marshes will not rent at any price but
will hire boys and trap on their own
account One trapper in Prime Hook
Neck sold this season more than $500
worth OF rat pellets. A number OF
other trappers. who have sold to deal
ers in Milford. got more than $1,000
from small marshes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Failure of
manufacturers to increase wages in

our Industrial structure" according to
Roger w. Babson. special agent Of
the employment service OF the depart
rnent of labor. whose views gained
during q recent trip through the west,
are set forth today in an employment
service bulletin.
Although starting his trip with the
idea of educating the workers to the
needs Of the present situation, Mr..
Babson says he returned with the
idea that the manufacturers, especial
ly those In some localities need fully
as much missionary work as do
workers.
''The labor difficulty at present Is
one Of improper distribution rather
than of shortage. The complaints Of
manufacturers, l found, have arisen
not SO much from their difficulty in
obtaining labor. but In their difficulty
in obtaining 1t at the prices which the
manufacturers desire to pay. My prin-
cipal difficulty was in convincing
manufacturers Of the increase In the
cost of living to wage earners and In
the reasonableness of advancing
wages.
"The manufacturers who are not
complaining about paying advances Of
100 percent or more for materials
which they must use, are strenuously
objecting to paying fraction Of this
advance in wages.
I'm many ways manufacturers are
more liberal than wage earners. They
