Employers of men In many of the
lines which require manual labor say
that they have the greatest didlculty
in getting man enough. Business Is
good and the pay is good but they
are unable to get the men to do the
work.
Quite recently a coal barge was held
for several days’ demurrage. owing to
inability to get man enough to unload
it as quickly as usual. Employers have
to beg men to work for them.
The Radel Oyster Company notably
ls shert handed and unable to get
openers to fill the tremendous liow
of orders which they are recelvlns
this year. Captain William F. mm
stated this morning that their opening
business would be double what It Is
if men could be secured to open the
oysters;
The different factories about the
town which employ girls have their
signs out almost all the time now and
could use more help if they could get
them.
When the new factory of the J. J.
Cash Company commences operation
this will create a still further de
mood in the labor market. and it Will
be absolutely necessary to offer In
ducements to families to move to
South waallt. ‘ l ‘
One well known manufacturer. in
speaking to a Sentinel reporter this
morning. said: ”We have not help
enough but what are we to do, there
are no houses in town for them to
live in. if we should get them to come
here from other cities and from the
country.
-Many of the factories are building
additions which will demand more
employee and this will still further
Increase the difficulty.
South Norwalk la certainly growing
at a rapid rate and It‘s growth within
the next couple of years promises to
be much more rapid.
