u. S. EMPLOYMENT
OFFICE IN EVERETT
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
INCREASES NUMBER OF
EMPLOYMENT OFFICES

The Department of Labor. after hav-
ing conducted an employment office
Tor a period of thirty days in the city
of Seattle, has decided to establish
sub-offices in Everett, Spokane, Walla
Walla, Tacoma, Aberdeen and Belling-
ham. Washington.
Henry M. White, commissioner Of
immigration for the state Of Washing
ton, announces that this is found nee
essary because of the great interest
manifested in the new work by the
farmers of the state as well as those
seeking employment.
Inspector c. A. Turner of the United
States immigration service at Everett,
Wisconsin block, has been designated
by Commissioner White to have
charge of the Everett branch. The
employment office will be in conjunc-
ton with the U. S. immigration office,
and all farmers and industrial employ
ers as we'll as those seeking employ
ment in this vicinity are requested to
file their applications with Inspector
Turner or with their local postmaster
The postofIice department and the
department Of agriculture are assist
ing in the work. 1t is planned to have
the sub-offices serve the particular
sections in which they are located
since they will better know the needs
of their own territory. In this manner
those seeking employment will be
placed in touch with jobs at compar-
atively small cost to themselves as
well as aiding the employer to secure
help on short notice. Should farm
help and other labor be scarce in the
Everett district the employers appli-
cation will be Immediately referred to
the Seattle office.
The department has established dis
tribution offices throughout the United
States with the view Of lettering the
welfare OF the wage earners and i'm
proving their opportunity for employ.
ment; also with the view of affording
the employers a method whereby they
make applications for such help as
they may need, whether male or fe-
male citizen or alien residents. No
limitation is made by the department
as to the kind of employment included
herein, but on the contrary, 1t is in
tended to include all, the farmer
dairyman, fruit growers, the railroads
and all industrial establishments. 1t
is especially desired by the depart
ment to encourage the return of labor
ers to the farm and other rural occu-
pations will be received from employ
ers for domestic help, male or female;
also applications from owners of land
desiring settlers or tenants.
Careful attention will be given to
the selection of applicants with view
to directing employers only such help
as is specified in the applications. No
fee will be charged either the employ
er or the employee for this service.
