Drifting to the Cities.

Though the tabulation of the census
returns is by no means complete, it
has gone far enough to warrant the
census bureau in announcing some
rather disturbing facts.
For instance, the official estimate
is that more than quarter of the en-
tire population Of the country now
lives in cities Of more than a hundred
thousand
During the last ten years about six
and ahaf million people have moved
from farms or small towns to the
larger cities, thus depicting the coun-
try and building up the cities-many
Of which are already too large for the
good of the people living in them
Moreover, the rate Of the drift from
country to city has been much great

it was in the first half The count
which shows this condition was taken,
probably, when the tendency was in
full swing.

SHORTAGE

From Literary Digest)

When former dough-boys recover
inp from their after war restlessness
can not get work at their old trades
and drift into the recruiting booths
glad to get board and lodging from
Uncle Sam, it is a sign that the labor
shortage so marked at the end of the
war is beginning to disappear. Some
editors who note this recall, too, that
the farmers of the West who despair
ed obtaining sufficient labor to har-
vest the crops found as the harvest
went on that plenty of labor was avail
able Later, Brooklyn was paralyzed
by a strike on it's electric railroads,
but the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany was able to mobilize three thou

days. A year ago, says the New

Eventually, remarks this business or

1.-THE facts in the case will show the
members of the trade that they can
not continue On the present basis, and
that if they want regular and steady
employment they will have to conform
to the law Of supply and demand by
making it possible to furnish mer-
chandise at a price that will permit
the consumer TO buy it. There is no
combination Ct capital or labor or both
which can successfully maintain the
present artificial conditions for an in
definite period"
Reasons for the increase in the sup
ply Of labor are noted as follows by
the New York Times:
with the shutting down Of various
industrial establishments a number Of
employees lost their jobs. About the
same time many Of the former service
men, who had been restless after their
war-ex perience and unable to settle to
real work. got their bearings again
ard sought steady employment. The
volume of immigration, which has
swelled largely within the last few
months, also became factor in the
labor I1s:rEe-.
Some iutere:ting information on the
increase Of immigration is contained
in a Utica Press editorial, which
Quotes official figures. Our record
immigration was in 1907, when 1855
349 landed on our shores. The influ-
encc 4 tie var was such that in the
year ending July l, 1919, only 141,1
came. but the wear after, ending July
/, 1920. showed a total immigration in
rcprd numbers Of eight hundred thou
sand. 1t is now estimated that about
five thousand aliens a day are coming
to Ellis Island If this continues, says
The Press, 1T is easy to see that for
the twelve months ending July /, 1921,
more would come than ever before in
the country"

organizations of the workers and to
establish mastery in the plants of pro-
duction.'' What the Socialist editor
has in mind is explained by the fol-
lowing statement which the New York
World used on the same day to intro
duce a series of special articles on the
labor situation in general and the
"openshop" movement in particular:
Labor day this year found the
market for labor materially changed
from Labor day, 1919. There was an
actual shortage Or raw or unskliied
labor then Today surplus Of this
and senliskilled labor is beginning 10
appear. In consequence, large enl-
pioyers Of workers have begun to
their plans into execution, for getting
labor at lower costs.
ITO them it appears the law Of sup
ply and demand, operating since the
summer Of 1915 in favor Of the man
with only back and biceps' to sell, IS
now beginning to operate against him,
and is once more a buyers and not
sellers market.
because Of this. employers in large
numbers see the long-awaited oppor-
tunity to 1iquidate labor by revising
prices downward, a process, as yet: at
least, not applicable to the skilled and
organized workers, but easy Of ap-
plication to the unskilled and unOr-
gained Thus as unskilled labor was
the first to advance in the summer
and fall of 1915, it nov IS the first
to be forced down.
"To help this process along, the
'open-shop' or antiunion movement is
being fostered, particularly in the
Middle West, where, because Of the
Stacking down of the automobile bust
ness, the number Of idle men IS vast
" greater than elsewhere"
In it's editorial columns The World
ventures a few words of warning to
labor:
Labor is not so scarce as it was.
Employment is not so certain Or so i'm
perative in its prosperity as to yield
to any demands which organized labor
may choose to make. The trade re-
views note a general relaxation from
the war-pressure in industry. Many
mills have been closed and more are
working on short time. The cOnsum-
INK puDIlS SOuiN JOI Up LllV pave,
and production slackens accordingly.
More strikers have been striking
themselves out of a job than has been
supposed, and the winning strikes
have forced others out of work to
greater number than has been calcu-
lated.
1T does not take a very large float
ing supply of labor to break the whole
labor market This needs to be re-
membered by those workmen who
think they see yet another chance to
boost wages beyond all bounds Of rea-
SON"
In noting that there is a serious
prospect of unemployment in several
trades, the New York Journal of Com
n1erce says it will be most acute in
those lines in which artificial cost

such purpose" There is, editor,
now insist, floating supply Of labor.
"There are not vast numbers of unem-
ployed men to be had whenever a
straw boss crooks his fingers" but,
remarks the New York Globe, there
is a slight surplus of workers over
jobs" Labor is once more obtaina-
ble," it continues, and whether we
rejoice over the situation or not, we
may as we'll recognize it." "Unplea-
SAINT tho it may be to admit it, candor
compells the admission" wrote the
editor of the New York Call on Sep
TENDER 6, that on this Labor day the
organized workers of the nation have
suffered one disastrous defeat after
the other during the past year. The
employing class has never been so

is today. From all quarters come re-

FORMER ST. I.BOY
SWIMS ACROSS
LAKE CHAMPLAIN
Charles f. Branch Covers
Distance of Ten Miles
In Seven Hours

Charles F. Branch, a former St
Johnsbury boy who is now a medical
student in Burlington and employed
during the summer as instructor in
swimming on the North Beach, re-
Gently swan across Lake Champlain,
making the distance of nearly 10
miles in seevn hours. Nh. Branch is
the son OF the late Dr.. Branch Of
Newport and is wellremembered both
in Newport and St. Johnsbury. He
was accompanied on his trip by Paul
Drummer, also of Burlington, and
they crossed the lake from Willsboro
Point to the Vermont shore. The
men landed far apart and Branch
struck shore off Oak ledge while
Drummer rounded the breakwater
and landed at the wharf of the Cham
plain Transportation company.
Both men nearly accomplished the
performance on Friday afternoon,
failing when some three-foot waves
struck them after they had gone be-
yond Juniper Island. 1t was impos-
Sible for the swimmers to face such
conditions during the big strain and
they both got into the boats which
accompanied them.
On Monday, conditions seemed to
be ideal and the men left Willsboro
Point in the afternoon at 215 o'clock
Each had his boat, with oarsmen, and
then began the tussle of more than
nine miles with the waves. The men
stayed together until they reached
point north of Juniper Island. At
that time Branch encountered a
current which drove him toward Oak
Ledge, while Drummer went to the
north in order to swim around the
breakWater and make his landing at
the wharf. Drummer was about an
hour later in landing on account of
the longer swim. Branch was in the
water six hours and a half, Drummer
seven hours and 35 minutes, the
former reaching Oak Ledge at 8.45
p. m, and the latter stepping on to
the steamboat wharf at $50 p. m.
