GOVERNMENT
LABOR REPORT
FARM LABOR SHOWS SHORT
AGE OVER STATE AS WORK.
Frs IN OTHER LINES ARE
LAID OFF-WEATHER SAID TO
BE GREATEST CAUSE,

The October bulletin of the Indus
trial Employment bureau released to-
day shows shortage of farm labor
but an oversupply of men in nearly
every other line.
Seasonal curtailment in municipal
and state public Improvements and in
building and railway construction,
has had the effect of causing slight
surplus of workers in many industri-
al centers; there is, however, short
age Of experienced metal miners and
general farm labor for the harvest
ing of sugar beets, potatoes and
corn. A serious shortage of beet
field workers for hauling, pulling
and topping exists in the Arkansas
valley near Rocky Ford and Sugar
City. A temporary shortage of farm
labor, principally for potato digging,
exists at Eagle, Longmont, Newcastle
and Glenwood Springs. A moderate
shortage of potato labor exists in the
northern irrigated districts.
Corn huskers will soon be needed
in the northeastern counties to har-
vest the states largest corn crop.
Metal mines continue to show in
creases and mine-labor conditions
have improved yet considerable
shortage of experienced metal min
ers still exists, principally at Silver
ton, where $50 additional miners are
needed and at Telluride, where a
shortage of $50 miners is noted.
Cripple Creek also needs many ad-
ditional miners and muckers.
Coal mines in southern Colorado
are still operating on a part time ba-
sis, two or three days week.
Extensive federal aid construction
continues as weather permits and
four additional federal aid highway
projects have recently been added to
the program. Local labor Is suffici-
ent for all highway work.
Residence building in the larger ci-
ties is considerably slackened though
large program Of industrial, COM
mercial and public school building
continues, with surplus Of building
craftsmen, principally carpenters.
Weather has slackened to a great ex.
tent municipal and state public i'm
provements.
Conditions for various towns of
the state are the same as general
state conditions. Denver reports
surplus of building labor and COM
mon labor. A great surplus Of fe-
male office and clerical workers ex-
lists.
In Denver mining machinery plants
night shifts are being put on. The
new half-million dollar telephone
and great alterations on store and
office buildings are caring for large
numbers of Denver workers.
