Thirteen Branches in State.
| With thirteen branch offices in the
state, located at Butte, Helena. Mis-
soula, Billings, Bozeman, Livingston,
Miles City. Lewistown. Great Falls.
Havre, kalispell, Roundup and Glasgow,
the I. s. Employment service is better
| fitted than any private agency possibly
could be to handle the industrial pro-
! blems of Montana. From each branch
office there is sent to the state office
! in Great Falls 4 daily report of the
men needing jobs and the jobs that are
open. SO far as possible men are placed
without moving them. or by moving as
short distance as possible. Thru these
reports the state office can act as a
clearing house for labor all over the
state Going step farther, report is
sent from the state office to the de-
partment OF labor in Washington, which
acts as national clearing house, thus
closely knitting the employment service
in Montana with that of every other
state in the union.
The [. s. Employment service does
more than merely act as the agency for
common labor. 1t is the clearing house
for every field of human endeavor from
for hire to the most highly trained engi
neer. from the illiterate foreigner to
the best educated specialist in the
country. No work is too big. no job too
small for the service to fill For special
employment work of this nature there
are separate departments of the serr-
ice dealing exclusively with womenS
work. farm labor and a professional and
special department relating to highly
trained and technical labor.
One of the most important employ
ment service activities is the Bureau
for Returning Soldiers and Sailors,
which is bending its energies in many
directions TO replace demobilized men,
1t is working in every community of
the state, looking after the men when
they come home. hunting them jobs
and serving them in every possible way.
The employment service maintains
representative in each of the dcmobili-
zation camps who sees the men and
takes their applications for work, that
such employment may be waiting them
when they reach home. 1t is estimated
that. partly thru the efforts of the en-
p!oyment service. about Go per cent OF
the men have jobs ready for them when
they leave camp.
As Told in Figures.
Some idea of the bulk of work done
by the United States Employment serv-
ice in Montana can be obtained from
figures compiled from the reports of the
thirteen branch offices in the state.

public work of this nature cannot offer
real solution to the problem. 1t is at
the best an expedient to tide over until
the time when business gets readjusted
to meet the changed conditions. When
that will be it is hard to tell.
Just now We face a rather peculiar
and very unfortunate paradox. Due
both to upsets in industry and unwise
agitation on the part of certain ire
sponsible labor leaders, there is Il spirit
of unrest prevalent thruout the country.
No one knows exactly what to expect.
Until these conditions settle somewhat,
business feels chary of launching new
enterprises. On the other hand. until
business does start in earnest such con-
ditions of unrest arc bound to exist, to
some extent at least
Any agitation at this time, when there
is naturally more or less turmoil due TO
the unexpected termination of the war.

gain. 1t retards rather than hastens the
return to normal state of affairs. That
the Iaboring man has both the right and
the power to govern certain conditions
under which he works no one will gain
say. But that business and laboring con-
ditions can be changed overnight from 4

way, and it is with this other way that
the United States employment service
deals.
The migratory class long were the
support OF private labor agencies. These
agencies exploited the men, worked the
old "three- gang" system on them; did
everything they could to keep them NOV
ing, for the faster they changed their
jobs the oftener the agencies got their
fees 1t was to the interest of the agen-
cy to foster labor turnover, and very
naturally the laboring man, not know
ing. or at least powerless against the
real cause. felt a grievance against So
city. In the hands of the United States
employment service all this is changed.
The service tries to find the right man
for the job and impresses on every man
sent out TO a job that he owes an OBJ
LEGATION to give a fair days labor for a
fair days pay; that if he is to get a
fair deal from his employer he must
give a square deal himself: that his en-
ployer's interests are directly his own.
To the employer the decrease in labor
turnover means an an increase in eff
cheney and consequently better work. by
giving the migratory laborer better
chance to make good. by inducing him to
take an interest in what he is doing. by
giving him a square deal his whole out
look on life and his attitude toward So
ciety can often be changed. In direct
proportion to the decrease of the mi
gratory laboring class. wanes the power

ance doubly sure. Their bodies have
since been recovered.
The fact that Prince Ivor had bound
his wounds with pieces of his linen shirt
showed he survived some time. None of
this party was robbed for jewels and
money were found on the bodies which
have been now placed in a crypt in To-
cal church.
Evidence regarding Grand Duke Mich
ael, the cars brother, indicates he also
is dead. He was living in hotel in
Perm, in June, with his wife, his secre-
tary, his secretary's wife, a maid and
valet, all members of the party being
free to move within the town.
One night his valet reported to the To-
cal soviet that the grand duke had been
taken away by an armed band. The So
Wet made show of sending out search
ing party, which returned without the
grand duke, and the inference is strong
he was murdered that night.
All the rest of the party were removed
to Jail and subsequently shot except the
valet, who, on September 5. was taken
out in the middle of the night with an
other party, including Countess Hen
drikov and Mademoiselle Schneider.
When outside the town they were halted
beside a ditch. The valet jumped the
ditch and ran. After three steps in the
darkness he tripped and fell, thereby
escaping the shots fired after him. This
man, who is now in Toblosk, heard the
shooting of the party from which he
escaped while hiding in adjacent woods.
Great Falls daily tribune., 1919-02-23

