Not until after the same takes place will the labor market reach adjustment. Two Pensacolians, E. W. Walker; and John Eagen, arrived in Omaha : Monday from Pittsburgh, Pa. They say there is plenty of work around j Pittsburgh, but the city is so crowded ] that accommodations are at a prem ium. Four men of the South Side are ex ! peccTng 'their tamUfiS to arrive in Omaha Sunday. Work is still plentiful in Omaha. An effort will be made to bring between 100 and 200 men for the smelter. The Minnesota Steel Mills at Du luth is reported to be fairly well sup plied with labor at present. If any more men are needed in any appre ciable numbers, The Monitor will make the fact public. Several firms of Erie, Pa., want Li lored labor, but are not advancing fares* for the same. Only cash can row be handled and these companies j consider the risk too great. It is reported that the labor situa l tion in the far west has become so | critical that California has secured a temporary order allowing her to im port Chinese. A rumor has it that , many Chinese will be used next year 1 j in the best countries, but The Mon I itor has been pressing the claims of Colored people for that work and hopes to succeed. A. Crum, who was arrested in Bir mingham some time ago on the charge of recruiting, has been released and is expected in Omaha soon. AMOS P. SCRUGGS, Attorney. 3307 Camden Avenue.
