HEAVY DEMAND
FOR LABORERS
FOR HARVESTING
Those Holding Out For
Higher Wage to be Replac-
ed by Imported Men.

with threshing becoming more
general throughout this district, we
have a large demand for farm labor
ers who will be given employment
free through our government employ
ment Office" stated A. w. Chalker,
special agent of the department OF
labor, this afternoon The office is
located on the second floor of the
court house.
Although the Office has been placing
from fifty to eighty-fve men daily.
there is still a large demand from the
IA -mers of this district for men. Mr..
Chalker did not ave as large a force
to draw. from this morning as he had
expected, owing to the fact that many
farmers came to Grand Forks and
picked up men without the assistance
of the employment ofic
Profitcerins Laborers.
There are a number of men staying
in Grand Forks who are making a
concerted effort to boost the wages for
farm labor to practically double the
prevailing wage. These men are re-
fusing to go out for less than their
labor available and this attempt at
proNteering will not be serious, in the
opinion Of farmers and employment
agencies.
Edgar I. Olsen, county employment
agent, has wired to Minneapolis and
Fargo for large shipments of men
who viii arrive here in the near fu-
ture and be placed OF farms in Grand
Forks and surrounding counties. The
arrival Of these men, whosare willing
to work TO-. the prevailing wage. viii
entirely offset the holding out of the
men who demand the almost double
wage.
