LOCATING JOBS FOR SOLDIERS.
U. s. Employment Service In Kansas
Asks Every Community U Assist.

Every community in Kansas has
been asked to assist the United States
employment service in securing in
formation which will aid in locating
jobs for the returning soldiers who
have no work in sight when they are
discharged from the army. Com
munity labor boards, chambers of
commerce, county councils of national
defense and other agencies have been
notified of the burning need for close
cooperation in replacing these men in
industry and are working hand in
hand with the federal employment
service.
Thirteen Kansas cities have already
| named chairmen for the local COM
mittee which will aid in compiling the
| necessary information, and others are
| expected to take this step in the inn
| mediate future, according to ]. VIII
Kelley. state director of the employ
| ment service. In addition to the local
employment officers located at To-
| peka, Atchison, Kansas City, Emporia
Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina, Parsons
| and Hays, these local committees VIII
| broaden the functions of the service
| which will be rendered the returning
| soldiers. When these committees are
| formed and in working order, it is be-
| l1eved that no soldier returning from
the army will need spend much time
il looking for job. The fact that he
wants place to begin civil life again
| at some useful occupation will have
| been determined before he is mustered
out of the army by the local employ
ment agencies stationed in each can
Torment. The information which he
supplies by filling out blank fur
nished for the purpose is forwarded
to the state director of employment
and thence to the committee in his
own town. Thus it is known just what
kind of a job he wants and is fitted
! for. and every effort made to locate
the kind of position he wants.

chairmen is announced by the state
