reau for returning soldiers. sailors
and marines in the District.
Unless the United States employ
ment service is continued" Mr.. Edison
wrote, II believe that we will have
serious troubles. besides causing dis
ordered conditions. that will cost
for Its continuance and permanent
establishment"
Mr.. Edison calls attention to the re-
cent letter of Col. Arthur Woods. as
sistant to the Secretary of War, AK
ing that funds be provided in the sun
dry civil bill to maintain the federal
employment service next year. you
will note" he adds. that Col. Woods
clearly says that the United States
employment service is the only COM
prehensive placement machinery for
soldiers and sailors. His letter fully
corrects any erroneous impression
that may prevail that the War De-
partment has machinery of it's own
for the actual placement of soldiers
From his observation in the District
and throughout the country, Mr.. Ed
son says. he is convinced that a COM
prehensive national employment serv-
ice is needed. II am hopeful that
Congress will provide an adequate ap-
preparation to continue the service on
and after July 1. 1919. and enact leg
