Why Labor 10 searos.


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.OOO automobiles. One-third Of them
are pleasure cars driven by chauf-
feurs. an army Of 5000 able-bodied
men removed entirely from produc-
dve work.
The army Of pleasure car chauffeurs
In the whole country must exceed half
q million men-sll 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 4 SOL
dier or his hack. We vary 1t In the
United States BY carrying q chauffeur
on our backs. says "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Ledger.

Washington. Nov. IA President
Wilson, back in the White House for
the first time since the campaign be-
gan. two months ago. plunged into
work in an effort to clear his desk OF
accumulated business.
Taking for granted that he had been
reelected he asked NO questions about
electoral votes. but did display anx-
iety over the political complexion Of
the next House Of Representatives.
Through an interview with Secre-
tary lansing the President got In
touch with pressing foreign problems.
including the submarine. Mexican. and
British blockade issues.
In . talk with Henry Morganthsu.
chairman OF the finance committee cf
the Democratic national committee. he
became acquainted with the latest do
velopments in the political situation.
State Department officials make no
secret Of their belief that dangerous
possibilities are presented by recent
developments in both the Mexican and
submarine questions. Secretary Lans-
ing reviewed details with Mr.. Wilson
but said NO immediate action was In
prospect
Some development is expected soon.
