LABOR SHORTAGE
Predicted by Year 1920
in i. S.
Will Be Scarcity Of Help Even After
Return Of Soldiers to Civil Life
Disposition Everywhere to Give
Jobs to Returned Boys

New York, May 2.-Notwithstand-
ing the return Of the men Of the
American Expeditionary Forces. the
country will be confronted by q
shortage Of labor by 1920 in the opin-
ion Of Cole mel Arthur Woods. ex-
pressed here today.
Basing his conviction both on his
own investigation Of the industrial
situation from the Mississippi rive.
to the Atlantic seaboard and as far
south as Baltimore. and on reports
made to him here today by men,
bers of the board of directors of the
National Association Of Employment
Managers, Col. Woods declared that
employers, everywhere were showing
a disposition to give jobs to dis
charged soldiers and sailors, and that
the time was approaching when ev-
cry man released from service ~vu'si
be at work and there would be posi-
tions urifilled.
Reports made by the employment
managers. who Colonel Woods ad-
dressed at a meeting here. showed
that already there are labor short
ages at a number Of great industrial
centers, including Detroit and Flint.
Mich. and Akron. Ohio. and that
labor shortage is in sight in
Cleveland. Speaking of the New
England district, Colonel Woods
said:
-. c. Bower Of the Boston district
said every company in that ustrict
had adopted the policy of taking
men back. that the people all found
that the spirit OF the soldiers was
good and that the soldiers were all
playing the game"
He added similar reports were made
from all Industrial centers. In New
England employment managers were
pledged to give preference in employ
ment to soldiers. taking back all their
men. not at the wages which prevailed
two years ago. but at the present scale.
Some companies were counting military
and naval service as service in those
companies and were raising wages and
giving bonuses accordingly.
II talked to these managers" he said.
telling them l wanted employers 20
realize that the discharged soldier was
the best man they could have in their
employ: that it would pay them. inso-
far as they could carry them. to take
back discharged soldiers even if they
did not need them, to provide against
the time when there would be moro
jobs than applicants"
Chambers Of Commerce throughout
the country. reports of the employ
ment managers showed, were cooperat-
ing with the department Of labor's en-
ployment service and with the war and
navy departments in procuring work
for returning fighters.
At the conference the employment
managers adopted resolutions reafirm-
ing their policy and they will appoint
an employment manager in every large
industrial center to cooperate with Col.
Woods agents throughout the country.
