ing During Year
SUPPLY IS EQUAL
TO The DEMAND

The following announcement is made
today TO the employers Of this city by
the United states Employment Ser
vice:
The L. s. Employment Service re-
spectfully invites attention TO the fact
that a monthly average Of 1000 appli-
eants have. during the past year, cali
ed at its offices in the Wilmington IN
dustrlal zone, most OF whom were
placed in suitable employment. inc
service is free TO both employer and
employe. During the local high pres
sure for production caused by tie war
the benencence Of this service was al
most universally acknowledged by the
producers Of war essentials, and no dll-
nculty was encountered TO place work
ers in employment. The change irefn
war to a peace basis, causing cancella-
tions Of many war contracts, has
brought about a resultant change IN
employment conditions, so that, instead
OF having more opportunities than
workers to MI them. il is anticipated
that in the quite near future the ser
vice will have many more workers,
male and female, than opportunities IN
which TO place them. Especially VIII
these conditions be accentuated on the
return Of our soldier boys, which. in
deed has already begun. With these
facts before YOU, the L. :. Employ
ment Service asks you 10 continue your
past loyalty TO the interests Of our
community and the Government. and
flle with the main office. at sixth ana
King street, Wilmington, Delaware,
your needs, either by return OF the en-
closed card or by telephone No. 1880. "a
franked envelope is enclosed with each
letter issued SO that the recipient may
nh out the card. and return The same
without any cost for POSTAGE.
It should be manifest TO every en-
ployer and citizen Of Delaware that best
results can be accomplished by having
a national central and neutral clearing
house for labor, and that I'm the alb
sence OF such. Institution idle labor Is
likely TO become a serious menace TO
the public veal. 1dleness Of the work
ers may create Bolsheysm.
During the period OF the war most
OF the employers full heartedly CO
operated with this service. This spirit
was sincerely appreciated both by the
national and local service. Now that
the war is over there is even greater
need for our cooperation, for reasons
appearing above To make good the
public promise TO the men who made
The great sacrifice by leaving all for
their country's sake It will be neces-
sary to have greatly diversified Oppor-
tunities for employment rather than a
few opportunities calling for many
men: therefore. every employer OF
labor in this State is asked TO make his
labor needs known TO this service,
which now has a representative IN
every camp in the country looking after
the matter OF employment Of dis
charged soldiers on their return 10
their homes. a list Of opportunities
Is furnished these representatives. All
opportunities for employment for sol
diers are referred to the Returning Sol
diers' Bureau, whose headquarters are
the Old Federal Building. Sixth and
King streets, Wilmington, Delaware.
This is your Service. Use it. (d thus
cooperate in the Governments demo-
oillzation plan.
A. G. BENKHART,
Federal Director.
