FACE LABOR SHORTAGE.
Iowa Manufacturers Generally Fail 70
Respond to Query Regarding Labor
Conditions-NearIy 1000 Laborers
Will Be Needed in Next Two Months.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 29.-Iowa manu-
facturers are facing a serious shortage
In labor State Labor Commissioner A.
l.. Urick announced today after check
ing UP on the replies sent in by Iowa
manufacturers to the federal inquiry
concerning the amount of unskilled
labor needed now and IN the next sixty
days. Only twenty nine out Of 120 Iowa
manufacturers with war contracts re-
piled to this inquiry.
The government has the figures on
the amount of unskilled labor available
in Iowa and since comparatively few
manufacturers have expressed their
needs the government win take it for
granted that the few called for are all
that are needed here and will send the
rest elsewhere declared Commissioner
Uriek In commenting ON conditions.
The twenty-nine manufacturers re-
plying declared that 345 white men and
SO colored men were necessary for
present needs and estimated that 44s
white men and 81 colored men were
necessary for the coming two
months. Commissioner Urick made an
estimate for those not sending in re-
plies so that the state would be in some
measure protected from too heavy a
call from outside sources. He placed
the total needs for the next two months
at 1851 men,
The government requested that these
estimates as to help needed be turned
In by July 20. Commissioner Urick
was required to send in these estimates
on that date to the government employ
ment service at Washington.
1t is announced that after Aug. hir-
ing of unski1led labor shall be done
thru the United States employment
service. which in Iowa will be of the
state-federal employment service. State
and federal employment bureau are
now In operation at Cedar Rapids,
Council Bluffs. Creston, Davenport, Des
Motnes, Mason City. Ottumwa, Sioux
City and Waterloo. It il probable en-
ployment bureaus will be opened in at
least three other cities of the state.
Commissioner Urick declares that the
use Of this service Is an absolute nee
essity aS means to further the war
aims of the government and that en-
ployers should apply for help at their
nearest office.
