SOLDIERS BY THE
 SCORES LOOKING FOR JOBS HERE
Federal Employment Service Helping to Place Them, But Positions
 Are Scarce

With skilled labor being layed otl in local industries and hundreds of returned soldiers making applications for work. the offices of the United States Employment Service, 1Oo Twcn- tieth street. north. presents busy scene during this current rainy period. For the iobless, the atmospheric changes seemingly interpret their mental attitude.
 Birmingham Is so thoroughly adver- tised that from every army camp in the country the returned soldier IS rushing to the portals of the Magic City" of the southland. The condition then arises of not being able even to keep in employment the local men. and vet of being forced to care for the visitors.
 Tt presents trying situation said Superintendent Louis Bowen, but We are steadily overcoming all difficult ties. We inform the visitors that the local boys haven't jobs and they must be served first. Then if there is any thing left it will come to them. That satisfies the visitors and as rule they spunkily assert they will locate a job without any aid. And they do so, for they have the incentive of having to get job or else starve.
 Naturally the laying off of hun dreds of skilled workers in the dis trict during the past few weeks nas not frightened our work in placing the returned soldier in jobs. It can he truly said that jobs are very. very few in the Birmin eham district at the present time, and we are not placing as many soldiers as we should like. And the fact that our streets are crowded with returned soldiers who are out of work should make everyone of us think whole lot"
