HELP ADVERTISING. - A short
time ago, in one Of our leading news
papers, an article appeared dealing
with the unemployed problem. Di-
reetly beneath this in the same col
umn mention was made that GER
tain manufacturer of metal products
had placed an order for 500 men with
a north side employment agency. A
large portion of the laboring public
is under the impression that this cor
peration maintains an employment
department whose duties are to select
the men that they wish to employ by
testing the applicant as to expert
ence and by applying character anal
ysis, so as to enable the employment
supervisor to Judge whether the ap
plicant possesses action, ability, re-
liability, etc. It is therefore difficult
to understand why a corporation
should place an order for labOring
help with private agencies, especially
If such corporations are equipped to
handle their own employment prob
lens. Surely no corporation has the
excuse that they cannot get results

THANKS ROGERS

THANKS RooERS-On behalf of
The Day Book readers, who are prac-
ticaIly all working people, wish to
thank heartily Mr.. Barney Rogers for
his strong lecture to the workers in
the issue of the 23d inst. ION election
day, tool.
1t is an excellent lesson, consider
ing the teacher. It may perhaps
sound little vulgar and sardonic to
some. readers that a capitalist should
come and show us his strength in
the game, bidding us to Wrest it from
MIN, instructing also as to how to
attain that, But, strange as it looks,
Mr.. Rogers may be sincere about it
and deserves credit for frankness.
Come again, Barney, and explain
us why the Socialist soap-boxers

talists have dubbed these poor soap

kindly explain the workers why

flee and efficiency under the Demo-
Gratis is rotten, and the service is
worse. The postmaster general,
Burleson, has certainly inherited the
ideas of the old slave master Of the
south and is putting them into prac-
tice.
Chicago needs more mail carriers
and instead he has forced the work
to be done by less men. When the
carriers start on their districts they
are loaded up like truck wagons.
Three hundred and fifty carriers were
forced to accept a reduction Of 5000,
whose regular salary was hardly
enough to raise a family decently.
The people ought to send petitions
to congress to force Postmaster Gen,
eraI Burleson and other officials to
accept reduction in salary at the
same rate as the employees, for the
good Of the serVice.-M. R.
