Labor shortage was the chief obstacle en-
countered by the quarrymen in 1918, although
difficulty in obtaining fuel and supplies as
we'll as in transportation was reported. Over
SIS per cent of the material used in the manu-
facture of grindstones was sandstone
quarred in Ohio, and the remainder was
sandstone Quarried in Michigan and West
Virginia. The pulpstones sold in 1918 from
sandstone quarrcd in Ohio aud West
Virginia amounted to S,7S5 tons. valued at
S513, $50, an increase of nearly 26 per cent
in quantity and of SO per cent in value The
supply did not exceed the demand, and very
little stock was left over for 1919.
