WAGES UNIFORMLY HIGHER AND
ONLY ONE STRIKE THREAT
ENED SERIOUS RESULTS.

Des Moines, Jan. 3.-1Owa exper
fenced one of its most successful years
in the matter OF labor conditions IN
its history, according to Ambrose
Urick, state labor commissioner.
"The only real labor shortage that
has been experienced during the year,
said the commissioner in sketching the
labor conditions for the year, has
been the shortage Of skilled workmen
in the metal trades. This same condl'
)tion has existed throughout the United
States.
"The condition grew out of the war
The government has taken over SO
many of the skilled workmen that
many of the private industries have
suffered"
Only One Serious Strike
Commissioner Urick SAID that during
the year there had been only one labor
strike which might have brought about
seroius situation. He named it as
the strike OF railroad men in the
Great Western shops at Oelwein.
There has been a general increase
in wages throughout Iowa." said the
commissioner. "Wages in the country
increased proportionately more than
wages in the cities. A year ago farm
ers were paying an average wage
ranging from $50 to $35 month.
Farm wages ranged from $40 to $45
this year."
Commissioner Urick said that farm
wages about Des Moines had not at
any time had been more than $35 a
month. He said that this condition
was due to the bright lights at the
capital. The labor bureaus had no oil
ficulty in supplying laborers to farm
res In the Des Moines district, he said.
Plants for War Orders.
The commissioner said that there
was now a movement on in the STATE
among the manufacturers to turn tnelr
factories to the filling Of war orders.
However, one of the largest firms 10
turn to the filling Of war orders was
