Plan In Operation In Oklahoma Has
Proved Success.
Employment for $4,000 persons has
been found by the Oklahoma state free
employment bureau in the last six
years AS virtually year was re-
quired for organizing the office. the
rate has been approximately u,000 a
year. These figures are submitted oy
w. G. Ashton. assistant state labor
commissioner
To obtain this work did not cost the
applicants cent The state maintains
the bureau as part of the official gov
ernment the same as the Office of gov
ernor or attorney general.
While this system has invaded what
has been regularly recognized as the
legitimate field of the employment
agency, operated by private citizens,
the state labor officials assert it has
been uniformly successful and is as
much part of the duty of the state as
the public school system 1t is defend
ed on the ground that it is both eco
nomical for the applicant and favor
to the employer.
Offices are maintained at Oklahoma
City, Muskogee and Enid. The Enid
office is in the principal wheat section
of the state. At Oklahoma City the
superintendent keeps in close touch
with the general labor situation and
particularly the need for help in the
cotton fields About 5000 cotton pick.
ers were secured there in 1913. The
Muskogee office looks out particularly
for railroad help and at times sends
out gangs of fifty or hundred men.

zens employment bureau fees esti-
mated at $125,000

Printers First Strike.

1t was in the revolutionary war
period that a small number of
crafmen came together one winter
'evenlng with the sole design of in
.sisting upon an advance in their
wages. The times were hard dur
ing the occupancy of the city by
the British. Scarcity of provisions
forced prices to exorbitantly high
figures. The supply of frewood,
which was the most universal va
riety of fuel, was at low ebb, and
the cordage rates scared beyond
the reach of the average purse.
Clothing was dear and even rents
were affected by the disturbed state
of the country. The compositors
who engaged in this initial attempt
at organization were employed on
Rivington Gazette. They could
not live on the wages they were re-
ceiving and undertook to raise the
rate by combining. Fixing up a
scale, the record of which is not
extant, they submitted it to the
employer, who refused to accept
the measure, precipating a turn
out, which lasted for a short time,
but terminated in their favor.
Having accomplished it's purpose,
the association forthwith dissolved.
Doubtless this was the first strike
in the printers trade in America,
and although its issue was success
full it did not prove means OF
holding the journeymen together,
