THE_ DAILY BRITISH WHIG. MANY MEN ARE WAITING, % About Two Hundred on the Books at the Local Em= ployment Office. -- ~ ~ Work is very slow in openiug up, and there are many workingmen still awaiting the demand for their ser | vices. The usual number is around 1200, and while the majority get | work spaxmodically for a few days at a time, the local employment of- fice is constantly on the lookout for jobs, knowing that these men will remain on the books until outdoor work is available, With this condition duplicated in all cities of the province, there is no way in which any can bé moved from one place to another. All are trying to get rid of the problem as soon as possible. Reports received on the matter of unemployment show just exactly what the situation is through Ontario and each locality is expected to take care of itself. There is no influx of immigrants at present, so that the employment agents have not a large foreign ele- ment to deal with for which théy are thankful, but are strongly opposed to any immigration, ~scheme whils they are unable to place home sur- plus labor in profitable employment. It was expected that on March 1st, the Canadian Locomotive-Com- pany would be employing 800 men, but thus far, it is said that less than 200 are at work. Many former mach- inists of the plant are awaiting re- ceipt of notification to report for work. It is stated that the delay is due to the slow shipment of ma- terials that have to be imported. Not many men are being employed on vessels yet for, contrary to .pre- dictions, navigation is not expected to open early this year, indeed, it is more likely to be a late spring, and the work on the steamers is not! being pushed. There is nothing being dong in construction work outside of the city's trunk sewer, as mason work cannot be started until tne weather is favorable. There will be plenty of work of this kind during the summer when Queen's new build- ings are started and the usual build- ing is carried on. There has been a substantial reduction in the price of lumber, thus offsetting the freight rates and builders feel en- couraged to plan a more extensive building programme than last year.

Premier gaso- line on Wednesday was selling at 80 cents a gallon wholesale, and 36 cents a gallon retail, at the service station. White rose gasoline was 32 cents a gallon wholesale and 38 cents a gallon retail. Shell Motor spirit was one cent a gallon dearer than White Rose on both the whole sale and retall prices. The King ston wholesale dealers have nothing to say about the setting of the price as this is done from headquarters.
