The labor shortage is acute in the
three hard coal fields. While She strike
was on hundreds men left the region
to accept work elsewhere. Many of
these men, skilled in mining and prop
eriy eertificated, will not return In
the early days Of the strike there was
an exodus TO foreign countries sun-
dreds of miners and mine worksxs re-
turned to their native lands with their
families and savings. Many said they
veEe never coming back, while others
declared they would return when peace
was restored.
The anthracite Industry at the tine
the strike was called was UNDER
manned from the standpoint of skilled
labor. The loss Of thousands Of men is
certain to seriously curtail production.
Many of the collieries were unable to
start to-day because Of the dangerous
condition Of the mines. Company Off
cials and union leaders are warning
the returning miners against taking
chances. There have been cave-ing in
many places. In gaseous mines there
is always danger. Tjmbers have rotted,
rails have decayed and company prop
erty is not in safe state. The period
of cleaning up will take some time.

Anthracite nirss, idle since the first

Million Men Put Back

Tells Employment Service

I WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Unemploy-
ment resulting one year ago from "the
greatest industrial depression that the
United States has ever known" has
been reduced to normal, Secretary
Davis of the Labor Department de-
elared to-day in the opening address
before the tenth annual meeting of the
international 1Association of Public
Employment Services.
Problems relating to public employ
hent services in this country and
Canada were discussed by officials of
both countries at this meeting, to which
Secretary Davis brought the personal
greetings of President Harding. Other
bpeakers included j. H. Ballantyne
Minister Of Labor of Canada. and w
s. Lent and r. S. Riddle, of Harris.
burg, Pa. Director General Jones. OF
lhe United States Employment Service
presided.
One year ago, Secretary Davis said
rit was estimated that 5.50o,0o0 of oui
Eorkmen were walking the streets
looking for jobs" whereas "to-day that
horde has been disbanded"
We have put between three and
four million of our workless men back
pit bench and lathe and furnace ht
continued. 1--WE still have a millior
knd half seeking jobs. Another mil.
lion and half are idle through tht
bo-caiied part-time employment. In
eestigstion made during the last yeai
has demonstrated that this is the nor
hal condition in America.
!. THE problem before us in reducing
Ehe normal unemployment is twofold
FIRST, the placing Of the million ant
? nall men who are seeking jobs; sec
bnd, the elimination of the mart tim,
fvil, which is keeping another millior
Ind half in idleness."

well, let me say tirfa 10 you, that
in my judgment the industrial tide has
changed. The men and the women of
toll will cling more closely and fer
vently to this only hope for their pfa-
lection and the promotion Of tbsle
rights and interests, their trade
unions and our federation Of unions.
The men Of labor still unorganized
will join our ranks as their one haven
of protection in this world of struggle
and development, ! am in receipt Of
more letters and kilograms than
have ever received before in all my
experience relative to the situation
as it now exists In our country and
urging action, whether practical or i'm
practical. One thing is sure-the men
and women of labor and the masses
of our people, while deeply concerned
with wages, hours and conditions of
employment of life and work, are yet
more deeply concerned in the main
tenance of fundamental principles of
freedom in the Republic Of the United
States"
Say Victory Turns Tide
In connection with their claim that
the victory of the United Mine Workers
in the coal strike turned the indus
trial tide for organized labor" mem
bers of the executive council sent a
telegram to John L. Lewis, president
OF the miners, offering sincere con-
gratulations upon the successful re
sistance against the vicious attempt
that has been made to deprive the
NINE workers of the gains and rewards
OF years of collective struggle" =,
THE victory of the miners in both
Dituminous and anthracite coal fields"
continued the telegram, "is splendid
achievement and unquestionably will
demonstrate the great power and
beneficent influence of united action
against the concerted movement of
hlgh hnsnclers, whose aim is the sup
preston and depression of the workers,
the wealth producers of our Republic.
The achievement cs the United Mine
Workers will be an inspiration to all
wage earners for greater activity, unity
and solidarity to protect and promote
their rights and interests and make for
progress, welfare and freedom of all
the workers and the people of America.
The advantageous settlement of the
miners strike marks the turning of the
tide that will usher in the fuifillment
of labor's hope and aspirations" The
telegram bore the signature of Samuel
Gompers, president of the Federation.
