the only safe plan OF farming in any

the time.

between the employers and the $4,000
union workers who have been on strike
IN the shipyards since January 21.
A telegram from Mr.. Pez to the
shipbuilders said:
=. "lnasmuch as the Emergency Fleet

work to-day. 1p nearly all cases full

cision to employ only Americans or
those who had declared their intention
of becoming citizens of the United

Every week the entire city is can
vassed to see that there are no Jobs
untitled" said DR.. Kirchwey. "The
council makes a house-to house, store
to-store and factory to-factory canvass.
Getting in Touch With Men
1--WE make just as much effort to get
in touch with men and women who
need jobs. At the camps we ask the
men if they want the same jobs they
the employers to see whether che jobs
are open. If the old jobs are not open
we learn from the men their require
ments and abilities and try to place
them.
"In the case of the New York troops
who are still in France We have at
tempted through the War Department
to induce Major General O'Ryan to as
certain the industrial status of the
men while they are on the transports
coming home. By the time the men
arrive, we hope, lists will be available
which will enable US to provide jobs
for the New York boys With the least
possible delay"
DR.. Kirchwey called attention to the
work being done by the professional
division ut 16 East Forty-second Street.
This division is in charge of Captain
William Scott Murtfeldt. It's work ex-
tends over this state, Connecticut and
Northern New Jersey.
100 Jobs Worth $264,OOO
The division was organized less than
six weeks ago, and in the last thirteen
days has found jobs for 100 out of 600
men who applied. Employers are ask
ing the division for men at the rate of
sixty-sevcn day. The average salary
is $4,000. Captain Murtfeldt estimated
that the salaries paid in the 100 Jobs
found this month would aggregate
1924, 900 a year.
It was explained that the reason
only about ore-fifth Of those who have
applied have been placed is because of
the highly technical character of some
Of the positions. Since February
1,O18 jobs have been available.
Miss Mary Tolman, in charge Of the
women's branch of the division, said
that since February l 232 applications
for jobs had been received, So jobs of
fered and az filled.
