Lots of Jobs Go Begging Says the Indianapolis Star.

Indianapolis is crying out for laborers, and the Star says that one employment agency says he could put 1,000 men to work in sight of two hours time and still have jobs for another thousand. are some men out of work who consider themselves mechanics, and who say they are unable to find work but in many cases they are not skilled workmen and that accounts for their inability to get employment to their liking. If they would lay pride aside, says the Star, they could find work at good wages and plenty of it. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Co. is crying out for help, wanting 200 men that they can not get. Wages up to $2.75 a day are offered, according to employment bureans, but men to fill them can not be found. American labor is given preference,’ but can not be found. Prosperous conditions are reported all over the state. (
