EDITORIALS,


Touching upon the subject of propaganda to keep
up prices which "The Oasis treated edtorialy yester
day, there point that omitted in order to
leave the subject open to call attention to the matter
again today: That is the fact that frequently the paid
propaganda pleads shortage in the supply of labor
for delay getting production back pre-war
basis The claim is that so many men were taken out
from this, that the other industry that sufficient
workmen cannot be found to fill all the jobs and do all
the work
To the mind of this editor that is camouflage also
the armies that sent to France have been deobi
zed and the War Department reports that of the four
million drawn to the colors all have been demobi
lied practically all of them. Then the great forces
of workers that drawn into the muntion factories
have all been realised to return to whatever line of
work they filled before the Added to all those is
the great army OF women workers who drawn from
what were considered feminine enlpoyments to what
were considered masculine employments. Like women
fthe Civil War time they filled places of men who had
taken guns and gone to fight; and they remained time
at least in employments purely industrial for time
after the war.
Taking all these factors into consideration there can
be truth in the assertion of scarcity of labor In fact
while returning from the have been absorbed
into industrial pursuits rapidly, there yet less
work being done to secure employment for men who
have returned from the army and not yet placed.
Every day mention in newspapers of returned
soldiers wanting employment
In this particular Nogaes has done well by the men
who have returned from the colors Not only have those
who went from Nogales found places, most them in
the jobs they held before patriotism called them but
number of others who went from other parts of Arizona
fro mother states have found places here. Among
those concerns who have placed former employees who

We have fixed the pay of jurors
