nounced yesterday through it's en-

of the local situation. The call for
painters in Washington is increasing
daily, the department announced, and
the demand for good common labor
ers is far beyond the supply. Brick
layers are not SO much in demand,
due to the fact that the supply of
brick is short and is reaching the
stage where it will seriously delay
building operations in the city un-
less remedied.
There was said to be "a surplus of
clerical workers in Washington, due
largely to the continued reduction OF
forces in the various government de-
partments and the large influx of
those from out of town seeking en-
ployment here.
Labor is scarce in Maryland. the
department announced. the general
demand for skilled labor having in
creased since May. The situation as
regards office employees in Maryland
was said to be the same as with skill
ed labor, with few calls for technical
men.
On account of the railroad strike
and consequent curtailment of in
duStry, including coai mines, there is
plentiful supply of skilled and un-
skilled labor in Virginia. This con-
dition was said by the Labor Depart
ment to be Offset to some extent by
great activities in cannerieS. about
500 of which are in full blast. Build
ing trades in Virginia continue active,
while there is also improvement in
placement of domestic help The de-
nland for labor in West Virginia is

said, and it is safe to predict that at
the termination of the railway strike
there will be an increased demand
for all kinds of labor. Coal mines

LLOYD GEORGE LIKE.
LINCOLN, SAYS COX

DivuIge Substance OF
Conversation.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, August 26.-Former Gov
Cox of Ohio spent an hour and a hall
with Premier Lloyd George at break
fast this morning. discussing inter
national affairs. with particular ref
erence to the aggravated economic
and financial situation in Europe. Mr.
Cox was reluctant to make public
with the prime minister, combining
his remarks to newspaper men to his
personal impressions of Mr.. Lloyd
George.
He explained that he felt he must
be more circumspect and adhere more
closely to the proprieties as the guest
OF a foreign government than ne
would be at home, where he could
talk more freely.

was extremely gracious and hospit-
able. He possesses all the homely
virtues which makes an ideal host

anything. He has unbounded capac-
ity for work and possesses the rare
combination of gentleness and
strength.
"I was much impressed with his
resemblance to Lincoln. Like our
great President, he has happy facility
of illustrating his point with a
witty anecdote or story; like Lincoln,
also he has firm grasp of the homely
affairs of everyday life. In fact.
the pervading note in his character
is his simplicity and humanness. AT
ter breakfast he lit his briar pipe
and chatted in the most Intimate way
with me as if 1 were an old friend.
Irish Visit Unlikely.
Mr.. Cox said he had received a Sec
ond invitation from the Irish govern
ment to visit Ireland, but feared that
his limited stay in England would
not permit his going.
When informed that the trip could
be made in four or five hours by
airplane, the former governor said:
NO, thank YOU
Judge Maxsey of Scranton, after
breakfast, presented Mr.. Lloyd
George with an illuminated memorial
of good wishes from the Welsh peo-
