Slight Lull in
Labor Demand
End of Harvesting Causes a
Temporary Surplus of Un-
skilled Workers Here.

Men returning from harvest fields
in the northwest have created tenn
porary surplus OF labor In Omaha,
according 10 the report Of the United
States Department OF Labor, through
its employment service. for the
month of August.
These men. however. are being rap
idly absorbed into other lines of work
the report says.
Skilled labor In Omaha Is finding
plenty of employment on projects un'
der construction, and this condition
is expected TO continue for some
time.
Road construction in the city and
county, as well as railroad work, con
tinues to draw heavily on available
semi-skilled laborers. General farm
help Is In demand. with an acute
shortage OF this class OF labor
existing.
Domestic and clerical workers and
statesmen are In fair demand.
For the state as a whole. road con
struction. railroad work and other
activities are drawing heavily on re
turning harvest field workers. Mois
ture has retarded building and road
work somewhat, but operations un
der way and contemplated promise
adequate employment of skilled and
semi-skilled labor until cold wealth
er sets in.
A slight surplus OF common labor is
reported from Lincoln. with good
call for general farm labor.
Similar condition is reported from
Hastings, Grand Island and North
Platte. Additional contracts for
street paving at North Platte award
ed since last month have augmented
the demand for common labor.
