The demand for women workers
Is said 20 be about normal ONLY in
few isolated cases have they re-
placed men called 20 the cOlors. A
few plants engag ed or war contracts
have employed large numbers OF
women without difficulty.
Have Teacher Shortage.
Many women teachers are said
10 be leaving the school rooms for
more remunerative employment and
the draft has drawn 50 heavily upon
the already scant supply of men
teachers that several states report
the situation alarming for next year.
a survey Of 81 states just completed
by the professional service division
Of the federal bureau shows that
during, the present school year West
Virginia was forced TO close between
$50 and 200 schools because of the
scarcity of teachers. In Montana
and Wyoming about two dozen
schools were closed for the same
reason. while New Hampshire.
North Caroline, Delaware, MISSES
sippi. Alabama, New Mexico, South
Dakota, Wisconsin and Indiana re-
port a marked shortage. The bu-
reau has 700 teachers applications
and 500 vacancies listed, but a large
percentage Of those seeking posi-
tions. it is pointed out. are not quail
fed for work in the departments
where the greatest deficiency exists.
To cope with what is expected TO
be an unprecedented railroad labor
shortage later in the year, a new de-
partment of the United states en-
ployment service has been organized
TO handle railroad labor for the
western regional district. BY order
OF Director-Gen. McAdoo the rail-
roads have abolished their labor bu-
reaus and the government agency
will recruit their men as well as di-
rect the distribution. In event Of
an acute shortage of workers in
maintenance of way departments, IL
is planned to suspend work not abb
solUtely necessary and send men
from these locations TO points where
they are more urgently needed. A
great number of laborers are said
10 have left the roads because Of the
higher wages they can obtain in
mines or factories.
Farm Help Satisfactory.
So far the farmers OF the central
west and northwest have had little
difficulty in finding enough help.
Most of them demand experienced
hands but are being urged by en-
ployment officials 10 accept more
men from the public service reserve,
which consists for the most part OF
students. In a few western states
the harvest labor question is being
taken up by communities. each
community mobilizing emergency
workers TO help nearby farmers. Mo-
bile forces of harvesters are also be-
ing organized TO begin with the
Kansas winter wheat harvest and
move northward through the Dako-
tas and other northwestern states
where the wheat is ready for cutting
after the Kansas harvest is over.
These men. with the hands avail
able from the public service reserve,
are expected TO furnish ample farm
labor

plOyment bureau is a department
