At IneetiHB OI tno Douru VI LII
rectors OF the Chamber OF Commerce
this week the Secretary was instruct
cd to establish an Employment Bu-
reau. This Bureau is in operation
now and II is the desire Of this Or
ganization that all citizens avail them
selves Of this civic factor. 1t will be
operated along the lines Of successful
bureaus In operation throughout the
United States and solicits your sug-
gestions along the line Of constructive
criticism.
The use our citizens make Of 1t will
determine Its length Of usefulness Of
service. 1t is not only for the manu-
facturers, but 1t is the sincere desire
Of the organization that the mer-
chants, farmers and housewives call
In and make known their needs,
whether they be members or not
Mr.. Charles r. Duffin, the Superin-
tendent Of the Terre Haute Branch of
the Indiana Free Employment Bureau
in his report says: 81 feel those fig
ures but feebly express the great con-
venience the Office has been to the
employers of labor in this territory,
providing, as it has, medium
through which they obtain the class
and character Of help desired without
expense, and without the least pos
sible delay, and 1t has been no less a
convenience; in fact We feel that 1t
has been blessing to the unemploy-
ed, for 1t has brought to them the en-
ployment sought and gave them an
opportunity to select work for which
they were best suited, and there are
multiplied hundreds who have rea-
sons to be thankful, and they are
thankful to those through whose ef-
forts these offices were established
Through these Offices employment is
found for the unemployed; thus re-
ducing to minimum the idle labor
of the wage workers of every city in
which they are located these benefits
measured by the dollar value would
be very difficult to estimate, but far
more difficult would 1t be to estimate
in money value other elements for
good that are traceable to these Of
fees. Such as added home comforts
that are made possible by the steady
employment Of the head of the family
that must depend upon the earnings
of the bread winner for the clothes
that cover and make comfortable, as
we'll as the food that sustains the
body, bringing about more suitable
conditions, contented minds and a
better feeling of man for man."
A perfect Bureau is not promised
at present but the service the COM
munity will receive will only be limit
ed by the kind cooperation and con-
sideration 1t receives.
