a laborer to secure work IN depressed times than
it is for a skilled mechanic The opportunities
of a skilled mechanic TO secure employment with
reasonable compensation is limited to his field
of trade
There are many skilled mechanics who can
not or will not, except as last resort, engage in
laborer's work, and no one can blame them. 1t
would be like taking a man used 10 office work
and putting him at hard manual labor for which
he is entirely unsuited. The consequence Of the
activity of the Department at Washington it is
held, is that the American workingman without
job is too often overlooked and forced to walk
the streets.
It does seem as if the department in coniunc-
ton with the officers of the unions and others

scheme to assist materially in finding employ
ment for class OF workingmen different from

To our minds the Legislature. both the
