Railroad contractors areshortof tneu,
while the harvest fields are short
banded as well. Sawmill men are pay
ing the highest wages in the history of
the industry ou this coast, f 2.50 a day
for green men who never saw a sawmill
in their lives. Wages for common la
bor in the railroad camps wcie never
so good as they are now. The common
laborer is paid the general wage of
$2.25 a day by railroad contractors,
while some camps offer $2..r)0 for 12
hours, or tho men can work 14 hours if
they like and get $3 for the day's work.
But in spite of these inducements,
men cannot be secured to fill up the
uiil.v luiUuud equips cr round out tho
hort-handed harvesting crews. But
this is not true because evorv idle man
is busy, for there are hundreds of men
to be found iu the North End any day,
watching the electric fans spin at Er
ickson's or Blazier's or loafiug com
fortably in the City Park or plaza blocks
while the industrial interest of the
stute are clamoring for them.
Instead of making hay while the sun
shines, these men prefer to loiter, se
cure in the kuowledge that wlieuever
their last nickel is gone their services
will be in demand and they can go to
work again at good wages. If all the
idle men would enlist in the army of
workers and stick with their jobs as
long as they lasted, the scarcity of la
bor that is now keenly felt, would soon
be forgotten.
No matter what conditions have pre.
viously existed," said C. R. Hansen,
employment agent,"the situation today
is such that any able-bodied man may
secure work at good wages and be pro
vided with good, wholesome board and
accommodations. Many men are now
idle by preference. If these men would
go to work it would help the situation a
great deal, t
"The Northern Pacific has shipped in
a great many men iroin .Minnesota
without exactiug a nickel from them
for fare. It was agreed that, these men
should go to work on railroad con
struction, but many of them have
drifted into other occupations, such as
logging and sawmill work. Of the vast
army shipped in in this way, few have
remained with railroad work, and the
movement has done but little good for
the railroads.
"Although these men have beeu as
similated by the other industries of the
Northwest, they are but as a drop in
the bucket. However, these men are
likely to get back into railroad work
with the approach of winter, when the
logging camps shut down."
The Harriman lines in the state are
iu need of 300 men for betterment
work, while 300 more could be used to
good advantage on bridge and concrete
work. This number is needed by the
maintainance department, exclusive of
the lnrge amount of new construction
now going on.
A thousand men are wanted on the
Lewiston-Riparia line, which is being
built jointly by the O. R. & N. and the
Northern Pacific. The contractors on
the Elgin brunch of tho O. K. & N. want
from 400 to COO men, while 500 more are
needed by tho Harriman lines alone be
tween Portland Riid Eastern Oregon at
intermediate points.
It is estimated conservatively that
the North Bank road, now undergoing
construction by the Portland and Se
attle Railway, needs from 1500 to 2000
men. The Klamath irrigation work is
also reported to be short handed.
Ericksou & Potterson, probably the
Jones, is working on the Columbia Val
ley Railroad and needs men to fill up
his camps. George McCabe, who is
completing the Elgin extension of the
O. R. & N., has had continual difficulty
in securing men euough to do the work
and he paid tho record price for com
mon, labor, $2.50 a day, in order to com
plete Ids contract.
These men, as well as contractors in
other lines, report that work has beeu
retarded because men could not be se
cured in large enough numbers. The
constant shifting of the men is com
mented upon by employers. After a
short time spent iu one camp the men
wander off to other work or to spoud a
long vacation in idleness.
From the harvest fields comos a call
for men. It is estimated that at least
2000 hands are ueeded to gather the
grain crops. So severe is the shortage
that it is leported from Walla Walla
that a family of society girls took charge
of their father's teams to help him
gather his wheat crop.
Within the city limits there is plenty
of work. Contractors who aro putting
up new buildings in tho business dis
trict have difficulty iu keeping full
crews and signs are noticed on the work
stating that men are needed. The
sfoetcar lines that are being built
about tho city need more laborers, as
well as the contractors who ure putting
down sewers and building streets.
The shortage of common labor that
was reported several months prior to
the Lewis &. Clark Exposiiinu has ap
parently continued unabated, although
the situation has now reached au acute
etiige. It is likely that the uew railroad
work constantly being opened up will
cause this condition to continue, pos-
ibly all winter and another summer.
The Coos Bay extension of the South
ern Pacific, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul extension to tho coast, the
extension of the Hammond Hues in tho
pring, together with the continued
activity iu the lumber trade, promise to
keep an army of men busy for months
to come. Oregoniau.

The business of Yagdjoglou Bros,
during tho war between Japan and
Russia was greatly increased. While)
actual fighting was going ou between
these two nations, this firm was import
ing much fruit from Japan, which was
taken to Vladivostok by Japanese
steamer. Yagdjoglou Bros, have an
enormous trade with the oflioers of tlm

the fruit shipped into the country from
