CONTRACTORS FEAR
LABOR SHORTAGE
Italians Now Compose Seventy-five Per
Cent, of Workers On Big East
ern Contracts.
NEW YORK, May 24.—Contractors
for the big public and private works
now being carried on in this city fear
that the call for reservists issued by
the Italian government will deplete
the labor market and that work will
be shut down. The work is now be
ing carried on with 75 per cent. Ital
ian labor, mostly young men who are
affected by the order. It is recalled
that when alien labor was barred from
work on the subways for several
months until the state legislature
amended the law that almost all work
was stopped as fully 90 per cent, of
the men working on the subways
were not citizens of the United States.
Many of the big contracting firms
will go broke if the Italians are re
called, as the price of labor will go
upward and many of the contracts
will require several years to com
plete. It is estimated that $500,000,
000 worth of public work is under way
in Greater New York.

government’s consular agents.
Extra help has been sent to till

ITALY CUTS OFF
GERMAN SUPPLIES
WASHINGTON, May 24.—The en
trance of Italy inlo the European con
flict will cut off the delivery of war
supplies to the Teutons. The gov
ernments of Europe have known for
months that large supplies of muni
tions have been reaching Austria and
Germany from Italy. The merchants
of Italy have made fortunes selling
to the Germans.
The purchase of supplies by the
Teutons in America will also be stop
ped as the sea is now almost entire
ly cut off from the Germanic allies,
as Holland, Sweden and Denmark
have agreed with the British not to
allow transshipments.
