THREE HUNDRED AND
 FOURTEEN SOLDIERS
 ARE IN OLD PLACES
According to Report of Local Depart ment of Labor, 33 in Pine Bluff and 226 ik Jefferson County.

There are 88 business concerns in
 Pine Bluff, and 226 concerns in the county which have taken back into
 their employ men who have been lf the service of the United States gov ernment during the past emergency,
 and who have been discharged since
 the armistice was signed.
 The above figures were given out yesterday by the local office of the
 Department of Labor, Dave S.. Wells in charge. MT. Wells, with the as
 sistance of Miss Augusta Reynolds, who is in the Public Service Reserve, ] and Miss Henderson, of the Depart ment of Labor, compiled the figures
 in order to complete a report to the Department of Lahor at Washington. These reports are called for from time to time, so that the government may let men out of the service in pro- 1 portion commensurate to the amount
 of employment which is available, as it is the policy of the War Depart ment not to return men from the ser, i vice until there are jobs for them to l return to. This does not mean that
 those who are held, all of them, are
 unable to find employment in civil ] life, as the discharging of men is, of course, also dependent on the need for | them in the service.
 1 Miss Reynolds interviewed all of ] the firms of the city and county per- l sonally, and she says that all of the l firms stated that they would take
 back all former employees, and that she had not found a single firm which 1 had failed to re-employ when the
 men came back for their jobs. Many
 concerns have signified their willing
 ness to employ new men who have been in the service, should the busi- ] ness warrant the taking on of extra
 employees. The local bureau of labor
 has been complimented highly by au-
 thorities at Washington on the show
 ing they have made in this county in
 securing employment for the return
 ed men of the service.
 Probably the largest employer is
 the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber Co. !, J. M. Sowards, manager, stated that
 it was the policy of this concern to ] make place for all former employees who wish jobs. He has already em- ployed over twenty-five such, and
 states that his plan is to show every
 preference to the men who were in
 the service.
 l A glance at the report filed by Mr. Wells shows an interesting diversity
 of occupations. Among those who
 have returned, there are laborers,
 bookkeepers, collectors, clerks, me-
 chanics, salesmen, drug clerks. phar- macists, reporters. truck drivers,
 identities, stenographers and barbers. The action of the business men of the city and county is highly com mendable. It shows that they appre-
 ciate the debt of gratitude to the men
 who answered the call to the colors,
 and that after standing behind the
 boys during the period of emergency, they "carry on" with their patriotism
 in solid, sound, and sane, manner.

WOMEN WORKERS.

In almost every line of war acti- vities Sthe women of this dountry have done well and have taken front rank for doing work that released thousands of men for service over- seas. Some women have been over. ambitious and, at the .epense xof their health, have filled places once occuped by men. Every woman who, because of overwork. has brought on some ailment peculiar to her sex, should depend upon Lydia E.

The note demands a plebiscite for towns almost exclusively German, such as Marburg, Radkersburg, Klagen- furt, Villach, Bozen and Bruneck. It asserts that the young republic must form part either of the Danube con- federation by Union with other new born states, or be attached to Ger many, and then gives reason against the former course, declaring that an attachment with Germany is the only possibility.
 The German-Austrian government says it hopes that the United States and the Entente will support it's policy and that place will be given it in the peace conference.

STILL HIGHER PRICES
FOR SHOES PREDICTED
Investigation by Grand Jury
Brings Out Fact That Specu1a-
ton in Hides Is a Factor.

BOSTON, August 19.,-An advance
of SO or So a pair in the retail price
of shoes next spring was predicted
yesterday by a witness before the
county grand jury, which is investi-
eating shoe prices.
A staple shoe of one manufacturer,
which before the war cost him $3.50.
now is listed at 1895 at the factory.
The average profit of the shoe re-
taller was placed at 5 to per cent,
and of the manufacturer, 2 to 3 per
cent
Another witness said that specula-
ton in hides by New York brokers
had tended to increase the price ma
terially.
Witness agreed, the district .attor-
ney said that the packers did not
control the price of hides, but were
important factors in the market.
Possible relief from the shortage of
hides was seen. by one witness in in
creased shipping which would permit
more: of the raw material to be
brought from foreign markets. Nor
mally, he said, 20,000,000 goat skins
were imported annually from India
but none had been received since the
war, indicating an accumulation in
that country which could be used to
relieve the shortage here, with a con-
sequent decided drop in price.
