DETRoIT'S JOBS ALL TAKEN.
Ex-service Men Are Warned
Against Going to Lake City.

Don't go TO Detroit r'-this iE the
gist of a warning issued to all dis
charged soldiers and sailors by Col.
Arthur Woods. assistant to the Secre-
tary of War before his resignation yes
terday.
Widespread circulation has been given
TO a report among returned service men
to the effect that this city Is greatly in
need of men and that they can readily
md Jobs in the automobile industries.
As result thousands of ex-service men
have gone there, thereby taxing to the
utmost Detrolt's housing facilities.
= Don't make for Detroit Just because
come chance acquaintance happens to
tell you that there are plenty OF good
Jobs there for the asking" is Col.
Woods advice. when you get there
you will in all probability be disap-
pointed in finding that Detroit is work
ing over the problem OF caring for its
own returning men,"
Employment figures show that of all
the men applying in Detroit for en-
pioyment 96 per cent are from out of
Town, and the reports of the welfare
organizations show that practically all
men applying for financial help do not
live there. notwithstanding this bur-
den Detroit has responded to the oc-
easion and has succeeded in finding Jobs
Tor many OF these men. However, the
Influx OF labor during the past few
months has been so great that nearly
AL the really good Jobs have been
taken

Sympathy Denial Late.

Sympathy Denial Late.
In August. about two weeks after or
ganization of the Municipal Employees
Association was projected, public asser-
ton was made that the city adminlstra-
ton was sympathetic. This was not
denied until yesterday. Meanwhile some
of the members of the association had
begun clamoring for a so per cent. ad-
vance and otherwise disrupting the sup
posed conservatism of the alliance. 1t
is understood that following meeting
at the Palm Garden last Monday night,
in which the extremists supplied con-
siderable oratory, rebuke was privately
administered from City Hall. This is
what caused the association, meeting
again on Friday night, to adopt resolu-
tions praising the Mayor and the ad-
ministration and to indicate moderation
in Its further proceedings. (
At present the city government has
little to fear from organized labor as
such. The firemen and the sweepers,
drivers and hoStlers of the Street Clean

their requests as city groups and not as

The Municipal Employees Associa-

enjoy the favor of Mayor Hylan. A
suggestion to the contrary so disturbed
the Mayor yesterday that he said for
publication:
