THERE is PLENTY
OF WORK FOR ALL
SOME INDUSTRIES DEMAND
MORE. LABOR THAN THEY
CAN GET AT PRESENT.

Continued gains in employment
over the country were shown in sta
tistics made public few days ago by
the United States department Of la
Dor, which reported that i'll many OF
the major industries the demand for
both common and skilled labor is
greater than the supply.
Employment during May gained in
the cities and industries reported by
0.39 per cent over April, the survey
indicating fewer men unemployed than
at any previous time in the last II
months.
Negroes Leave South.
Pronounced shortage of farm labor
exists in every section Of the country,
the figures disclosed, with resulting
curtailment of activities, it being inn
possible for farmers to obtain suf-
fcient labor to harvest seasonal crops.
Unprecedented migration of colored
labor from the south has resulted in
hardships for farmers in that section.
The New York state department OF
labor in its May report notes the ex-
tension OF the slight lull in business
to the manufacturing industries.
Employment in the New York fac
tories last month was one per cent
lower than in April Decreases were
reported in nearly two-thirds OF the
industries, but most OF the decreases
were very slight.

three bills of state interest he will in

Judges. The new bill will provide for
the appointment of a judge instead OF
his election by popular vote. His bill
will provide for the nomination of
judges by the supreme court, their ap-
pontment by the governor and the
confirmation by the state senate.
Mr.. Fowler stated that he is of the
opinion that politics should not play
such a big part in the selection of a
judge; that these positions should be
appointive instead of elective.
Would Retire Judges.
Another bill Mr. Fowler says he
ing for the retirement of supreme
court justices on pay, after they reach
certain age. The age limit has not
been fixed in the bill yet, Mr.. Fowler
said, for the reason that he desires to
confer with the present Judges before
adding this clause to the proposed
measure and before he introduced it.
He is in favor of making the age linn

The third bill Mr. Fowler would
have made a law is the placing of
all ice companies in the state under
the jurisdiction of the general public
service commission. He said that ice
was as essential as many other things
of necessity, as a railroad, for in
stance, and that such companies
should be regulated in regard to the
