had been taken up preyi-
Ously with the Mccarthy Improvement
company which has the contract for
the work. He stated that officials of
the company have informed him that
they cannot secure enough men,
Commissioner JuhI said that the
company has been eXerting every eff
fort to get more IabOrers. Because of
scarcity Of labOrers prices have shot
up and men have quit here to go else
where where even higher wages are
being paid.
Scarce in Department.
Citing an instance to show how
scarce labor is, Commissioner Juhl
stated that he has found it difficult to
secure enough men for the street de
partment and the work is being done
now with less than the number actual
~ required. Officials complain that it
is hard to secure all classes OF labor
and accordingly wages for common la
