The Republicans claim control OF
the House, awhile the question as Ia
which party will lead in the Senate
seems TO depend upon the doubtful

heroism-we did not ask what creed
they held, but rendered full homage

State Employment Bureau Is
sues Its Farewell Report
on What 1t Did

The Bureau of Employment of the
since it's organization in October,
1915. following it's creation by Act
of Assembly, has placed in employ
ment 124,353 applicants, for work
to July /, 1918. That record was
accomplished through three offices
at Harrisburg, Philadelphia and
Johnstown during November and
December of 1915, additional offices
in Pittsburgh and Altoona in 1916,
additional offices at Scranton, Will
Transport and Erie in 1917 and new
Offices in Oil City, New kensington,
New Castle, York, Allentown and
Chester in 1918.
The expansion of the offices of the
Bureau of Employment of the De-
partment of Labor and Industry was
accomplished in 1917 and 1918
through cooperative assistance of
the Pennsylvania Council of Ma
tlonal Defense and Committee of
Public Safety.
During the last two months OF
1915 there were 73O placements
made through the Employment Bu-
reau offices. The number of place
ments increased to 15,94S for the
year 1916; to 39,275 for the year
1917, and to GS,40O for the first six
months of 1918.
While the high record of place
ments indicates great amount of
work performed by the Employ
ment Bureau offices, even greater
effort has been made, under the
present war conditions, to stabilize
labor as much as possible, reduce
labor turnover and consequently this
effort has been a factor in keeping
down the record of placements.
Since the creation of the United
States Employment Service, under
supervision of the FederaA Govern
ment, as a nationwide agency to
reduce labor turnover by regulating
employment transfers, a coalition of
existing public employment offices
in Pennsylvania has been effected.
Under this arrangement Harris
burg ceased on August | to be the
main office and clearing house of
public employment agencies for the
entire state. The state is now di-
vided into three districts-eastern
central and western-with the state
clearing house located in Room 203,
Finance Building, at Philadelphia,
where also is located the central Of
fIce and clearing house for the east
ern district of the state. The main
office and clearing house of the
western district of the state is To-
Gated at Ross and Diamond streets,
Pittsburgh.
Harrisburg becomes the main Of
fee and clearing house for the CEN
trail district of the state, which in
cludes free employment offices now
located at Altoona. Harrisburg, Lam
caster, York, Williamsport and
Scranton.
Proposed free employment offices
to be established, in the future, in
the central district of the state,
with Harrisburg as the main office,
would be in the following cities:
Bradford, Chambersburg, Dubois,
Emporium, Pottsville, Lebanon
Lock Haven, Lewistown, Mt. Union,
Sunbury. Sayre, Wellsboro, Shamo-
kin and Wilkes Barre.
