WHERE SHALL OUR
LABOR COME FROM?

Mark Sullivan, editor OF Colliers
Weekly, estimates shortage OF
man-power in our country on ac-
count OF war conditions OF fifteen
million men.
The proposals for alleviating the
famine in man-power can be summed
up in the following propositions, that
are not advocated here, but stated:
1. Conscription-draft all males
from IS to so and put them at work
under government direction.
3. Take up slack-avoid all
wastage Of man power. work longer
hours and economize on labor we
have.
8. Bring in labor from China OF
Russia until after the period Of the
war as France and England have
done.
The governmental labor depart
ment has already suspended all re
strictions on labor immigration from
Mexico, Porto Rico and Canadial
possessions and may extend the en-
couragement Of immigration to othe
countries
