J JOBS AT CEMETERY
Ledoux Uses This Method
Among 200 Applicants at
stepping Stone"
INSISTS ON DAILY BATH
Would Solve Unemployment
Problem by 5 1-2 Hour
Work Day.

II he hasn't solved the unemployment
problem. Urban j. Ledoux at least has
solved the problem Of distributing an
inferior number OF Jobs among a supe-
rior number Of applicants, Mr.. Ledoux.
who Is in charge OF the free employment
agency and club at 2os East Ninth street
which he calls tho Stepping Stone and
which il operated under the auspices
OF the BAHIA fellowship. staged a lottery
last night among the two hundred or
more men who filled the hall and the
nifty lucky winners got tickets good for
a Job at Greenwood cemetery this morn
ing. The precise nature of their en-
ployment was not indicated.
But Mr.. Ledoux's ideas are by no
means exhausted with his lottery
scheme. Not only has he developed a
plan for determining who shall have
The Jobs when there are more applicants
than Jobs. but he also has a solution for
the whole unemployment question.
Furthermore. he believes that clean
Nness is not only next to goodness, but
Is also a large factor in securing a Job.
30 that a bath day is one of the
requirements for those who wish to re-
main on his eligible list. The bath is
provided free at the Stepping Stone.
His solution for the problem OF I'M
employment during the period OF read
5ustment Is contained in a proposal
which he hopes to have adopted at a
convention OF the unemployed to be
held May in ~ Bowery. that all those
at present employed shall work only
ave hours day and thus give at least
q half days work to their less fortunate
brothers and sisters. According to Mr..
Ledoux's survey Of the Industrial field.
this plan will allow all women who feel
that employment at war wages Is prefer
able to a domestic career to remain on
the job. Whether both OF the five-hour
shifts are to receive pay for ten hours
work was one OF the details that Mr..
Ledoux did not touch on in making the
announcement last night.
In sketching his previous career to the
reporters Mr.. Ledoux stated that he had
been United States Consul at Bordeaux
and at Prague and that he had left the
service to take up decentralization. He
was subsequently manager of the War
Departments employment agency, and
also has been connected with the War
Camp Community Service.
Mr.. Ledoux said that his employment
agency Is the outgrowth of the bread
line which he established at ~ Bowery
when the United States employment
agencies were closed. and which he
started with $500 sandwiches left over
from the lunch provided for the Twenty
seventh Division the day of the well
como homo parade. He has already
placed. he says. more than three hun
dred men in positions with local firms,
and in spite of the fact that the sue
cessful applicants have invariably been
selected by chance he has received sew
eral messages of congratulatlon on the
high calibre of the men he has sup
Piled.
