w PLOYMENT OHIO HAS EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL WHO REALLY DESIRE IT Secretary of Columbus Industrial Concern -Says Labor Is Scarce and Wage-Earners Have Money Wage Increase Not Up to Higher Cost of Living - v ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 22 a P. SANDLIM. aeeieury of tho Ohio Maodom Association of Columbus. O.. and -, m. ,. ,, uio umo state Airrlcultural Department, is one of tho delegates to tho War Convention. Mr. Sandle, says that every one In Columbus, or. for that matter, in the State ,f Ohio, who nants a job can get It at Bood wages, but there is no floating; labor ind all watte carno'o seem to have -roney. The seriou, part Is that tho Increases In wares, he says. hav not Vept pace with the Increased cost of UvUir, a condition which eventually loads to strikes and labor troubles. Mr. Bandies asserts that Dl0 out of every, ten strike.- In the United States w-. .ncubated In empty itwnachs. The banks of Columbus centrally, he sax a havo plenty of money. The Liberty Loan caused some flurry, bvt tb banks naf the nltukt'on by themselves, guaran teeing certain amounts -ather than havo tho bond sold direct to some customers who would lm made Indiscriminate withdrawal. Columbus subscribed beyond her quota on the first loan, and while the next loan will need encouragement, the peop'c. said Mr. Sandler must be plainly told that tho Liberty bonds will bo tho jardstlck to mcasuro patriotism and that in any event it wll) cost tho United Stales less to win than It would to lose this war. The great agricultural section around Columbus, which is part of the sroat Ohio plain, prodi-cci principally wheat, which this year is above the average; corn, which was bit severely by tho recent frost, which did millions of dollars' worth of darnago last week to Ohio, and potatoes, which aro above the average, and the fanners ore getting good prices The Ohio farmers, said Mr. Handle, are in n splendid position financially, with fat pockctbooks and more actual money than ever before. Theso farmers, ac cording to Sir. Handles, did not subcilbe to any extent to the- first Liberty Loan, but they must bo compelled to take liberally of tho next loan. The coal situation In Ohio li bcrlous. paid Mi. Sandles. Industries are th.eat tned with a bhortago, and unless the situation improves materially tens of thou sands of homes will experience the chill of winter. The trouble Is both In short aje of care and reduced production. "Since Judge Lovctt's order to rush coal to the Northwest we In Ohio," said Mr. Sandles, "haxo seen tralnload after tratnload pats us by when our own Industries woro threatened. Some of the Mayors of cities in Ohio havo held coal trains up and confiscated the coal en loutc. and more of such action Is to follow. The coal operators have not accepted tho Government's price fixing as the farmers have accepted the price fixing for their products." Columbus has a variety of industries, continued Mr Sandles. the principal of which are steel, shoes and machinery. Steel price fixing. In his opinion, will not affect the steel Industries, as tho prlco of the finished product has kept pace with tho cost tf the raw and unfinished prctluct Mr. Sandles says that ho and many of his associates believe the excess profits and Incomo taxes aro a fair and Just manner in which to i.ilxe funds. There is a y. ho said, that this Is a rich man's war, and both these taxes If Justly adminis tered should put an end to sch talk, but he bullevcs that us this generation is lighting and feeding this war, the futuro generation bhould bcai a part of the burden. For years, said Mr. Sandles, the tide in tho United States has been "away fiom the farms" to store humanity in skyscrapers, flats nnd tenement houses. We have reduced flic army of food producers and increased the urmy of food consumers. In sixteen jears, ho says, the population has increased 23,000,000, and during that time food production did not increase by one pound or one bushel. In 191C our food production was short by twenty-eight pounds of meat, thirty quarts of milk and three bushels of grain per capita In tho United States. "Hemcmber In tho lean days which I sec coming," lie said, "the faimer won't fcoiry with meat In the smokehouse and 'taters In the