V0[STEAD' VIOLATION
 NOT ALIEN ATTRIBUTE

What effect has prohibition had in
 the smaller and larger mining cen
 ters? Has it made labor more diff
 cult to procure and keep satisfied? It is the opinion of some mine executives particularly those in the drier camps, that miners are being lost to those mining districts which are distinctly damp. If true, then this condition can obviously be corrected by a more equitable enforcement of the law, but, as it happens, the mining companies are generally so dominant in every thing that concerns life in their com munities, that should they permit the flouting of a dry law, openly or not, the task of making their particular locality dry would be thankless job'
 The varying degrees of aridity found in mining camps is quite notice able. Some are doubtless as dry as they will ever get; others decidedly moist, while still others appear as if they were entirely unaware of the existence of a new amendment to the Constitution. Where the foreign-born element preponderates one will usual ly find an effort-generally highly successful-to ease the drought by the manufacture of the national foreign beverage, whatever it may be. We know of one community of Italians in a Western mining camp which i'm ports many carloads of California grapes each fall and uses them to manufacture a highly palatable grade of wine, popular not only among

MINES FIND LABOR SCARCE

Shortage of labor at the mines of the West is reported to be serious. It is felt more particularly by the big copper companies that resumed opera tions on large scale recently. For example, D. c. Jackling states that at the four mines with which he is con- nected as managing director there is need of 600 men. The shortage is
 chiefly among miners, notably ma chine-drillers. Although these are
 paid 50 cents per shift more than are
 shovelers and trammers, there seems
 an unwillingness on the part of the
 men to act as drillers; they appear to prefer the less skillful task despite a |differential of 50 cents in wages.
 They shy at labor that requires head
 work. At Grass Valley the machine
 drillers now are paid 75 cents per
 SllllI VI anu
 CTS for the purpose of encouraging
 the men to become miners. Moreover,
 the oilfields are attracting workmen,
 because at the oil wells the unskilled
 laborer usually receives $4 per shift
 as against the $3.50, or even $3, paid
 at the metal mines. Undoubtedly some readjustment is needed. The diff ficulty, of course, is that in many dis tricts the decrease in wages has pro .ceeded rather more rapidly than the decrease in the cost of living. One reason for the shortage in this de- partment of mine-work is the restric- sion on immigration, according to T. A. Packard in Engineering and Mining Jounal-Press.
 Fifty years ago American mining was benefited by receiving the aid of the Cornish, hereditary miners, who settled in several mining districts in such numbers as to give them a dis tinct character, for example, Grass Valley in California, Gilpin county in Colorado, and Houghton in Michigan. Many Irish also joined the miners ranks at about this time and in the decade following. Then, twenty years later, came an influx of Scandina- vians, not so skillful as miners bpt sturdy workers and quick learners of the art of breaking rock underpround: the Films, notably, became prominent in the Lake Superior mines and in the Rocky Mountain region. In later years Southern Europe has given us the chief supplies of immigrant labor, notably Italy, from which we have 1rawn large numbers of the Pied people experienced in min- ng and excellent hammer-men. Last year 5000 more Italians left this country than came to it, one reason TOT their departure, it is said, being me prohibition against the makinp of |lne. Just before the War and since. ne e sources of immigration have been ne eastern lands of the Mediterra- ,ean from which large numbers of 'erblans and Montenegrins have come o the mines of the United States. If 1act that the native-born Ameri- an does not take to mining under he prefers to work in the mil, r machine shop. ''''i

 Has prohibition been partly respon- sible for the heavy exodus of foreign labor in the last two years? |? is another question asked by Engineering and Mining Journal-Press. Is it going to make the work of collecting a satis- factory labor force increasingly diff ficult, and is it ultimately going to affect the cost of producing copper, lead, zinc, and other metals?
