there is simply shortage Of skilled labor, or
even a surplus"
Individual cases Of unemployment do not show
in the labor market situation like that in the
commodity markets, where great government &C
cumulations threaten price stability and contract
settlements are delayed for billions of dollars
There is no such sentiment in the adjustment of
commodity troubles as in the unemployment of
the men who made sacrifices to serve their fellow
men over here and over there. Everybody ex-
poets the government to take its losses in the
commodity market without reluctance, but no.
body is or would be heard to say that preference
should be given to unemployed workers who have
enjoyed the highest wages ever known at home
over the soldier lads who put all that behind at
their country's call. The heart of the west is at
least as warm for the returning soldiers as the
heart Of the east, which has been mentioned in
some detail because there is more information
here about it. For example, in Indiana all en-
ployers were canvassed, and 80 per cent of the
country districts said that places would be made
for all old workers. In the city districts there
were like replies from only IS per cent. Many
Of the per cent exceptions were explained on
such natural causes as alteration in the business,
and in other cases there was reconsideration on
the ground that experience had made the
worker better man. The government itself has
not made as good progress in returning COM
Wandered properties to their old activities.
The wish is father of the hope that these re-
ports are true and will continue to be true. While
it is idle to deny that labor is commodity in
market sense, few wish the labor and commodity
markets to be alike in lack of human feeling.
Employers whose heads and hearts are both used
find better response from the hands which are
needed to make factories productive. Welcomes
home by parades, flags and lights are excellent,
but no substitute for open doors to work. Glad
hands are not to be dsparaged, but places on the
pay roll are better. Employers will find profit
in taking the advice to Christmas shoppers, that
early buyers find best assortment and fullest
supplies. York Times.

Labor Reconstruction

The readjustment of labor seems to be pro-
ceeding more smoothly and quickly than many
have feared. The Federal Director of the United
States Employment Service for this state Henry
Bruere, says that not per cent of the war work
ers released from war industries lack work. For
the last week 1921 registered for work and
were offered 10000 jobs. Three-fourths of the
returning soldiers are placed within fortnight
of their return. One example is that of the Rem
ington arms plant at lion. Last Monday it shut
down on war work, and announced that it would
start on sporting goods next week. The plant
employs $4,000 men. At the great munitions
center, Bridgeport, the Remington Cartridge
Company stopped at the same time, and asked
all its old employees to report the day after New
Years for preference in unemployment.
The reports from Washington are better yet
Telegraphic reports from forty-one states say
that there are vacancies for seven times more
men than women workers, and that there are
more jobs than workers. During the week 1872
1893 asked for work, and there were 273, 636 calls
Tor workers. The department offered employ
ment to all asking. and employers accepted "a 026
1t is true that the environments discharged more
men than there were jobs available, but $4,000
of the discharged men placed themselves, and
there was an actual shortage. The survey of the
Merchants Association resembles the Federal re-
ports. "In some cases there is an actual short
