Automobiles, textiles and foot gear, experienced temporary ad Tinees, due to the spring season. t Reports from reserve banks itouABing agricultural communi ties Indicate that the cry of the farmers for. labor is being an swered by persona priven out of citts through unt-mnloyniHit.

Cither he is mistaken or all the ; information that Is published in the newspaper advertisements is; niit-K'aUiiiK Let us get at the j facts in some way or other. Iet us have a conference of business men, contractor, labor leader and material men and let the facts be presented in all these lines by those who speak with authority. Let there be fair and full con ference, and after that if the building trades will not lower their soale of wages let us know just where the community stands. The community cannot go for ward as it should unless there is a full understanding and a full adjustment.

Rut to have this city vo forward and have work for all who want work, there must be conditions under which larger numbers will bo em ployed at fair wages, under which ail will be employed instead of just a few of the more favored ones at a Taney price in any building "trade.