There is evidence that Princess Anas-
tasia, who was alive after the shooting,
was dubbed to death. This and other
statements regarding the action of the
two commissaries has come indirectly
from eyewitnesses.
Subsequent examination of the cham
Der where the crime was committed
showed II bullet holes in the walls and
floor and marks of several bayonet
thrusts.
Many bullet holes are tinged with blood
and all appear so low in the walls as to
indicate the probability that the unfor-
tunate victims were kneeling when shot.
Those intimate with the cars family
say they would surely have knelt and
prayed when made aware of the fate
about to overtake them.
The floor of the chamber was washed
to remove traces of the crime, but when
boards were removed from the concrete
foundation under bullet holes the floor
was found saturated with blood. Alto
gether, the evidence was accepted as
proving that all the royal family died in
this room.
The next day party of bolshevists
proceeded to Alapyevsk, town in the
neighborhood of Ekaterinburg. where
relatives of the royal family were con-
fined. Here seven of the house of Ro-
manoff. including Grand Duke Sergius
Michaelovitch and Princes John and Iver,
seven in all. were forced into the shafts
of deep. disused mines and killed. Bombs

BULLET HOLES SHOWN IN ROOM
WHERE RULER AND FAMILY ARE
REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN SLAIN

Omsk, Feb 22.-By degrees the fate
of the Russian royal family is being
made clear. The following information,
| elected after careful inquiry, may be re-
lied upon generally. Contrary to com
mon belief. there is little doubt that the
car and his family were all murdered
together at Ekaterinburg, but, whereas
the bolshevists publicly boasted they
killed the cZar, they appear ashamed of
having slain the czarina and his children
and concealed the facts in reference to
them.
The royal family we're confined in a
villa on the main street of Ekaterinburg,
their jailer being a commissioner named
Yerovisky.
Evidence indicates that at about .
o'clock in the morning of July IT, the
whole party, including the czar. the czar-
ina, the czareyitch, four princesses, a
DIR. Bokdin, cook and mail-12 in all
were brought to the basement of the
house, a room Il feet by 16. Here the
verdict of the revolutionary tribunal was
read. Immediately after which 1erovisky
shot the ear with revolver. Another
commissioner named Medivedieu shot the
cZarina.
Whether others joined in the shooting
is not made clear. but all were ruthlessly
killed at the same time and their bodies
taken away with a motor lorry and buried
in a place not discovered.

transferred TO Camp Mills, where he was
assigned to the Montana national guard
and became part of the 41st division.
On Christmas eve his unit landed in Eng

to July, 1918, and took part in a number
of local engagements. In July he was
moved to the Champagne sector where
he assisted in repulsing the last great
German offensive, which was launched
on July ii and Is. For three days he
was in the midst of terrific fighting. The
division was then moved to Chateau
Thierry and assisted in the drive that
sent the Germans back to the Vesle.

What fate befell the car of Russia and his
family? Contradictory reports make of them
another of the great mysteries of European
history.
What became Of the Austrian archduke,
John Salvador? Was the Myerling tragedy of
Archduke Rudolph and Marie Vetsera, one of
murder or suicide? Who was the Man in the
Iron Mask? Was Marshal Ney really execu-
ted, or did he come to the United States and
become resident of North Carolina?
There have never been satisfactory answers
to these questions. There may never be sat-
isfactory answer to solve the doubt as to the
fate of the Romanoff family.
Meanwhile two contradictory stories as to
their vanishing from out of the history of the
day persist. One has them shot by the bolshe-
Wiki at Ekaterinburg The other, more fascin-
ating, says they are alive and in seclusion, kept
in the background awaiting the day when
Nicholas Lenine, the Russian bolshevik pre-
mier, intends to bring them forth and restore
the monarchy.

this be advisable, for such course would
be nothing more than an expedient, but
it can bring the workman and the job
together and insist on a square deal at
both ends. And this is the mission that
the United States employment service
seeks to perform.
The United States today faces one of
the greatest industrial problems that has
ever arisen during its history. The war
stopped q year before anyone expected.
Labor thruout the nation had been mob

A neat, rather distressed little woman
walked into the local office of the en-
ployment service one morning a week or
so ago. She had come to Great Falls in
search of employment and, being handi-
capped by inexperience, she knew not
where to go first After losing her hus-
band she tried to support herself IN the
little town where they had lived. Fail
ing in this, she came TO the city in hopes
of bettering her condition. Never hav-
ing worked out before she had failed to
give satisfaction at the one place where
she worked. She came into the employ
ment office utterly discouraged.
Questioning developed that she was a
skilled seamstress in small way. Room
and board in a congenial place were Sc
cured for her, machine placed at her
disposal and suggestions made for her
start in business. A week later the lit
tie woman came into the office to thank
the service. She had made good and her
face glowed with the justifiable pride Of
earned success.

He was with the boys all the time IN the

ing to shortage of men, ammunition

He had made several trips carrying shells

him. When the attack was over. there
