Successful Efforts In
Finding Jobs for Soldiers

Reports received from New England
and made public by Major General
William G. Haan, in charge Of the
War Dept's employment activi-
ties, show that the soldier employ
mcnt situation in that territory has
improved somewhat during the past
month.
In eight representative cities dur
ing November, 1,642 ex-service men
were placed in jobs out of 2,708 seek
ing employment, as against 1850
finding jobs and 3,027 registering
during the previous month. Bosto
alone still shows more than half this
unemployment with 1865 men look
ing for work and 594 placed.
New Haven has proven to be the
banner city during November, with
22S men getting jobs against 205
new applicants Conditions in
Bridgeport are not altogether salts
factory. However, despite the fact
that this city is handicapped with a
large foreign population, the Amer
lean legion in cooperation with Other
agencies has been able to place zoe
of the 1922 men registering. On the
other hand Waterbury, Conn, re-
ports conditions as very satisfactory
with the American Legion on the
job. Severe weather conditions have
brought rush OF applicants to the
employment Offices at Springfield
Mass. This city reports a greater
number of registrations and men
placed in jobs than in any other pc
Rod since August, 1877 men getting
work out of 219 applying.
Advices from Providence indicate
that the outlook in that city is very
satisfactory. Although the closing
of the Maine summer hotel season has
thrown much additional labor on the
market, Portland, Bath, Bangor and
Augusta report satisfactory progress.
In Concord and Manchester, N. H.,
conditions are good and in Burling-
ton and Motpelier there is little I'M
employment.
In making this report public Gen
eral Ham points out that notwith-
standing the fairly satisfactory stu
alton in New England, the country
as whole still faces "a genuine prob
lem. In 124 cities only 29,373 form
Ell fighting men have been placed,
while 41,321 are still looking for
