OUR LABOR PROBLEM.

Some statistical light on labor short
age conditions is shown in the survey
of the department of labor. covering
thus far thirty-seven cities. War or
der firms employing 16S,446 persons
want 23,O4s additional workers in
ordnance and munition, iron and steel
castings. machinery, scientific instru-
ments and optical supplies, knit goods,
electrical supplies, chemicals and mo-
tor and truck vehicles. In addition 81
per cent of the demand for more la
borers comes from airplane and sea-
plane factories
1t is improbable that there is an ac-
tual shortage of labor in this country.
Difficulties of employees arise, it may
be. from lack of proper distribution.
England appears to have her labor
situation under much better control
than has the United States.
Under the munitions of war act,
strikes are illegal. The employe or
employer responsible for a cessation
of work lays himself open to serious
penalty. The shifting of labor from
establishment to establishment has
been regulated by a system of licenses.
Competition for labor by different en-
ployers is regulated in large part by
\ the defense of the realm act, which
prohibits both enticement of labor and
the use of labor in an uneconomic
way, such as holding labor for future
contracts or using a skilled man on a
machine which a less skilled man
could operate.
No official regulations exist in Eng
land as to hours OF labor. except linn
itation on the time given to work per
week by female labor. The matter is
dealt with by means Of agreement be-
| tween the unions and the employers
declarations. The normal Hours actual
! ly worked in England amount in the
metal trades to about fifty-fcur to
/ fifty-six per week for men, and fifty
two to fifty-four for women.
A committee on production meets
every four months I'D considers
claims for wage advances and general
conditions in munition work A bonus
is then determined upon to meet with
as much exactress as possible the in
creased cost of living. The govern
ment requires that all people engaged
in munition work shall be paid ar
agreed rate, which is fixed in the last
analysis by the government. Other
industries regulate their own wage
matters, but practically along the
same lines. There is no parallel il
England to the situation here, where
a carpenter engaged on cantonment
work frequently gets more than dou.

FUTURE BOND ISSUES.

Secretary McAdoo has let it be
known that, according to present
plans, issues of government bonds in
the immediate future will not be Of
fered at a rate of interest higher than
4 per cent. He makes it plain that he
does not deem it good business for the
government to crowd other securities
out of the market. At the same time
he urges that there be no addition to
the country's tax burdens, until time
has been allowed for adjustment of
business to the existing law.
Clearly his announcement is based
on faith that the country will continue
to absorb government loans at the es-
tabIished rate of interest. The fact
that liberty loan bonds are selling at a
discount is attributed to German in
fluences. But may it not be due in
some measure to purchase of these
bonds, under the influence of patri-
otto fervor, by persons who were not
in a financial position to hold them
Purchasers may have found that they
needed the money invested in bonds
for other purposes and the attempt of
any considerable number of these to
realize on their holdings would have
a tendency to bear the market Either
patriotism or a desire for a good in
vestment may sometimes be forced to
give place to necessity.
The secretary estimates that Amer
leans must lend the government, be-
tween now and June 80, 1918, 3d.
$50, 100000. This includes loans to
allies thru the year of $4,000, 100000.
For the next fiscal year, June 80,
1918, to July 1, 1919, the secretary
estimates that $4,000 100000 must
be floated in bonds. This also in
cludes a further loan to allies of &c.
900. 900. 600
These vast flotations place upon the
country a great task, but the resources
of the nation are fully equal to them
and they will constitute a cheerful
task only, and not a burden, provided
that the whole community, every
member of it. summons his full en-
ergy day by day to the accomplish
ment of it.

4 Stock of the Santa Fe railroad was
Yelling in the market, July 1, 1914,
at 991s. Measured by its relation to
the purchasing power of a dollar to-
day it should be worth $174.S3. 1t was
auoted yesterday at IS. Why should
the price of railway securities decline
while those of almost everything else
advance? The. railroads are doing
more business and earning more
money than ever before. The situa-
ton cannot. as sometimes in the past,
be attributed to manipulation and
stock gambling. The indications are
that investors are afraid there will be
no dividends. This fear is not due to
lack of faith in the management of
the roads, but to a policy which has
been and is being pursued towards
transportation lines by state and ma
tional lawmakers, public utility COM
missions and the 1. c. c. There is
something manifestly unfair in the
whole situation. Continuation of ex-
listing conditions appears indefensible

TRAWELETTE
SYIIlet.
BY NIKsAH.

oyD1ct
sylhet is a city in the most curious
part of India-the great, low-lying,
jungly, flooded, tea and rice districts
of the far southeast. Sylhet tea is
known all over the peninsula
So low do these regions lie, that
the heavy rains of the rainy season
result in their being flooded for many
months of the year Though far in
land after the rains this is literally
a sea, where all travel is by boat, and
even ships of some size can navigate.
The torrential downpours flood the
lower parts of the country to a depth
of many feet. There is one little
village at the base of the Khasia hills
which had a measured rainfall of
sixty feet in one year.
The villages of this curious district
about Sylhet are set on the crest of
hills After the rains fall, they are
islands. The people are very expert
boatmen, and the children can swim
almost as soon as they can walk.
This is probably the only part of
India where the canoe is in use A
craft not unlike the American is
manufactured by following out a
tree-trunk very thin. Larger canoes,
propelled by twenty paddles, are made
in the same way, and canoe racing
is one of the principal sports.
The villagers of these island vii
lagos keep diminutive cattle. which
they feed largely on marsh grasses
cut from boats. AS a result of abun-
dant feed and lack of exercise, the
cows grow fat and sleek to a degree
unusual among the lean Indian cat
tie. Their milk, butter and cheese,
are known as delicacies in the near
by cities These same villages raise
unusually fine rice, by planting be-
fore the rains begin AS the coun-
try is flooded. the stalks of the rice
grow with the rising surface of the
waters so that rice stalks ten feet
long may be seen when the floods
recede.

Gloves for Swimmers.

A native of the Hawaiian Islands
has invented a webbed glove for use
in swimming which is said to increase
the speed and ease of the swimmer
enormously. The glove is weobed like
a ducks foot between the fingers, so
that great increase of bearing sur
face against the water is secured on
every stroke. If the stroke used is the
over-arm, the recovery is of course
thru the air. but even if an under
water recovery is used, the glove is
so arranged that the web collapses
and there is little additional back
pressure on the recovery
