STUM aReason"$or Labor Shortage Ties Up Building Here Reports Show Two , Thousand Skilled and Unskilled Workers Needed in Oulaha Nowmploy ment Agents Declare. Omaha prosperity and industrial activity are rippled Oily in a short age of labor, according to repbrts received yesterday from labor agencies. y Omaha, like many other cities in the country at tins time, is experi encing difficulty in 'finding lnen for jobs. Fully 2,000 laboring men could be utilized at the present time, ac cording to a conservative estimate by labor agents) There is work for men of all crafts from the common- day laborer to the trained carpenter and mechanic. A minimum wage of $4180 a day for the common day laborer to wages of from $10 to "$12 a day for cer tain trained mechanics. Shows Prosperity. "This labor shortage should- not be looked upon from a pessimistic point of view, said a labor agent. ''Rather, it should be hailed as an optimistic sign showing that there is plenty of money and aggressiveness in the business and industrial line and it indicates that Umaha is tret ting at the bit to forge ahead the same as it always has done." The labAr shortage was explained as the result of the war, which tied up all industriesexcepting those directly interesting in furnishing munitions, clothing or food to the soldiers. These necessities of war concentrated labor in the east and in rriaiii other favored cities of a democratic administration, it was ex plained, and teft Omaha and dozens of other, thriving cities with the bare necessities' in a labor line. Movement Is Slow'. Now that the war is over labor is concentrated in theJcities favored by government contracts and the move ment of laboring men to cities situated like Omaha is a slow and tedious line. . , Omana at this time is almost free' from industrial strife. The only labor trouble of any magnitude is a strike of painters and decorators which has. been underway for three weeks. At this time there apparent ly is little hope for; a speedy set tlement.
