During the fiscal year ending June

so served. The average length of
time all these people were unemployed
was but four and fraction days,
which, when it is considered that
about 65 per cent of them came to us
from without the state, we feel iusti
fed in saying that we believe we
have rendered great service to the I'M
employed working man and woman.

the forests, water power, etc, We are
earnestly trying to conserve the net
earning power of the laborer, by get
ting them II touch with an employer
We do not, however, seek TO take an
employee from one employer in ord

contrary our efforts are more partic-
ularly on behalf of the unemployed.
We appreciate the necessity of hay
ing the full cooperation of the EN-
,ployer and would request that
they transmit their wants OF what
soever kind to the Bureau giving
such advance notice as is possible,
with the assurance that such requests
will receive prompt attention. We
can generally furnish good help and
plenty of it.

the following: Advise the number
and kind of help desired. wages, con
ditions as to room and board, white

In conclusion. / wish to say to the
employer of labor, hat when labor
is idle. the business man and his
clerks are idle also but the courts
of bankruptcy are busy. while when
2ll labOrers are in employment every
line Of business is prosperous.
