PLENTY OF JOBS
IS EXPLANATION
STEEL PLANTS REALIZE GROW.
ING SCARCITY OF LABOR
ANOTHER SIGN OF PROS
PERITY.

Chicago, Aug. 24-The rising tide
of prosperity has not only wiped out
the unemployment problem of few
months ago, but has created an ac-
tual shortage of men with an accom-
panying increase in wages, according
to employment agents, railway of
ficials and manufacturers.
One evidence of this, they said
was to be found in the raise in prices
announced for employees of the
United States Steel corporation to-
day. Employment agents complain
ed that there was scarcity of bot,
railroad labor and farm hands and
said that as a result higher wages
were being offered. One railroad of
ficial attempted to show that the
steel companies were being forced to
pay higher wages because of the
wages paid for the same class OF
labor by the railroads acting under
authority of the United States rail
road labor board.
While common labor i'm the steel
mills is receiving 80 Genes an hour
at present, section hands constitute
ing common labor on the railroads
are receiving maximum of 80
cent an hour in the Chicago district
These maintenance of way men, he
said, even with the decrease in
wages authorized by the labor board
and effective last July 1, are still re-
ceiving five cents an hour more than
the common labor in the steel mills
While the increase granted today
to steel workers will in great
measure equalize this, he pointed
out that the maintenance of way
workers have wage case incolving all
the class one roads Of the country
coming before the labor board Aug
ust %, at which time their leaCe,s
will ask that the wage cut of July
be reconsidered and that an in
crease be granted, the expectation
being That they will ask that the old
rate with maximum of 40 cent:
for this district be restored.
A number of railroads, this MAI
said, have offered no resistance t.
this action and APPARENTLY do not ex
pect TO do So Practically all roads
he said, waived the provision re
quiring 80 days notice before wage
cases can be submitted to the bca ii
indicating a Willingness to aid III,
employees in readjustment upwar'
of wages to this extent.

the immediate menace is being re-
moved, new fires do spring up but
fortunately are put under control by
the forestry department fire fight
ing crews before they spread t. an

controlled due to the unusual dry
ness, w. T. Cox, state forester, an
nounced today upon his return from

Mr.. Cox said the public must be
warned as to the probable general
conflagration which might develop il

campers and settlers do not use more
than ordinary care with fires in that
district. The woods and grass lands
are in precarious condition and il

said, fires might result which would

state. The creeks and wells are DIR,

Sheriff Glau and a federal prohibit

covered until few days ago.
When the officers raided the home
of Mrs. Muckler they found still

Ignite Mines
Supply Source

Pierre, Aug. 24-The coal strike,
while it is over, has greatly stimu-
lated production of Ignite in the
small mines in the northern part of
this state.
Many of these mines are worked on
ly by the owner and possibly few
neighbors .and union regulations as
TO hours, output or wages, do not
affect them, and they have been put
ting in the time at getting out as
much coal as they could while the
market was open.
Besides the reopening of a mum
ber of small locations, mines i'm the
vicinity of Isabel and Firesteel
where the shipping conditions are
such as to justify more extensive op-
erations. have been pushing along
and getting lined up to help supply
the shortage which is considered as
certain for the coming winter.
While this coal is not equal to the
coal mined further east, ii serves irs
purpose. and many of the residents
of that part of the state use it as
their sole source of fuel supply.

of the United Mine Workers journal
forecast today. Searles, who has
made a careful survey of the situa-
tion, believes the railroads of the
country will not be able to haul all
the coal that is now mined and re-
quired to meet business and domes-
tic needs.
