Help Scarce at Enola;
Men Leave to Join Army

Every day the labor situation in
the Enola yards becomes more acute,
according to officials in charge. At
present the transportation depart
ment is more than 100 men short,
and the conditions are the same in
the motive power branch.
The high wages paid by the NUM-
tions works and other manufacturing
plants is blamed for the scarcity of
men on the railroads. In addition
to the shortage number of the
employees are leaving the company,
especially dtfring the last two weeks,
to enter the army, and other
branches of the national service.
During the last six months large
numbers of southern negroes and
Mexicans have been brought to
Enola, but they also are attracted by
the high wages paid by other con-
Germs.
1t is probable that when the first
draft army is called a number of the
younger men employed in the yards
will be called to the colors and the
situation become more serious.

The great ma ajOrity of the communications are said to advocate prices far in excess of the minimum fixed by congress, un- der various pretexts of alleged neces- sity or eXpedlency.
