The immigration bureau has the
right under the law TO assist In the

labor department is anticipating con,

Z During the summer Just past the
state labor &C mmissioner OF Oklahoma
wired the labor department at Wash

12.009 and 1000 harvest hands. and
needed them quickly. His advises In,
dicated also that after the harvesting
OF the summer crop, the heavy for.
age crops would give additional EN-.
pigment TO approximately So per cent
of the harvest hands for from four
TO six months. The federal depart.
ment proceeded TO act. IL issued a
bulletin for posting in the post Offices
or the country, and also to the news.

FOR employment In Oklahoma.
This was the beginning OF what the
government officials hope will develop

each other.
Another instance In which the de.

the mill workers in the textile mills

an endeayor to plave these unfortn-

As result. the Department estimates
