Of PROSPERITY
Need for Men Grows Acute;
Return to Solid Pre-War
Conditions Forecast
r
WASHINGTON. July 21. Accord
ing to 'figures ot tho department of
labor tho United Stales may schorl
ly fnco a labor shortage, Its unem
ployment problem completely solved.
Director General Jones of tho em
ployment sorvlco, doclares the "conn
try Is steadily but surely forging Its
way toward n period of Industrial
prosperity In which It is possible that
tho labor supply will not equal tho
demand." Optimism, ho bolleves, per
vades overy Industry In every part of
the 'country.
Sound Note of Can Horn
Kconomlsts of tho nation's capital
sound a nolo of caution to those to
whom nny optimistic statement Is
taken nt Its face valuo rather than
tor its real meaning. They point
out that n labor shortago does not
noccssarlly mean that every man la
tha country has a Job, but that there
aro Jobs enough If every man with
out a Job could get to It. No coun
try, at any tlmo In history, has ever
succeeded In effecting such perfect
distribution ot labor that all Jobs
fwcro always Tilled without their be
ing any Jobs or men left over. Thus
at tho present tlmo thero' are states
with too many farm hands and states
with a crying need for farm buds.
Thero aro industries' with a force
f ul demand for skilled laborers which
can not bo found and trade with
skilled laborers who can not find
work-'
NaUon-Wlde CoaiUUesu
It Is fundamental and country
wide conditions which tho depart
ment ot labor considers, and In sum
marizing the decrease in unemploy
ment and tho coming labor short
age In certain lines, It shows only a
national aspect ot gravo questions.
Local conditions may contradict na
tional ones In certain places without
prejudice to tbo accuracy ot the sta
tistics as a whole.
With practically every Industry In
tho country taking on moro men, and
with Wall street and the banking In
terests registering optimism, It Is not
difficult to read Into predictions ot
labor shortago a comforting assur
ance of a coming solid and pre-war
normal prosperity. " Such, at least,
Is tho maturo Judgment ot Impar
tial government erperts.