barn. "Wo must give less encouragement to tho prizefighters and the baseball plaj el and lio'seracet and more pralio and attention to the farmer's boy who will ulse tho best coin or tho most hogs." Grand Rapids liusy and Labor Abundant one of tl e delegates to the convention is J. C. Holt, iron and lumbci manu facture! and ; director of the Old National Bank of Grand Rapids, Mich. The Iron which 1t. llolt'3 company manufactures Is charcoal lion of high grade and Is used largely unci a i-wedlsn Iron was formerly used. It not only ships It all over the United Sutes but also to Hngland and Italy and other Uuropean countries. Mr Holt says that labor Is not scarco in Grand Rapids and his firm has no dif ficulty In procuring liolp Banks hae quite a lot of money, but are working clote. especially since the sale of the Liberty bonds. They oversubscribed tnelr quota and he believes will oversub scribe the next quota. "Money seems to be well distributed In our part of tho coun try," said Mr. Holt. "The cost ot living has Increased very much and although there have been two or three Increases in wages in most lines the cost of living still calls for more increases. "Grand Ilaplds." bald Mr. Holt," Is known over the world as a great furniture center. Wc have an agricultural district, which !. largely fruit farms, especially along the lake shore. The fruit farmers are making money on account of the high prli.es paid by the canners. 'Tin, oerry and small fruit crops wcro aboe the average, but the peaches and larner fruit havo been light on account of late frosts in spring. Our farmers also raise (treat crops of potatoes and beans, both of which aro good. From tho lumber we manufacture a number of byproducts In obtaining tho charcoal for our Iron We let the charcoal, alcohol and acetate of lime. etc. t "The price fixing for steel does not interest my firm," said Mi. Holt, "as the Government has already fixed the price of whatever of our output It requites." They have no coal shortage In Grand Rapids, but arc well supplied from West Virginia and Kentucky. Iowa Farmers Prosperous C. G. Saunders, councjlor of the National Chamber of Commerce, and attorney at law. Is one of the delegates fro.ni Council Dluffs. la. Mr. Saunders is also a director of the telephone company of Council duffs and is prominent, in V. M. C. A. and uplift work generally, and director of the First National Bank of Council Dluffs. He sys that on account, ot tho high cost of material and labor building operations are at a standstill; even the telephone companies are requesting customers not to Mk for extensions or Iz.iUllmonts where they can be done without, all on account of tio sckrjty of labor? "-..d h'h company figures closely on new installations and whe,M tti ittte charge does no. Justify the expense it icfuses to put In new tele phones. 'They have nao no labo. troubles in Iowa, according to Mr. Saunders. Banks, lie Bays, have sucn fa volume of money as was never known in the history of the country, due tt Vib prosperous agricultural conditions In a country 200 miles Io,g by bout 300 mile wide, wnlch for fertility is unequaled In tho world. The products ot Iowa, salo. M. baunders, aro corn, wheat, cattle and hogs. A rreat deal ot the winter wheat, tit says, was killed and some of it was plowed In for other crops, but sue, farmers as didn't plow It In aro reaping good crops, con tiderlng the clnunsunces. The oats crop has been the greatest known. Thirty-two pounds is the legal weight for a bushel of oats, but over the whole State of Iowa the average this year has been forty-six to fifty pounds to the bushel. If the present frost has not dam aged seriously, the corn crop, according to Mr. Saunders, will be Iowa's largest by evtral million bilshels. As for cattle, the Increase has been large, as the farmers for a few years past havo not killed any calves, and the hog cholera was absent. The rly spring, ho says, was also very favorable for raising young pigs. Mr. Saunders thinks the prlco to be paid for corn will prohibit the feeding of bogs and cattle with that commodity. Iowa, cald Mr. Saunders, is not a martufacturlng State; bricks, tiles and cement telng the principal industries, and all are busy. , Speaking of tho Iowa farmers and their automobiles, he says that there