LABORERS RETURNING SOUTH

SIOUX CITY, Iowa.-A super
abundance of manual labor is among
the discouraging factors that is likely
to obtain during the coming winter
months in the northwest, yesterday
predicted J. w. Holmes, examiner for
the Sioux City employment agency.
While the demand for laborers
may be active at times the frequency
of the calls during the fall months is
not likely to be repeated. Many OF
the laborers who went north through
Sioux City to the harvest fields of the
northwest are now returning to the
