Plumbers, Carpenters Are in Demand Locally Delbert Murphy, superintendent of the local government â€" employment office, reported toâ€"day a steady and unfilled demand for qualified carpenâ€" ters and plumbers. A Since the enforcement of the Indusâ€" trial Standards Act here requiring the payment of seventy cents per hour for all carpenters, contractors and builders are demanding only the best workmen. Carpenters of the "hammer and axe" variety are finding difficulty getting work except as labourers. Employers are assuming the attitude that if they pay top wages only the best men will go on their payrolls Previous to the going into effect of an approved scale, carpenters were paild on a sliding scale from thirtyâ€"five cents an hour up, deâ€" pending on their capability and exâ€" perience. In the logging industry however, inâ€" dications are that about the same nurmâ€" ber of men will be required as last year. .The lack of labour in the plumbing trade clearly reflects the healthy conâ€" dition of the construction industry locâ€" ally.
