POLISH INDUSTRIES
 SUFFER BEVERLY

Next to the textiles, mining is the principal industry in Poland, and this has suffered severely owing to the war. According to Berlin news paper article, transmitted by Conner cial Attache Erwin w. Thompson, Copenhagen Denmark. coal mines that Russia started to open before 1914 have been operated by the German militar" government. The iron indus try has fallen off, tahe smelting works being greatly handicapped. The zinc and other metal industries and the cement works are being only partly worked. Few of the glass works are now running. In Warsaw the sugar industry and all others cen tered in the city have been greatly reduced in activity.

CUBA'S LABOR
 PROBLEM SERIOIJS

Cuba has found labor problem hardly less serious than that of the United States. The Cuban Govern ment has been obliged to act in the effort o relieve the present great shortage there, and has agreed to ad- vance half the cost of bringing the labor to that country.
 In 1907. there were 57,O97 immi- grants entering Cuba, 34,795 of whom came from Spain and the Canary Is- lands. Just as the United States De- partment Of Labor is bringing Porto Rican labor to this country, Cuba has drawn upon the islands of the West Indies, 1O,136 Haitians and 1889 Ja- maicans having entered Cuba during 1917.
 An encouraging feature of the Gu ban labor situation is the steady in- crease n arrivals of Spanish and Can ary Island immigrants, although at this time of the year there is usually a falling off.
