Remand for Labor in Ohio Has
Fallen Off.
Workmen, white and colored, who yielded to the siren voice of big money and pay work in the North and West and save up pleasant associations and steady jobs in the genial South to browse in pastures new have encountered keen disappointment, according to the Industrial Commission of the State of Ohio.
Unscrupulous labor agencies that cached in by shipping a large number of men to Northern and Western points to take jobs that never existed are blamed for the conditions in a letter received yesterday by Commissioner Holerty, of the State Labor Department, from Governors L. Miller, chief statistician of the Ohio Industrial Commission.
Mr. Miller asks for the cooperation of the Virginia authorities in curbing the way complained of, pointing out, incidentally, that the demand for labor in Ohio cities has greatly fatten off.
This is a significant move by the Virginia authorities to ensure that the situation remains stable.  Mr. Miller writes:
"The superintendents of our fleet are in receipt of numerous complaints from workmen, who state that they have been induced to come North upon a promise of good wages and cheap living by unscrupulous private employees."
