cept silver, is increasingly active.
The report states that harvesting Of
agricultural crops and vegetables has
created n shortage Of field workers In
some districts. The corn crop Is re-
ported to be the largest In the his
tory of the state, while sugar beets
both in acreage and tonnage, show an
increase over 1922.
Denver industrial plants are oper.
ating steadily, a number of them with
Increased forces. There Is a shortage
Of house workers in female employ
ment, and an over-suppIy Of office

In other parts or the state, slight
shortages in laborers is reported. A
shortage at the smelters in Leadville
Is attributed to the movement Of work.

Employment has increased in nearly

An improvement In industrial condl.
tions in Arizona over 1922 is noted.
