IT AXE peep at these pension figures
I quoted by Rep. Morgan of Louisiana

IT AXE peep at these pension figures.
= quoted by Rep. Morgan of Louisiana
in recent speech.
In our war with Spain proper we lost
POS men all told. About 5000 soldiers
actually participated and 10000 of them
already draw pensions totallng, since the
war to date. 100000. To civil war
pensions Uncle Sam has handed out 81
7oooSo.lq2. An the revolutionary war
pensions we have ever paid aggregate
100000.
Mr., Morgan declares that most of this
business has been worked up" by pro-
fessional pension agents. To those
agents we have paid in 10 years. S+.4Sl.-
600. The expenses OF the pension bureau
for the past II years have aggregated
over 100000,
The pension proposition is delicate
subject to handle. Everybody wants to
do full justice 10 those men, and their
dependents, who fought for their eoun-
try. But that the pension industry has
resolved itself into huge graft upon
which host OF unserupulous harpics
thrive at the expense OF the taxpayers
IS strongly suspected, Yet the average
congressman dares not even mention a
revision OF the pension rolls out loud.
Some day, maybe, we will get CON
gress with the nerve TO tackle the Job in
earnest

The Seattle Job Market

TT SEEMS The Star was wrong. yes
L terday. when it published news ar
tiele stating there was plenty Of work in
Seattle
The federal employment bureau, at
First ave. and Union St. had complained
il had a half hundred jobs listed with no
takers. The city employment bureau was
in similar dilemma. Employment
bureaus certainly offer an indication as TO
the condition OF the labor market
The manager OF the federal employment
bureau told The Star about the fix he
was in More jobs than menl So The
Star with joyful little prayer of thanks
giving, printed the fact
Within a half hour after The Star APP
peared on the streets those half hundred
jobs were gone. Fifty Jobs were taken
in Is minutes. And The Star got so tele-
phone inquiries for call those jobs you're
talking about" And now the thing seems
TO be just about the way il has been all
along.
The jobs were there. all right. as The
Star said Only il seemed the Jobs and
the job-seekers hadn't been able to make
connections before.
IL is rather a cheering thought. tho.
that so jobs can get piled up in Seattle
all at the same time. isn't it'
Times ARE getting better, any time
that can happen.
And il. after all. there aren't jobs right
now for everybody. there is every indica-
ton, according to the men who put up for
the payrolls-the men who MAKE the
iobs-that il is going to get steadily bet
ter from now on.
SO. even the disappointed ones can
squeeze bit OF hope out OF the affair.
