Immense lVoJtvts of llio Dominion

Omul Trunk Contractors Must

Penalty.
Thnt the Imlustrlnl development of
the entire country Is outrunning the
supply of Inbor la shown by the fol
lowing: dispatch from Ottnwa, Cannda,
concerning the need of men on the
Immense railway projects of that
country. The dispatch says:
The labor situation, with respect to
rnllwny construction In this country,
Is rapidly becoming acute. It Is esti
mated thnt next spring from 60.000 to
60,000 men will be required on rnll
wny building operations, the major
ity of whom must be obtained from
other countries.
In view, therefore, of the great
scarcity of laborers In Cnnada', It Is
pobablo that the operations of the
alien labor laws will be suspended
for the time being.
The vnrious contractors on rnllwny
works throughout Cnnada nre greatly
exercised over the outlook. Some of
them on the Grnnd Trunk Pacific have
taken contracts to be finished within
a certain time limit under severe
penalty. They have had ngents scour
ing the country In vain for workers.
They have made Inquiries in Great
Prltaln and bn the continent and have
found that a certain amount of labor
can be secured from Italy, France,
Switzerland and Scandinavia.
The leaders of tlw trades unions
contend, it is stated, that these work
ers from Europe will come under the
operation of the alien labor law, and
thnt their immigration into Canada
should be prevented. . The ame ar
gument applies to workers from the
United States, but there likewise the
railway contractors cannot get all the
labor they want.
There may be a small Influx of
railway workers from across the
boundary, but ft ' is to Europe that
Canada must look for the men who
will construct her new railway lines
during the coming season.
