Ont Hundred and Fifty Laboring Men Could Have Been Placed Tuesday, Says Duffin.

•According to Charles R. Duffin, in charge of the state free employment bureau, during the five years that lie has been iji this work here, there never has been as great a demand for laborers as there is at this time. "We could use 150 laboring men this morning," said Mr. Duffin. "There is plenty of work for men who will work, more work than there are men to do it, but positions are not so plentiful. This condition does not apply alone to Terre Haute and the surrounding territory, for our weekly reports received from the government show that more men- are needed all over the country."

Mir. Duffin said' that he had been talking with some of the employes of the iron mills and that they had told him that they are making more money now than they ever did before, and he recounted a fecent conversation with some of the officials of the steel mills in which they denied that any of their ^orders are for war ptyposes. Mr. Duf'fbv suggested that possibly the reason for the increase in the demand for their- products is that factories which formerly were in competition with them, are now engaged in the manufacture- Of war munitions and he said that his answer to this suggestion was that

If the war should stop now there are enough orders on file in the local mills to keep them busy for the next three years.

Mr. Duffin then said that the local off tee dally/has: a number of men, who •after scanning- the blackboard and learning the wages paid and the location: of the work, sleepily ask if that'is all the work, to be had. For -one of these men Mr.. Duffin recently told the enquirer if he had any especial place where he would like to work and believed that he could do the work, that he would make a special effort to obtain employment for him regardless of the place he might select. The man left the office without choosing.
