THE LABOR SUPPLY

Secretary Wilson said three weeks ago that the
supply of labor sufficient for industries the
problem to be solved being of adjustment. This
assertion is now repeated by the United States en-
ployment service which, under the direction OF the
department of Labor, has set out to make census
of the nation s workngmen and to provide for dis
tribution Of them by means of local offices or cx
changes Help will be given by labor unions and
existing state organizations Evidence in support Of
the encouraging conclusion that supply is equal to
demand is found in published reports from all parts
Of the country In several large cities there is nei
Their surplus nor shortage. But in many places the
scales are not evenly balanced And in some indus
tries there applicants for work than can be
employed while in others the addition Of hundreds
is needed. The employment service must transfer
men from one state to another and satisfy the re-
a1irements of industries beginning with those which
are of vital Importance.
At the head of the list are the shpyards and the
factories where supplies are made. 1t has been
estimated that not less than 100000 workers should
be added to the shipbudng forces in the next four
or five months These, it is expected will be drawn
from a volunteer reserve OF mechanics for which
the emergency fleet corporation hopes to find
100000 men, taking majority OF these from indus
tries that may be called nonessential Provision for
the farms will be made but in this part of the EN-
ploymcnt service s task there can be some delay
The Importance of giving to the farmers sufficient
help in the coming spring cannot be overestimated.
It is realized in this state where Governor Whitman
suggests CONSUMPTION. On the other hand Senator
Brown at the head Of a committee which is to make
careful inquiry about farm needs, points out that
drafted men would be unwilling workers, and that
many of them would not be properly qualified. This
is true, and sufficient number Of volunteers may
be found if the state authorities cooperate with the
national employment service in search for them
Ships must be built and munitions must be pro-
duced, but at the same time farmers should be en-
couraged to make large crops. Those who are regis
tering, recruiting, and distributing workmen must
have in mind the needs Of agriculture York

Because of mail order business North Dakota is
losing each year the equivalent Of a city Of 1900
people.
Chairman Packard of the state tax commission
is authority for the statement that each year, $lO
100000 is sent out Of this state to eastern mail order
houses.
If this business had been retained here it would
have required 200 additional merchants each doing
an annual business Of $4,000 and requiring the ser
vices Of 1000 employees.
The mail order business represents direct none
tary loss to the state Of $3,0O0,00o the average
cost Of doing business and supporting these 200
employees; money which goes out Of the state never
returns.
For the remaining $7,0o0,Oo0 goods Of equal
value and not seconds could have been secured here
for the same price, had it not been for those who
thoughtlessly send their money out Of the state.
North Dakota today should be $3,0OOO00 richer than
it was last year. instead Of being 100000 poorer

Il appears now that instead of being negligent

AS shipping is the crucial thing in winning the

ITALIAN NAVAL HEADQUAR-

| Of the recent Italian naval exploit at
Pola show that it was one Of the most
audacious feats of the war, worthy to
rank with the British at Zeebrugge
and the Merrimac at Santiago.
Plans were long matured by Lieut..
Commander Pellegrini, who adopted
unusual means of secrecy to safe
guard the project. To divert attention
he took service in the trenches on the
Piave. and when ready to start gave
out that he was going to visit his
friends. He was accompanied by an
other officer and two sailors.
The party was escorted by destroy
ers and arrived at Pola at 2 o'clock in
the morning. 1t was very dark, as
the moon had been down two hours.
A light wind blew off shore, which
prevented the sounds of preparation
going landward. The entrance to the
channel was 400 yards across, with a
long neck leading into the great har-

battleships. cruisers and destroyers.
