wife being unsuited one to the
other, in the opinion Of Fred c.
Croxton, chief statistician for the
state industrial commission, who
predicts that the commission hav-
ing charge of the free employ.
ment agencies in the big cities of the
state will eventually seek to unite mis-
mated jobs and men. This field Of en-
d5avor is far bigger and broader than
the field merely of trying to get jobs
for the unemployed, Mr.. Croxton
thinks. There are many men in good
positions getting salaries above the
average who are not satisfied with
their work and who, accordingly, are
not giving the best service" Mr.. CroX.
ton said. Such men in more con-
genial work could make larger salaries
and do far better service. They ought
to exchange places with other men.
But up to this time there has been
no clearing house to which the I'M
satisfied employe could appeal. If he
sought another place openly, he would
jeopardize his tenure in his present
place. He has, therefore, been COM
PEELED to work on in a distasteful oc-
cupation. Now the domain of the free
employment agencies in future is going
to supply a long felt want. 1t is 60
ing to try to put congenial men and
jobs together and help to divorce men
and positions that are not congenial.
The employment bureaus have never
until now seen the bigger scope of
work herein involved. They have
given practically all of their time to
finding places for unskilled labor and
have paid little or no attention to
skilled employment" Mr.. CroXton'S
idea is that both employers and EN-
ployes would appreciate a broader
scope of work on the part of the free
employment bureaus now located in
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, To-
ledo, Dayton, Akron and Youngstown.
He holds that many big establish
women. He would give them a clear
ing house to get rid OF these employees
and to find others. Meantime he
would be making a general readjust-
ment by placing in more cOngenial
places the displaced employees. One
illustration of working out of this
principle is given. A man, able 10
speak three languages f1uently, was
earning $50 a month as a clerk in
manufacturing plant in Cleveland. He
was not utilizing his linguistic attain
ments and did not like the nature OF
his work. After many years of drudg-
cry he found place as foreign CORE
spondence secretary of a large ship
ping establishment and in a few
months was earning $4,000 year.
And the man who took his place was
better fitted for it and Immediately
was increased to $125 a month. The
change was thus mutually beneficial
But it was long delayed because of the
absence of a central labor clearing
house.
Commemorate Deeds of Ohioans.
Keen historic interest centers
around the five men whom Gov Willis
has appointed on the commission that
will have charge of the erection of
monument on Lookout Mountain,
Tenn, to commemorate the deeds OF
the Ohio soldiers who took part in
the momentous Civil war battle there.
The commission was authorized by the
late legislature, which appropriated
$4,000 for the monuments construc.
ton. Four of the members of the
commission participated in the battle
of Lookout Mountain. They are Moses
Hill of Morrow, Warren county, Sec
ond regiment; Samuel H. Bolton, Nc.
Comb, Hancock county, Goth regiment;
Alfred E. May, Oberlin, Lorain county,
Seventh regiment; Charles w. Wheel
er, Rossburg, Darke county, 40th regI-
ment. Hill was captured on Lookout
Mountain and spent 18 months in the
Andersonville prison. The fifth mem.
ber of the commission and the only
one that did not participate in the
memorable fight is Charles H. Gros-
/ venor of Athens.
Solon's Reunion in Cincinnati.
! Cedar Point seems to have been
given the go-by by the legislators for
their reunions. This years reunion
will be held in Cincinnati, while that
of next year will be held at Akron.
The joint committee of both houses
met in Columbus Thursday afternoon
and decided upon this program. This
years reunion will last four days, be-.
ginning Tuesday, Sept 1. One of the
main features will be a trip of two
days to Chattanooga and Lookout
Mountain at the expense of the bust
ness men of Cincinnati This will cost
$4,000. This southern trip will be an
inducement for everyone to attend, in
cluding the numerous assistants
clerks, sergeants-at-arms, etc, en-
ployed at each session.
