! pressing shortage Of labor.
Looms. mills and shops are hum
ming and buzzing with an activity
riyaling the swtft-working days OF
war prosperity. Recovery from the
postwar slump has been 80 COM
plete and industry is setting such
a present-day pace that many lead
ers are cautioning against too much
commercial vigor that might bring
another period of deflatton like that
which followed Immediately IN the
wake of the war.
BY groups OF states, the Situae
ton today stands as follows:
NEW ENGLAND STATES
Practically all plants and mills are
working overtime under the handi-
CAP OF shortage OF skilled labor.
Massachusetts shoe factories work
ing full time. Connecticut II feeling
a scarcity Of female mill help ana
metal workers.
MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES

and basic industries. New York.
New Jersey and Pennsylvanfa

MIDDLE WEST STATNS--Illi-
nois had 90 per cent increase m
employment in February with the
movement extending over into

capacity, and farmers and building
trades crying for labor. Ohio and
Indiana are badly in need OF work
ers. and Michigan Is absorbing all
unemployed men on Its farms. The
automobile industry Ii adding to
it's payroll steadily under the stimu-
ius of healthy conditions. Indianats

the Dal1otas. Kansas and Nebraska,
where surplus common labor Is
being absorbed. Colorado il clear

Cardinals mills are busy. North
Carolina and Georgia are glowing
under building boorns. FlOrida's
State road building program win
tax the State for labor. Tennessee
has too many common workers. but
not enough skilled ones. Both
Tennessee and Mississippi are build
