The development and reconstruction work that is going on in San Francisco has resulted In a most appreciable short age of labor all over California and from all parts of the State there is ur gent call for men and women, and for teams. It is estimated that 17,000 teams are at work In San Francisco and to supply this extraordinary de mand, all the towns and cities and even the farmers themselves through out the state have been depleted to such an extent that the shortage Is a serious one. From estimates by the California Promotion Committee, out- Bide of San Francisco will require sev eral thousand teams with drivers to supply It at present, and as the season opens for spring and summer work this demand will be greatly increased. From $3.50 to 4.50 Is the average wage paid in the Interior of the state for teams with drivers and the demand seems most insistent Just at present. Labor shortage is also noted in all agricultural districts and it is estima ted that employment will be ready for many thousands of men beginning with the early fruit season. All the Interior towns and cities where are lo cated small factories there Is constant and increasing demand! for female help. in me lumDer uiBtricts mere is a marked shortage and it is estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 men will be needed to supply the demand. Railroad building that Is going on In all parts of the state is another source of great demand for labor and both men and teams are competing with each other to such an extent that they are bidding against each other for men in all lines of work. fy; at all events he Is the lucky Wil liam and no one on earth begrudges him the new honor.
