The "Hired Help" Problem.

The Department Of Labor is giving
very serious attention to the prob
lens created by the increasing short
age of unskilled labor in the United
States. The threat of a hired help"
famine in agricultural districts causes
special anxiety. The supply OF farm
laborers is rapidly dwindling. This
is not due to the army draft. Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder an
nounced last December that less than
per cent of the experienced crop
producers had been called TO The
colors. Men are being lured from
rural districts, however. by the ad
vertising campaigns that direct at
tention to the high wages paid in fac
tories and other war Industries. 1t {.
apparent that this drain must be off
set IL America is to continue the re-
sponsible Job of feeding a part OF
Europe in addition to the Sopula ton
of the United States. Importation OF
unskilled labor is the one hope. The
President has let down the immigra-
tiOn bars for this specific purpose. hut
the important question is the source
OF supply. Some government experts
object to japanese labor. merely on
the grounds that the high Intelligence
and adaptability of the Japanese
would cause the swift conversion OF
such immigrants into skilled laborers.
This. of course. would be helpful to
Industries, but would continue the
farmers handicap. Consequently there
is growing sentiment in favor OF
the Importation OF Chinese and Mex
ican poems. UnQuestionably. heroic
steps must be taken next fall and
winter to insure a full production OF
the large American crops that have
become absolutely necessary to the
successful prosecution OF the WAT

October cotton at S7A cents a pound
registered a new high for the staple.
Two major influences on stocks, and
bonds as well. were even better war
news than we have been accustomed
to for weeks past and a remarkable
scarcity of stock offerings at current
levels. In brokerage circles the hope
was ventured that Acting Chairman
McGarrah, Of the money pool COM
mittee. would see fit in future to give
out hints as to the probable course OF
the market. Today's course Of prices
certainly confirmed all Mr.. McGarrah
had to say last week about the possl-
bilities ''in view OF the present prog
ress OF the allied armies"
No Rise in Call Loans.
Whether activity today viii be
classed by our money pilots as a dis
position to indulge in speculative COM
mitments" on borrowed funds will be
answered by the weeks course OF
rates for call loans. The money COM
mittee met today, but call funds were
available at per cent and no indi-
cation was given that the reserve
bank intends to follow the suggestion
of the American Bankers Associa tion
Journal that the reserve bank. raise

As stocks closed at the top, after
several new high records for the
