that if suitable building can be OBJ
tanned in Elko. as stated in the above
article, Winnemucca will lose the re-

SHORTAGE
IN THE SPRING
Jobs VIII Be Hunting Men the
United States Officials
In Washington
Say

Washington, Feb. 8.-Fears Of long
continued unemployment were dis
counted Sat. in a statement by the
training service Of the department Of
labor, which predicted that when agri-
cultural and industrial concerns get
under way in the spring, there will be
a shortage of several million men.
Manufacturers were urged to begin at
once training program to increase
the efficiency Of the help they now
have in anticipation Of the shortage
to come later. The statement said that
practical cessation of immigration in
the last four years had caused loss
of 2,50O,O00 new inhabitants and that
probably 100000 American workers
would be under arms in France for
many months. Estimating that farms
in the spring would need 100000
workers and that factories and build
ing operations would require large
numbers, officials said there soon
would be keen competition between
factories and farmers for unskilled
labor.
Similar views were expressed to-
day before the house appropriation
committee by Assistant Secretary OF
Labor Post, and John B. Densmore,
director general of the federal en-
ployment service. Thep appeared to
urge an appropriation of $14,O0O.OOO
for the work Of the employment ser
vice during the next fiscal year and
an emergency appropriation Of ST.
100000 for this year.
