MEN FOR MINING
Employers Being Asked to Make known Their
Needs in Men--Millions Engaged in Manu-
features for the Government Will be
Directed to Places When Men are Wanted.

The United States government is
making inquiries from employers as
to the needs of the latter in the line
of labor, as there will be a great
many men who will no longer be
needed in many lines having to do
with war materials, say the Trade
Papers. The munition factories will
not be conducted at their former
pressures. Heretofore they have
been operated night and day to meet
the demand from General Pershing.
Many men and women have been en-
gagged in the making of munitions,
and at very high rates of wages, this
being due to the needs of the gov
eminent. Big wages attracted the
labor which came from all portions
of the country. No other country
paid any such wages as did the I'm
tied States, and none other turned
out such a quantity of material in so
brief a time. Some of the work
was of a hazardous nature and this
was paid for according to the risks
run.
In the great ordnance making
plants many men will be let out as
the need of cannon and guns of
smaller calibre is not now apparent.
1t was announced as early as three
days after the armistice had been
signed that there were $4,000 work
men who had been engaged in the
gas and flame department who were
available for other duties. The men
and women had been receiving from
$50 to 500 week.
And so it goes throughout long
list of labor-employing departments
of the government. The desire is to
place these workers where they may
be needed in lines having to do with
the production of peace-time articles
The mines are generally short
handed and present deficiencies will
undoubtedly soon be made up. Many
of the young miners enlisted or were
drafted at the outset of our declar-
alton of war with Germany and these
will be coming back as they are re-
ieved from their present occupation
as fighting men. There are about
2,250,000 men from the United
States in France and other European
countries in our army and con-
siderable number in the navy, and
nearly as many more in our training
camps in the states.It is probable that
there soon will be nearly one-half
this number available for peace work.
The ship building is to proceed, as
usual it is given out, and this in
dustry employs a very large number
of men and uses great tonnage of
steel, which directly concerns the
Lake Superior iron ore producer.
Our ship building has been the won
der of the world. From practically
a very small equipment for this work
we are now at the fore. We have at
Hog Island the largest shipyard in
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-11-29

they have been earning big wages as
compared to those formerly gained
through domestic employment.
There has been considerable dis
cussion as to what disposition shall be
made of the men who are brought
back from France and other coun-
cries overseas, but the great major
ity of them will step right back into
the places they left when they went
to war, this being well understood
by their former employers. There
is a certain number of ''work or
fight" men who may return to their
old vacations of loafing, but if they
desire employment they can find it,
because there will be need of more
than the number who will be re-
turned for many months. 1t may be
that the training has done this ele-
ment good so that they will in the
future desire to be industrious.
The production of airplanes will
be cut down heavily. This depart
ment of the governments war ac-
Invites was finally placed in strong
hands and rapid Roadway was made.
John d. Ryan, head of the great An
aconda Copper company, was re-
sponsble for bringing airplanes to a
practical development. There were
many American planes in France
when the war ended, and Americans
had credit for bringing down several
hundred German fiiers, using Am
erican planes in the attacks. The
discontinuance of this production will
mean the cutting down of Liberty
motors on which several thousand
men were engaged in producing. 1t
has also already dispensed with the
spruce production regiments that
were engaged in securing spruce for
airplane construction. There is call
for all the woodsmen who can be
obtained, and this class of labor will
find no difficulty in securing work.
There has been a great shortage of
woodsmen for several years.
The manufacture of motors for
army use has already been cut heavL
lily, while on the other hand there
is to be big gain in pleasure cars
and trucks for domestic purposes.
From now on pleasure car makers are
to be permitted to manufacture up
to rs per cent of their former out
put which insures all automobile
workers place.
The iron and copper mines of the
Lake Superior and other. regions in
the United States producing these
ores and metals will find a ready
market for years in the upbuilding of
war-torn countries. France has
just placed an order with us for
100000 tons of steel, which will re-
quire 100000 tons of iron ore, and
this is only the beginning of many or
ders that will follow from that
country. Our own market is bare of
steel for structural purposes, as all
the mills have been engaged in turn
ing out steel for war work, and it is
going to take a very large tonnage
to provide for present demands in
the building line. Our railways are
all in need of locomotives and rolling
stock, and demand on the mines is
certain to be heavy for some time.

Liberty bonds made another new
