FELT IN CITY
Call for Army This Week
Makes Demand for Help
Strong at Better Pay.
By 4. II. Z. BECKETT.

The draft took my man; III take

passing the buck" as a result Of the
40 percent call for the national army
for this week.
Taking such a large percentage Of
the young men has had lis effect on
Fl Paso business concerns and one Of
the immediate results is that higher
wages are prevailing in almost all
lines.
The motor industry has been harder
hit than any other line OF business.
The demand for mechanics at the gov
Crnment shops at Fort Bliss was the
first demand on this line Of business
and for the past three months there
has been a great scarcity OF me

shops simply had 10 meet the govern
ment price or do without men
Positions in shop work which, SIX
months ago paid 500 a month are now
bringing S135 to $50.
Auto Statesmen Scarce.
Most Of the automobile statesmen Of
the city were within the draft age and
when war was declared. a large num-
Der enlisted and others have been
taken in the draft Fully 50 percent
OF the motor and accessory statesmen

the dealers are busy training new men

large number OF bOOkkeepers and ac-
cOunCants have been aiken for the

taken for the vacancies but other
firms have simply offered higher
wages TO men exempt from the draft
with the result that many changes are
being made. One firm is said to have
lost so men from its office staff 20
other firms offering higher wages
Girls in Mems Stores.
The effect on the stores has also
been noticeable. Girls are now work

Girl Applicants Few.

Despite this, only three applicants put
