UNIQUE LABOR BUREAU
SOME WATERS WHO STAND
AROUND
On The Street Corners With Bundles
Waiting for Work.

After the last tardy broker has hur'
ried down Nassau street and the Wall
street day is under way, and after the
usual stream of lawyers has passed up
that narrow thoroughfare toward the
courts as the clock on ST. Paul's points
to the half hour after 10, from a score
to half hundred men gather about the
northwest corner of Nassau and Ann
streets.
Each one has a bundle under his arm,
each is dressed in black, and try as he
may to appear Indifferent, each one
wears an expectant air. In the jozt'e Of
humanity at this busy corner, little at
tention is paid to the black-garbed
group, and by noon the men and their
bundles have disappeared
But If one was to watch he would see
possibly a score of other men, also
clothed In black but minus the bundles,
and several degrees better dressed.
These men come singly, pass through
the group, single out one or more men
each, speak to them, and hurry away
with them.
The men with the bundles are walters

The restaurant men depend upon find

For years this corner has been
recognized meeting place for walters
seeking work and for employers, and
the recent effort of the police to drive
the walters from their corner was I'M
