EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
SHOWS HEALTHY GROWTH

Great Falls, January 16.-With the
close of the year 1918 the United
States employment service completed
the fifth month of it's existence in
Montana. Figures compiled at the Of
flee of Federal Director Scott Leavitt
show a healthy growth Of the service
during that period, and further, a
growing confidence in the service both
from the laboring man and woman and
from the employer.
Organized for the purpose of assist
ing munitions manufacturers and 9TH
err big employers engaged in war work
and to prevent loss of time between
jobs for employees, the service was
expanded until now all classes of la
Dor are served, from the person seek
ing help for an hour to the profess
sional man and oma technically
trained to fill positiins of trust. In
the state of Montana the service
reached a high point of efficiency
right at the time when it "a of the
most value to the farmer in harvesting
the grain crops.
That was a time when labor was
far more scarce than at any time in
the history of the country. Thous-
ands of men had been called to the ma
TONS armed forces, while thousands
of others had been shipped to the
country's seaboard for work in the
shipyards.
During the five months covered in
the report compiled at the office OF
the federal director of employment fol

dominated by farm interests that were
not inclined to give the workers the
consideration labor men believe should
have been given.
In spite of the apparent increasing
degree of unemployment in cities the
conference maintained that there is
and will be a shortage of farm labor.
The conference went on record to
petition congress to remove all bars
to immigration in order that unre-
stricted immigration may flow into
the United States.
The American Federation of Labor
will oppose any legislation in this di-
rection.
AS it stands, organized labor uses
the high cost of living to keep wages
at a figure so high nc farmer can af-
ford to employ it, and the cost OF
farm production cannot come down
without a larger supply of cheaper
farm labor.

AGRICULTURAL LABOR.

For the development of the resour-
ces of the west nothing would help so
much as an abundance of available
farm labor. By this is not meant
school children, women, store clerks,
city buns, tramps or labor that must
be forced to work.
Organized labor, composed of skill
led men and women in the trades I'M
ions would lose nothing from alum
dance of farm labor.
San Francisco labor leaders appear
to be dissatisfied with the outcome
of the farm labor conference held in
the Ferry building recently.

saion is desired with a particular person and the con-
nection is established and conversation held with that per-

fort, the rate for such calls is about one-fourth greater
than the "station to station rate.
This "person to person" rate is computed on the day rate
between the points involved, whether the call is made
during the day or during the night, and the minimum
charge is zoe.
No person to person" call is accepted where the "station
to station" rate is less than 15c.

mite specified time at which he will talk on a "person to
person" basis and the conversation is held at the speci-
fled time, the appointment rate applies.

tween the points involved, whether the call is made during

FORCED TO WAIT FOR NEWS
People Got information Slowly Before
the Invention Of the Telegraph

Today when the latest news of the
day is flashed all Over the world by
wire and wireless, we are apt to
forget the difficulties Of gathering
news before telegraphs were in gen
eral operation. The earliest fast news
courier service of record was reported
by Marco Polo, who relates that Geng-
his Khan, ruler of Chinese Tartary in
the thirteenth century, sent relays Of
cOuriers across the country, covering
about 300 miles each day.
David Hale manager Of the New
York Journal of Commerce from 1927
until some time in the 30's, found his
paper shut out of news-gathering
combination, so he organized an indie
pendent service. He first created a
private news boat service, which en-
abled him to scoop all his competitors
In bringing the first news of the French
revolution to this country During the
exciting period of Jackson's admins
tration he established horseback ex-
