At Pittsburgh, May Day finds pro-
nounced shortage Of labor in most
important industries. Steel mills
and furnaces have absorbed floating
labor supply and have called fol
more. Number of negroes from
south have been brought in to fill
the gaps. This class Of labor is said
to be good on outside work, but OF

Abundant labor at the mines in the

did not go back with the signing OF
the Cleveland agreement, and efforts
to increase the number of strikers
began again April /.
SOUTH CAROLINA-From w. T
Willipgham. United States Employ
ment Service, Seriods shortage in
farm labor due to migration of ne
grocs to the north. Textile mills in
Piedmont section have a balance sup
ply to labor, but around Columbia
there Is a surplus of laborers. Sur

Also surplus Of saleswomen and

the negro labor is adequate, and
skilled workers find no difficulty in
obtaining employment.
SOUTH DAKOTA - From labo,

ers and plasterers have received in
creases in Virginia, and the wages
of miners have been increased in
Arizona.
In addition to these, the reports
show skilled laborerS getting S1.25
an hour and plastercrs $150 an hour
In ST. Louis, the highest wage ever
paid there for this class of work,
while negotiations are now on in
New York between contra ctors and
the building trades for an increase
In wages of bricklayers, carpenters,
plasterers, plumbers and allied trades
by $1.00 to $500 a day.
The street car men in Boston are
reported to be on the verge of ask
ing for more money, while the shoe
workers in Massachusetts have an
increase in wages pending before an
arbitration board. There is also a
movement on in Boston among the
building trades to ask for more
money.
Reports from only one state show
that wages have been lowered. This
Is in Louisiana, where the pay of
common labor has been sharply cut.
The survey shows that in IA states
in the central. middle western. west
ern and southern sections a shortage
in farm help confronts the tiller of
the soil this spring; that in the
five states of New York, Indiana,
Kentucky, Illinois and California, a
shortage is shown in workers to
carry on the huge building programs
that are planned. In nine states
skilled laborers are in demand with
jobs going begging, while in four
other states the shortage comes in
common labor.
The building boom is noted in Il
states and takes in Tertiary in every
section of the country, while a gen.
eral boom in al business is reported
from the seven states of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri and Delaware.
The reports show that only in Ok
lahoma, Tennessee. Georgia and
South Carolina does an excess of
workers over jobs exist generally.
True. there is a surplus of workers
in clerical help, porters and chauf-
feurs in New York, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Oregon. Washington and
California, but in each of these states
the workers in other lines are en-
ploycd and in certain lines surplus
of jobs exists.
That period Of industrial peace
has settled over the entire country
is indicated by the reports of only
strikes of any consequence
throughout the length and breadth
of the land. Some OF these are trivial
at present. and none of them appears
to cause more than ripple Of local
interest. Figured in these is the big
~shopmen's strike of last July
that in some quarters is still
in existence. and in other quar-
ters is reported to be over
and done with. There are two small
strikes among the stevedOres at New
York. the Somerset county coal

THE TRAINING
OF DEFEAT
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The Osaki Mainichi, the Japanese
newspaper with the largest circula-
ton, editorially quotes a Japanese
general as follows:
''The Japanese nation has never ex-.
perienced defeat from an enemy; but
the experience Of defeat Is as valuable
as that of victory in war In the
training of national characteristics to
meet adversaries with fortitude and
courage.
Japan needed very badly some sort
of training to qualify her as great
nation. The earthquake came at the
right moment for otherwise she might
have degenerated. A new phase of
our national character Is thus bound
to be developed In this unprecedented
adversity."
B.. w. Fleisher of the Japan Ad-
vertiser declares that, "At noon of
September ] the old Japan ceased
with the earthquake. The days Of
the imperialistic and militaristic re-
gime have gone forever"
There is sound sense and knowledge
OF human nature In these statements
Every man, every institution, every
nation needs failure once in a while.
This ought to be good deal OF
comfort to most Of US.
No mans life Is continuous triumph.
Even the path OF true love never
runs smoothly, and for that matter
no other road Is creased all the way
except the road to ruin. The one
thing man seems to be able to do
with unvaried success is to go to the
dogs.
The trail of every successful man,
every dominant nation, and every
permanent institution leads upward,
and many a time the youth bearing
the banner Of Excelsior" stumbles
on the way.
The qualities of wisdom, prudence,
caution and the like are essential, and
II is not victory that teaches US these
things.
There is something in this for
everybody. If you have broken your
blue tea set, or broken your heart, the
failure has not altogether been in
vain. provided you have found amidst
the wreckage and disilIusion treas
ures of courage, of faith and of
strength you did not know you had

that a newspaper is sheet or a
