laborer, is not able to stand the cost
of fees charged by the average en-
ployment agent, and we have found
the Federally controlled office fills
our requirements"
White & Davis, Mems, Womens and
Children's Apparel: Private employ
ment agencies are not always satisfac-
tory on account of labor being unable
to pay the fees exacted OF them, and
they do not always furnish the class
of help wanted. The Federal free
agency, in our opinion, should be con-
tinued as long as il is conducted as
it has been at this time. The Pueblo
agency has been very satisfactory"
Union Depot Hotel and Restaurant,
Pueblo: Il wish to state that have
found it very satisfactory as have
been furnished with nearly all of my
employees from this Office"

OF course the thousands of return

sibilities of the government in helping
to connect the man with the job. and
understand the appropriation which
is included in this bill will be largely
used for this service.
In conclusion, let me say that I am
convinced that there liz good in thi

used for the benefit of labor and tc
the advantage of the employer, and
that labor. the unemployed especia 'iy.
