scouts BLAMED
FOR Labor Shortage
Mr.. Saylor Complains OF
Employment Agencies
Taking Laborers
ALSO SAYS MEN
LOSE TOO MUCH TIME

That the activity Of Scouts" for pri-
yRte employment agencies has caused
much Of the labor shortage, Is the
opinion OF John C. Saylor, district su-
perintendent OF the United States En-
plOyment Service, Department OF Labor,
after an investigation OF conditions
here and In many Pennsylvania cities.
These scouts draw the lab0rers from
one plant TO another.
To procure the coordination OF mu-
nicipal. State and federal employment
services. the United States government
has divided the country Into thirteen
zones. Mr.. Saylor, whose headquar-
ters are at the southwest corner OF
Sixth and King streets, Wilmington, Is
the head OF Zone No. 3, which embraces
Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Mr.. Saylor says that n men work
steadily, instead OF two, three, four or
Ave days a week, as many are doing
now, and II the pernlcious activity OF
labor scouts" were stopped, the labor
situation would be greatly relieved, II
not solved. AS a result OF the activity
OF these scouts" the labor turnover
In the country has increased, In some
sections, TO as high as 700 per cent. a
year, Mr.. Saylor said. Before the out
break OF the war the turnover OF COM
mon laborers averaged about 40 per
cent. a month, or a total OF approx
mstely i20 per cent. year for the ma
ton. Today. Mr.. Saylor said. the turn
over averages from 20 20 100 per cent.
The Philadelphia Metropolitan District.
which includes Philadelphia, Camden,
Bristol and Gloucester, cities In which
shipyards are located and upon whose
undisturbed output the success OF the
governments shipping program largely
depends has been hit by the activity
OF private employment agents worse
than any other section Of the country,
Mr.. Saylor said.
Reports received by Mr.. saylor from
sixteen Pennsylvania cities show, he
said. that II men worked six days a
week the common labor problem In
their towns would be solved. The la
Dor shortage IN Pittsburgh and Coates
VILE is due 30 unsteady work, and II
a plan were devised In these communi-
ties as result OF which the workers
would stick to their jobs six days a
week there would be no scarcity OF
laborers
Activities OF the scouts" however.
Mr.. Saylor said, are not confined ex-
olusively to unskilled workers. Where
ever large establishments are con-
Quoted, whether these are engaged In
the production OF war essentials or
whether they are working upon nom
essentials, the scouts" 1ock there and
draw the workers away to fl orders
for other plants throughout the coun-
try.

WATSON SALES STABLE.
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Seventeen Horses Perish in Flames
Early Wednesday Morning

Seventeen horses perished In the
fire which, shortly after midnight
Tuesday, destroyed the sales stable of
Wesley l.. Watson, situated at the
corner of Court and Winter streets.
When the alarm was rung in the en-
tire building was in flames, and must
have been burning for some time.
There was no one staying in the
stable, and the origin of the fire is
unknown. Besides the horses, there
we're some farming tools, harnesses
and - tons of hay. Almost nothing
was saved The stock owned by
Wesley l.. Watson, was covered by
insurance. The building, which was
owned by Clyde H. Smith, and was
formerly the old lleselton House
stables, was fully insured for $4,000.
Mr. WatsOn's loss is estimated at
about $4,000 He has been in this
business for the last five years, and
has dealt principally in western
horses He expects to resume busi-
ness in the near future, and will an
nounce more definite plans later.
