Skilled Labor already
Scarce, Say Employers;
Shortage Is Predicted

present shortage of skilled labor
in many of the main industrial sec
tons of this country, with the posi-
biity tf a general labor shortage be-
fore the end of 1919, was one Of the
conditions disclosed yesterday at
meeting Of the executive committee of
the National Association of Employ

the Machinery Club. so Church Street.
Colonel Arthur Woods, former Police
mmissioner, as representative of
the Federal Employment Service, and
A. Muhlhauser. Of the Baltimore Dry
Dock and Shipbuilding Company, also
spoke before the meeting on the
problem of placing the returning SOL
dler without creating a new unemploy-
ment problem
According to members Of the execu
tive committee in touch with labor
conditions in manufacturing districts
cast Of the Mississippi River, skilled
iaoor IS already extremely scarce, par
ucularly in the automobile manufact.
urlng industry This condition, thew
say, is complicated by the slow return
and demobiization of skilled men and
the tendency Of many discharged SOL
dlcrs not to seek jobs in their former
communities.
nav ,Hcre are plenty OF Jobs for all
returned soldiers was the positive as
sertion of the executive committoe
which has unanimously observed that
1t IS Tar less difficult to get the soldier
a JOB than to make him satisfied with
the job offered him.
On behalf of the Federal Employ
ment Service, Colonel Woods addressed

Head of Citizens Union
Charges Libel in State
ment He Violated Law in
Manufacture of Narcotics
Mayors Letter Quoted
correspondence to Copeland
Called Union ''Bunk'' and
''Paper'' Organization

William Jay Schieffelin, chairman Of
the Citizens Union, yesterday through
his counsel, Clarence NJ. Lewis. of
Seligsburg, Lewis & Stouse, 43 Cedar
Street, began libel suit against Mayor
Hylan for 100000 damages. The sum
mons and complaint were served on
the Mayor. Grover Whalen, secretary
to the Mayor, said that he assumed
Corporation Counsel Burr would defend
the action.
On April % DR.. Schieffeln wrote the
Mayor demanding retraction of the
Mayors charge, among other things,
that Schieffelin & Co. were a law
breaking concern, and that it was one
of the chief manufacturers and dealers
in cocaine, heroin, morphine and
opium in New York. The Mayor also
said that DR.. Schie ieffelin's organization,
the Citizens Union, was a bunk" and
paper" organization.
Mayors Letter Quoted
The action against the Mayor is
based on letter the Mayor sent to
Health Commissioner Copeland on
April Is, in which the Mayor expressed
the hope that Commissioner Copeland
will continue to frighten the drug
gists who traffic in narcotics" and
eventually to get to the wholesalers
and manufacturers of these drugs"
Continuing, the Mayors letter says,
in part:
"Schieffelin & Co., the firm Of
which William Jay Schieffelin is
senior member and chairman of the
Citizens' Union, so-caled reform
political organization, is one of the
chief narcotic drug manufacturers
and dealers in cocaine, heroin, NOR
phine and opium in New York.
while Schieffelin & Co.'S drug
concern is manufacturing and selling
these dangerous habit forming drugs
FOR financial gain hundreds of our
young men are using such drugs and
becoming addicts and committing
crimes, some going insane. The po-
lice of the city are kept busy appre-
hendng drug addicts who commit
crime as result of its use.

OF the paper organization called the
