DIFFICULT TO GET MEN /:

raj days after unloading while the
master of the vessel scours the city
for men, Any kind are taken on, no
matter whether they know the compass
from the masthead. Just so they can
pull on a rope. At Baltimore the uues-
city and unless men are obtained soon
large number OF schooner captains
will be forced to tie up their vessels on
account Of the labor situation. 1t 10 said
number OF masters have offered $50 and
more a month for men. but that they re-
fuse for the reason that they do not
want a Job.
Just why this condition exists-is not
clearly explained. but one reason given
In that the high wages offered at the
government cantonments has made II
impossible to get men to ship on any
OF the Day craft. II fs understood that q
number. after working several weeks

and return to this city TO spend their
