 Seattle Jan. 19.-Chief of Police Wappenstein was notified last night that employment would be given from ten to fifteen men at clearing land and grubbing out stumps if they ap- piled to the police station between Il and O clock today.
 The man who offered the employ ment withheld this name, saying that he was merely wishing to allow some men to take advantage of the oppor- tunity to do some work for him now that otherwise he would not have done for months yet. He will pay the men D cents day, pay their car fare to and from the work and feed them good big meal at noon.
 Seattle Jan. 19.-The park board yesterday morning decided to begin work at once on several different pieces of park work in order that em- ployment may be given to the married men now out of work.
 According to this decision twenty five men will be added to the force tomorrow morning, and twenty five more each morning this week, until at the end of the week one hundred and fifty men have been given employ ment. in case that number offer them selves. If at that time there are still men seeking employment the work will probably be extended to employ even as many as four or five hundred men.
 The park board decided to leave the selection of the men to the Charity Organization Society, Supt. Kohn, of the society, will choose the men and send them to the park board author ities. Only married men will be taken care of in this way. Each man is to be paid Sl. 50 per day.
 The decision of the park board was taken on the recommendation of President E. r. Blaine, a member of the committee appointed at the con- ference at the Chamber of Commerce on Friday to. investigate the labor situation.
 The men will be sent to work on improvements in various parts of the l city. One of these will be the con- | tinuation of Interlaken boulevard westward from the old bicycle path to Roanoke street, where one gang of twenty five men will be employed. Another gang of twenty five will be set at work laying out walks in Wash ington park. Twenty-Five men more will go to work on Thirty fourth ave- nue, between the pumping station and Frink park. Still another gang will grade and develop the Salmon Bay park in Ballard.
 This is the extent to which the work has SC far been planned, but improvements in other portions of the city will probably be added as fast as the work can be made ready and so long as the demand for employment continues.
 Seattle, Jan. 19.-The Builders Ex- change has sent to Los Angeles for twenty bricklayers and several struc- tural iron workers, according to w.. J. .Waddingham, chairman of the labor committee, the body having active charge of the open shop programme. These men had to be brought in be- cause it vas found impossible to se- cure sufficient men of that trade to carry on work now under way. Mr.. Waddingham said yesterday that the committee had deferred calling on the outside for help, trusting that uaion men would see fit to go back to work. It cannot be denied," said he, thate' majority of the best workmen are in l.the union, and the bricklayers and iron workers unions are unusually strong in Seattle.
 Members of the exchange have in- formed the committee that they need ed bricklayers and it is up to us to furnish them.
