FARM JOBS IN WEST
A SNARE, SAYS EARLE

New York, Feb, 27.-Farm Jobs in

fusion and 4 snare. according to John

countless newspaper clippings and
othor communications purporting to
show that farmers are badly In need
Of help and ready to employ the idle
MEN of this city the mission is un-
able TO locate the addresses or get anv
definite information
Discussing this interesting bit OF
news bearing on the labor problem and
the unemployed. Mr.. Earle said:
This is trouble We are constant
ly having. Western newspapers print
stories that help is badly needed in
certain sections OF the country. We
offer to furnish honest. Industrious.
sober men who arc willing to take
any kind of work aimee they have
been out Of employment for months,
and then we find that the work Is not
there.
During 1908 wrote the governor
Of every state In the union Offering
10 supply help II he would send the
addresses of farmers who wanted
hands. From these letters, / did not
get a single reply TO show that there
was any great demand for farm
