POSITIONS FOR
RETURNING men
ARE PROMISED
Will be Plenty of Work for
All, Richmond Manufactur-
ers Say.

When the soldiers come home they
Will all have their former positions
open to them, according to Richmond
manufacturers.
Conditions indicate that there will
be positions for all the soldiers and
those already employed In plants as
we'll
l.. A. Handley Of the United States
Employment service said that he be-
lieved that after readjustment begins
In Richmond and the effects Of the
first cancellations are over business
will be good every place and there
will be as many positions as there are
demands for work.
II is expected that the manufactur-
ers will cooperate with the United
States Employment agency to get po-
sitions for the men coming home from
war
One manufacturer in Richmond
wrote Mr.. Handley stating he intended
to take every one of his men back and
that It was his desire to cooperate to
get these soldiers positions and that
he would be willing to take any SOL
der in his plant who Is able to do his
line Of work.
- Every effort will be made to help
returning service men. Some of them
may not be able to do work that they
have formerly done and others may be
farther advanced and aspire to take
positions in field of work larger than
Richmond. Every effort will be made
to accommodate these men and to
meet these problems.
More than 1900 men have gone from
Richmond into the service. These
men will not be returning at the same
time. and for this reason it will be
easier to get work for them all.
