REDISTRIBUTION OF LABOR


Thousands of workmen engaged inl
the making Of mems, clothing have
been thrown out of employment dur
ing the month. At the same time
pages of the metropolitan
are carrying bold an
of reductions in prices
of these goods that show very clear
ly that the country has been over
stocked The big shoe factories of
the country have been making re-
ductions in their crews and at the
same time metropolitan shoe dealers
are grudgingly lowering their prof
teering prices. The munition towns
which include Bridgeport, Hopewell
and lesser points have been hit hard
by industrial conditions, and many
of the places are already IN the class
of deserted villages"
For several years people have
been deserting the farms, evidently
Ereferring industrial occupations
which permitted them to live in the
large cities, closer to the movies and
the white lights. With Europe at
war there was plenty to do for every
body and when the United States
got into the mess tho greatest acces-
sion to the industrial ranks still
found shortage of labor. All of
this industrial activity has borne its
fruits and it is not strange that it
has been found that there are too
many guns and revolvers around
Bridgeport, too many sh!ps at Fog
Island and more powder than is need
ed at Wilmington. At the same time
Detroit seems to be catching up with
herself in the manufacture of ben
zine buggies The strike in the
steel industry last fall caused the
wage-workers of the country to
blacklist the steel trust. The result
has been that there has been an un-
der production in this field.
The inventory discloses the unmis-
taxable fact that in large number
of industries that have oeen organic
ed in the "frst class" by wage-work-
ers that production has caught up
with herself and that there is already
surplus of labor. In some other
fields Of employment in the industrial
line, where the work has not been
so alluring, or the hours as short
or the pay as. big, the day of the
over supply Of labor has not yet ar
rived, although it iS noticeable that
these institutions are cathching up
with their orders.
Still there is work for everybody
to do. The farms of the country are
crying for helpers and every man
out of a job in the cities can get back
to work if he will forsake the bright
lights and become useful as well as
ornamental in caring for the growing
crops that are to feed humanity dur
ing the coming months. There is
neither an over-supply of labor in
the country as is indicated in SOME
of the industries. nor a shortage of
labor as the conditions on the farms
would lead some to believe. The sit
uation simply calls for radical re-
distribution of people who are will
ing to do useful work.
