ing shortage of labor in the building
trades has become noteworthy de-
velopment of the business situation
here in the last week
1t is almost impossible to secure
competent plumbers and other train
ed men are almost equally scarce
The same condition obtains in the
metal trades, and manufacturers
throughout New England are bidding
for labor. Advances in wages are re-
ported from many scattered local. ties
and newspapers are carrying a large
volume of help wanted advertising.
The New England railroads now
have nearly all the shopmen they
normally use and are wedding out
the less efficient and hiring skilled
workers as opportunity offers. Coal
is still scarce, although bituminous
fuel is moving in more rapidly this
