Labor Scarce at Canaanville as Farm Work Stalls
Canaanville October 8. Day labor is at a premium and farm work stalls as corn harvest looms. Prominent farmers offer up to 5 cents a shock, then half fodder, then all fodder, without volunteers. Labour shortages blamed on nationwide trends and men leaving for construction work on a new B and O S W line switch and mine shaft projects. Meanwhile a large coal mine nearby nears operation, promising a local boom and better wages. Progress continues on the air shaft entry with ventilation improvements and a large Nelsonville Machine Company fan to push clean air down to workers.