is one automobile for every eleven persons in Iowa, a condition which no other State can boast of. He ulso ways. In speaking of the Iowa farmer's prosperity, that the wealth of the average farm family in Iowa Is $25,000; that the farmers are Installing electric Plants by hundreds and using electric lights in house ana ouinouses, even me nogs Co to sleep undor electric light in Iowa, he added. As to the coal situation, ho cays tne Rock Island system carried 0 per cent more foal this June than In June a year ago, all soft coal. Tho Northwestern Railroad Ksed all summer a low grade coal to conserveMts regular supply, but this coal is not adapted to tho heavy hauling In the winter. "If we have a severe winter," said Jtr. Saunders, "many will feel the acuteness of tho coal shortage." Hard coal, he continued, is used only In residences, and he described the situation In this manner: "Formerly the ore boats on the lake when they delivered their ore freight returned In ballast with coal, which was stored in great s"heds on the principal ports M the western end of the lakes. This year they qould make better time and bring1 down more- ore by not waiting for the coal, but quickly returning in water ballast The big railroad operators formerly supplied the coal, and the independents saw their advantage and started to put a premium on their coal to Chicago and points est I myself bought for homo use this premium coal on which I had to pay J2.60 ton premium above Chicago prices. There are no big stores in the lake ports U formerly. "We oversubscribed our Liberty Loan In Council Bluffs by 1600,000, and as wo r the most patriotic people in the United States we will do w-aa1"' "As for the ReVl Cross, it was wonderful. Little towns of 1000 or S000 population Hat In J5000 to $1000. "We had tn Council Bluffs so many volunttero that the draft did not apply, and e have a big overflow of volunteers for the second call." Speaking ot the dissatisfaction ot the, farmers over the price fixing of wheat. . Baundera wtd tho farmer, forget that the price is fixed 'or next year also.

TOO T.V.TK rOlt CLASSIFICATION 1IK1.I' WAXT1U TOIAI.K STEEL TRADE WAITS ON PRICE QUESTION Coming Conference Considered Sismificnnt No Hope of Enrly Announcement NEW TOtlK, ept. 21 About Uie only Important development In tho Etcol trade durlnp; the last week has been the call from Washington to Jutlire Oary and others to come to a conference, which was. hcld.4111 Friday, and at which the question of prices mine) up. It Is tho opinion that the next metal to bo settled will be steel, anil tho conference, therefore, was considered ttltmlUcant In the trade. Itoreer, no one holds out uny hope that an announcement will bo made for sev eral weeks at least. Production at the steel plants Is not being rushed, mainly because of tho dlflluilty of getting a sufllciont supply of fuel. Tho companies which aro compelled to nurchaso In the open market are finding many ob stacles in their way In getting ti proper stock of coal on hand. In the flm place, the demand Is unusually lirge f.-ii fuel, and then also the ralliuatli ore finding that tlwy uitmut supply Ho oai-i villi which to haul it. In view of thes rlrcumManccN tho mamifncturer it hteel ttinnot work at 'apaclty H'ti If ho taiod to Therei Is some ilomeMlo buying of eteel products, but tho quantities taken aro neg ligible In comparison with what was ilono at thlt time a year ngo However. It Is considered likely thut the user or steel will not become active In the market until the Government announces it price mid Its probable requirements Oovcrnment buying has been fairly huge during the last week, among other prod ucts taken being sheets In fairly good quan tities However, boiuo big orders are being held up and aro piling in tho various de partments of tho llov eminent, and a lead ing eteel trade authority Mates that when these are leleascd the market will bo given a stimulus such as It hns not encountered In several months lUil-s for us.0 In Franco nro now being delivered to the tjovernment. and the greater part of this business has now been supplied. This has resulted In largo quan tities of nuts, bolts utiJ nccessoilcs being taken, with other bnslncss expected to fol low. REAL ESTATE FOR SALE mow ywro SINCLAIR'S HOMES sora D 10th 5t.
