More than 1900 miners have

through the employment bureau,
of which George Edmiston is man
ager This number have been

many as so going through his Of

The big mines continue to ask
for experienced miners and as the
production gets back to a nor
NAL basis the present working
force will be doubled. AT present
about 22OO men are employed in
the mines Of this district At
least 1900 more experienced men
will be added to the payrolls as
fast as they are available. This
will bring the production back to
a pre-war basis and again place

Occur d'Alene Zinc Mines Will Help
Supply Worlds Demands

down there for several months past
has forced these big plants to sus-
pend operations temnorarilv as wei
as the plants in Belgium. This forces
the English buyers to come to New
York and go into the market for zinc
from American mines.
Another factor in favor of the zinc
miners was the absorption during
the past few months of the entire
large government stocks, held by the
ordnance bureau at the close of the
war.
Would Consolidate Zinc Mines.
In a recent report on some of the
zinc producers of this district, a
prominent geologist and engineer
who has made a detailed study of the
zinc situation. advances the sugges-
ton that owners of mines in the
Occur d'Alene district in which zinc
predOminates should get together and
effect a consolidation Of interests of
such magnitude as to be an outstand-
ing factor in the market control. This,
he maintains, would work for a more
systematic production, better selling
agencies and the awarding of more
suitable contracts for the output Of
the mines. Single-handed, he states,
no progress can be made except as
Unforeseen emergencies arise which
cause a tremendous demand for the
metal Operating under one head,
with established selling agencies, ana,
if need be, the erection of zinc smelt-
ing plants to handle the output of
the consolidated properties, much
more stability could be afforded the
industry and a profitable margin in
sured on the output.
In the meanwhile zinc mine owners
Of the district are making plans to
resume active shipments as fast as
favorable contracts are available.

The Problem

The labor turnover is the try

at this time The mines of the
Occur d'Alene district have made
but small Roadway in assembling
crews of normal size and main
tanning such crews for regular
periods. Hundreds of men are
hired and in spite of the fact
that the highest mining wages
ever known are paid and pay
days are once each two weeks.
nearly the same number work
few days and pass ON to other
fields. Hundreds Of men are said
to Doe walking the streets of the
coast towns. without work and
without money Inland industrial
communities. such as mining and
manufacturing districts. as well
as the timber districts. are ex-
tremely short OF efficient help.
The solution TO the problem does
