STATE HELPS MANY
FIND EMPLOYMENT
Oklahoma's Free Employment Bu-
reau Leads in the Placing of
the Unemployed.

Guthrie. Feb 9-Remarkable as it may
seem, the state of Oklahoma has a Free
Employment Agency, as a branch of the
department of labor, that has, since July
/, 1903 attained the largest percentage
in the placing of the unemployed Of
any state in the Union
Reports from other states on file at
Commission Daughertys Office show up
the number of applications filed and the
number of positions secured to be decid-
edly less than Oklahoma. although the
employment department in this state has
been in operation only since last July.
This record has been made in spite Of
the fact that the usefulness Of the Free
Employment Bureau is not generally ap-
preciated by the employer Of labor in
Oklahoma.
