said yesterday:
1--WE can find employment for all who
really want it. We find more trouble in
getting good men than in finding employ
men. OF course, we don't send any Que
out unless we feel sure he will be good
man, ana so we have had no complaints.
The men who come to our workshops we
try, and if we find them steady, earnest
and willing, we send them out. Otherw Sc
we refuse TO have anything to do with
them.
eve want girls now for several good
places and cannot find them. Or course a
large proportion of the people we send out
are not connected with the army"
why do you send this cruiser up the
river, then. if you have not enough men
aud women 10 fill the positions you can
fiud?''
Simply because we expect very hard
winter, and are preparing for it. Last winter
we started the Lifebnat with the idea tha,
we would give out $50 meals a day. S0on
we were giving out COO. Now we are
ready TO give out 1900 meals day to the
deserving poor, and our shops are SO en-
larged that we expect TO put the Lifeboat
on a paying basis. and be able 10 give en-
plOyment, shelter and food to all who may
apply and are willing to work. The CALI
has done good work in showing mp the
state Of the labor market in the State, and
letting the people know that those who
want work can get IT,"
