tractive but tho kind of work andthe °wages paid do not causo thescarcity of labor on tho dverInamy observation the sole cause of oIfaljing off In labor is due to thetreatment the musters get on thett
boats You may call It fastidiousnessla the rousters but It aa fact thatIItbeyl
they wont stand tho cursing of thoqfflcere the Irregular hours and poorfood While the city work and wageswould net prevent a normal supptyof rIver labor they do serve to maketoe roustors Independent They likethe rigor lIfo but the fact that theycan get other work at goodswagesshort hours pad personal treatment
