REMARKABLE GROWTH OF U. S
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
You Can Help the Great Work

You Can Help the Ireat Work
To the people of the 18th district of
Connecticut
The U. S. Employment service dur
ing 1917 placed 168,066 workers in
permanent and profitable employ
ment, or more than were placed alto
gether in the nine preceding years.
During 1918 the employment ser
vice placed 3,099,295, and all at no
cost to the worker. By using the U.
S. Employment service they saved
more than $10,000,000.
We are asked: "Do you place wo-
men and girls?"
We certainly do, and our efficiency
would be greatly increased if all wo-
men and men who want work, and all
people who want workers, would only

"Burleson Must Co."

Smell Smith, Washington writer,
thinks Postmaster General Burleson
must 60" He says:
Assailed on every hand as incom-
petent, autocratic and unfair, Post
master General Burleson has entered
into a bitter fight against labor and
the public press which seems likely to
remove him from Office in the near
future, either by enforced resigna
ton or impeachment proceedings.
Samuel Gompers, head of the
America Federation of Labor, de-
clares that Burleson has pursued IAN
archaic, autocratic policy in the con-
duct of the postal. telephone and
telegraph services of the United
States" and must walk the plank
sooner or later" This as the result
of the postmaster generals declara-
ton that he will not permit the
method of collective bargaining
adopted by former President Taft in
his Joint conduct of the war labor
board to the general satisfaction of
both labor and capital.
Gompers' attitude is also caused
partly by the evidence proven on the
floor of the House that Burleson and
his brother in law entered into

against him are that he seized the

Editorial Comment
What Asher c. Kinds Did.
(\ew York SUM


When Asher G. Kinds finished in
1907 the colossal literary task of as
sembling the "Precedents of the
House of Representatives he said in
his introduction to the eight great
volumes that if his work would con-
tribute to the maintenance Of sys-
ten OF procedure conducive to an ef-
ficient performance of the duties of
the House he would feel that the
labor of preparation had not been in
vain. There has never been a doubt
of the great usefulness of his work.
Some OF the men who were not in
Congress before Mr. Kinds finished
his "Precedents" must wonder how
tho House ever got along without
this history of its parliamentary past.
this complete record of the decisions
of Americas most active legislative
body upon that which has come to be
recognized as an important branch of
law. In way Mr.. Kinds did for the
parliamentary law of the United
States what Blackstone did for Eng
lish law, except that the American
diu not color the record with his own
opinions or theories. but contented
himself with putting the full collec-
ton of precedent where all could
reach it instantly.
1t is almost surprise to find that
Mr.. Kinds. who has just died, was
only fifty-six years old. for his name
had been associated with parlia-
mentary practice for quarter Of
century. He was young, only Is.
when he first went to Washington as
Speaker Reeds clerk. Luckily, for
the House. he was a man whose inter-
est went further than the mere duty
to which he was assigned. He saw
that the parliamentary records of the
House were being swallowed by the
jungle of time to such an extent that
memory could no longer be expected
to penetrate the wilderness; and SO
he set out to clear a path. To any
young historian who may shrink
from an appalling piece of work we
suggest an inspection of the eight
volumes. each twice the size Of an
ordinary law book. which Kinds COM
pleted in less than fifteen years, all
the while performing his ordinary
duties either as Speakers clerk or as
parliamentary clerk Of the House.
1t was some reward for a good man
when Kinds was sent to the House by
a constituency which had lost
Thomas d. Reed. Kinds friend and
mentor and himself the author of
another parliamentary classic,
Reeds Rules: These two men, both
from the same Maine district, did
more TO clarity the methods of Con-
sressional progress than any others.
Reeds was largely a labor of pure
intellect. but Kinds work was to
clean an Augean stable a hundred
years old. 1t was perhaps the most
complex and exhausting task of it's
kind ever assumed by a single in
dividual. and there 10 no doubt that
it shortened by decade or more the
life OF the resolute man who, having
seiSsd it. would not let it 60.

Hope of S. S. Service for Kennebec.

Reports come from outside sources
that the steamship line between Bos-
ton and the Kennebec river will re-
sumo service this season on a pre-
war basis but as yet no official con-
iirmation has ben given the report
This line means great deal to the
business interests along the river as
well as to the travelling public and it
would seem wise that some definite
statement be secured, if possible,
from officials of the company as to
just what may be expected. During
the war it was to be expected that
the service would be crippled. per-
haps completely interrupted. but now
that the war is over. people have a
right to expect a resumption of the
service. The tourist business is a
great item to Maine and to this part
