KEEP THE BUREAU OPEN

1t is a worthy effort on the part of Mayor Dorsey to have
the federal employment bureau kept open in this city. That
the prospects are good for its continuation is gratifying. The
work that this bureau has done in this great industrial commun-
ity in finding employment for men and supplying the demandI
for labor fully warrants an additional appropriation on the part
of the federal government. When it is realized that over i2,1
600 men and women have found places during the past year
some idea of the volume of business done at the bureau can be,
had. The government is performing an important service I'M
maintaining these bureaus and with conditions still so unset
lied it would be a sad mistake to close them, especially in SUCH
places as Perth Amboy where so many large industries are loi
