The demand for laborers in the 
past week and the scarcity of the 
same has had the effect of a general 
raising of the rate of wages. Labor- 
ers who have been receiving $1.75 
per day will receive at least $2 per 
day. This means an increase to at 
least $2.50 per day for contract labor, 
a rate which has prevailed elsewhere 
for a long tine. The increase in the 
“wage scale hits the local contractors 
hard as most of the labor is employed 
on contracts which were taken some 
time ago when a lower scale of wages 
was in force.
