SEES LABOR SCARCE
WITHIN NINE MONTHS
Curtis Employment Manager
BIames Influenza Epidemic and
immigration Restrictions

That a serious labor shortage will
I probably strike this country within the
next nine months or a year was the
prediction made by Earl r. Morgan,
manager of the employment department
of the Curtis Publishing Company. at
the banquet of the Philadelphia Club
of the Printing House Craftsmen in the
blue room of the Bingham last night.
The predicted shortage, according to Mr..
Morgan, will be due to our losses in the
war, the deaths caused by influenza aud
the loss of 100000 immigrants who
formerly came to our shores each year.
Modern methods and common sense
In the relations between employers and
employed were discussed by Mr.. Morgan
last night. He sketched the develop
ment of business organization from the
time of the one man concern to the
modern corporation with its numerous
specialized departments, including the
bureau of employment. Hiring and
firing has been the cause of great deal
of expense to business concerns. The
mere machinery of putting a mans
name on the payroll and taking it off
costs the average concern about So, -
he said.
employers expect executives under
Z them to appreciate the value of men, to
have some knowledge of costs, to be
willing to accept suggestions. to be
loyal, to be able to organize their de-
partment so as to run without them,
and to train men in self expression.
Executives expect of their employers
continued Mr.. Morgan, that they be
open minded. that they consult them in
things affecting their departments and
that they equip their plants with the
best machinery and hire the best men

SHADLESS DELAWARE
LOOMS TO FISHERMEN
Government Must Restock the
Stream With Young Fish,
Assert Rivermen

Shad fishermen along the Delaware
fear that unless the government takes
some action toward restocking the river
with young fish. the shad will disap-
pear entirely from the waters. They
assert further that the sewerage and
pollution of the river is driving the
shad from their old haunts into clearer
waters.
They point out that not enough fish
!, have been caught this year between
Philadelphia and the Breakwater to
provide sufficient spawn to keep the
hatchery at Torresdale busy. and say
spawn will have to be obtained from
southern waters.
Fishermen are powerless to supply
the increased demand for shad, which
Is now up to So per plate at Jersey
planked shad dinner hotels. Fishermen
operating nets at Camden, Gloucester,
Billingsport and other nearby places
said today that the run of shad this
season is the poorest they have ever
known.
At Bayside, Pennsville and New Cas-
tie fair catches have been made, but not
enough to meet expenses or to supply
demand. The fish are bringing high
prices and no roe shad can be obtained
under 50 or $3.50.
Captain John Mclaughlin, of Glou.
cester, said today he has not caught a
shad this week.

Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf of the League
of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild in its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy of the League, and it was
in that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California's former
governor, now her, United States sena-
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920, had before the ar
rival of President Wilson, convinced
great number Of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
not good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because of it,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for asserting to
the possession by Japan of the PENN

BETTER CHICKENS IN SOUTH
Propitious Climate Enables Owner to
Produce Eggs to Better Advan-
tage-Some Obstacles.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Increased interest in poultry raising
in the general farming sections of the
South, with purchase of much better
stock, is reported by a specialist of the
United States department of ,agricul-
ture who recently investigated the
status and activities of Old Mother
Hen in Alabama, Louisiana, Missis
sNpi and Texas Producers are work
ing not only to supply the home mar
kct but eggs are also being shipped
from Mississippi, Alabama and Texas
to Memphis, st. Louis, New York and

The advantages Of the South for
poultry keeping are manifold, and in
clude a prOpitious climate, which en-
ables the flock owner to produce eggs
to better advantage during the winter

of simpler and cheaper houses than

spotted" due to fluctuatid4s in the
tourist traffic.
During the heat of summer egg
losses in the South aggregate con-
siderable sum, largely due to the de-
yelopment of fertile eggs. 1t is essen
tial that southern producers exert ev-
cry effort to produce and market only
infertile eggs in order to control this
source of loss. A common opinion pre-
walls that the'leghorns are particularly
adapted to southern conditions, but
according to the experience of the spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture southern poultry
men realize just as satisfactory re-
sults-and in many instances more IA
vOrable returns-from the maintenance
of the heavier general-purpose birds.
A number of failures in the poultry
business on the part of newcomers in
Florida, who embarked in specialized
production Of poultry products, are ex-
planned by the fact that most of them
were unfamiliar with local conditions
and started on too extensive a scale.

locality should always start on small
scale and expand his operations as he
learns more about local conditions and

WHITE-SHELLED EGG LAYERS
Fowls of Mediterranean Breeds Best

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Poultry of the Mediterranean or egg
breeds are best suited for the produc-
tion of white-shelled eggs. Repre-
sentatives of this class are bred large
ly for the production of eggs rather
than for meat production. Among the
popular breeds of this class are: Leg
horn. Minorca, AncOna, and Anda-
lusian. One of the outstanding char
acteristics of the egg breeds is the
fact that they are classed as nonsit-
ters. That is, as rule, they do not
become broody and hatch their eggs.
When fowls of this class are kept
artificial incubation and brooding are
usually employed.

low rate is undoubtedly due to the big
drop in mortality from influenza and

Influenza cases reported to the Health

Of 81 over Mondays figure. This in
crease is said to be due to the fact that
no cases were reported from Brooklyn

In the returns for Tuesday. This seems
to be borne out by yesterdays report,
which shows drop to sixty-sjx in the
