Tliere will be a probable short age of 20,000 men needed to harvest the "grain crops of the tnree prairie provinces and th situation is serious, according to a statement today by R. A. liigg, director of employment services of the Canadian Department of Labor. This shortage Is arter the second series of harvester trulna from the maritime provinces and from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec will have reached the West. This series will take about 4 000 men, the railway estimate.

Mr. Rlgg stated that he had received telegrams from the West Impressing the urgency of more men to save the crops, and he added that British Columbia and the eastern provinces had not sent half the number that was needed. To Run More Traina In a final effort to get more men from the East another series of bar vester traina will be run. The department Is Informed that the supply of labor available In Brit lsh Columbia aa well as locally In the prairies Is practically exhausted, so Eastern Canada and the United States ve the only available fields to recruit, more help. As a result of the shortage the wages In the West have Inoreased from $3.50 a day all found to 5 In all the provinces.

East Harvest Late One of the chief reasons for the scarcity of men from the East seek Ing employment In the harvest fields of the West is that the harvests In the East are much later than usual this autumn and bring them about the same time aa the ripening on the wheat crops in tne West. Accordingly farmers from eastern districts have been unable to leave. Then, again, employment conditions In the East are much improved over previous years, which lias resulted in fewer men from the East being In the position of searching for work. Mr. Rlgg points out that a lengthy autumn would help the situation, but says that the value of the western crop Is so great thnt the uncertainty of weather should not be relied upon to make up for a shortage of harvest, workers.
