BOYS RETURNED
Get JOBS BACK
Employment Problem Is Not Seri-
Gus in Moline for Lads Again
in Civil Life.

The problem of finding positions
for soldiers returning from service
is not serious in Moline. In the
report of the Moline chapter of the
Red Cross made at the executive
meeting held Friday, records
showed that little trouble is en-
countered. Men returning to civil
life are either going back to their
old Jobs or have found new places.
One hundred thirty-two have so
far registered at the Red Cross
rooms. OF this number AZ have re-
turned to work; 80 are returning to
work.
Seven are now seeking employ
ment; one is incapacitated; 16 are
returning to school and one in good
physical condition seeks a change
of occupation. Because of their
health 13 are undecided what to do
and 10 seek change of occupation.
thirteen who registered declared
they were to see about getting their
old positions back and they have
not reported back to the Red Cross.
Five are working for themselves,
one who has returned is going into
business, and one is professional
man who goes back to his profess
sional field.
Mrs. Josephine Barnholdt, chair
man of the relief committee that is
looking after returned soldiers, re-
ported that loans of cash have been
made in some instances, and that
in nearly every case payments on
these loans are being made by the
men. The board voted $500 to the
relief fund, that the committee may
be prepared to meet demands that
should increase as more men re-
turn. Some interesting comment in
Mrs. Barnhardt's report follows:
Most of those who have re
turned to work have gone back to
the shops where employed prior to
entering service.
Those who are returning to work
had either been promised their jobs
back, or felt quite sure in their own
minds that they would get them
back.
Those who are to see about get
ting back their old jobs stated they
would call on their former fOremen
or employers and would let us know
the result, but they have failed to
advise US. from which it may be
presumed they obtained employ
ment.
"Of the number seeking employ
ment all were referred to Mr.. jan
sen of the Tri-City Manufacturers
association, but none has reported
back as to results"

in saying that the young soldier had
sacrificed his life. Word from the

chairman a fund of S6561 was con-
tributed to be sent to the Jewish
war sufferers in Europe. thereby
keeping up the work in which he
took such an active part while in
