10000 Men in Uniform,
Are Seeking Jobs in
State of Ne,u York

Officials of the American Soldiers
and Sailors Protective Association
told a committee of the State Recon
struction Commission, at a hearing
IN the Hall of Records yesterday. that
10000 discharged men in uniform
were at the present moment seeking
jobs in the State of New York. Thew
asserted that the government employ
ment service was failing to place these
men because it lacked the moral SUD-
port of employers and labor unions.
Lieutenant Eugene Greenhut, vice
president Of the American Soldiers
and Sailors Association, stated that
the effectiveness of his organization in
finding jobs for $50 men in two weeks
entitled it to recognition and assist
ance from the Federal or state gov
ernment He said $4,000 was needed
to extend it's work.
Tllden Adamson, who appeared for
the United States Employment Ser
vice, said that $4,000 soldiers had
been registered for jobs within the
past month, but that only 80 per cent
Of these had been placed, explaining
that the soldiers were particular about
their positions, and the service tried
to find the jobs to suit them.
Morris J.. Ernst representing the
City Club, recommended that a spe-
cial deputy commissioner be appoin,-
ed for the Federal employment ser
vice, whose sole duty it shall be to
secure jobs for discharged soldiers
and sailors.
Frank W. Smith of the Knights of
Columbus asserted that from 70 to so
per cent OF the men applying for
jobs at this organizations booths
were not New Workers..

WORKERS along the river front

question put to them by John Riley,
chairman of the executive council OF
the United Longshoremen's Unions,
at recent meeting of that body.
discussion had arisen as to
whether a longshoreman was II ste
vedore, some maintaining that steve
dore was a longshoreman, others that
he was high class longshoreman,
while others held that he wasn't a
longshoreman at all. At the height
of the debate Mr.. Riley rose and
queried:
Gentlemen, what is the difference
between a stevedore, anyway?'
A voice from the rear qucried back:
How many Mr.. Riley?"

rain was pouring outside and the
girl across the hall let tantalizing
odors escape her doorway. Suddenly
he determined to ask her for cream to
60 with his coffee.
AS he went swinging through his
doorway he almost collided with
Lydia, who stood just outside blush
ingly offering him a tray containing a
generous share of her good dinner.
Bread cast upon the waters" she
said smilingly, land the cranberries
you cast back into the bag have re-
turned to you. just couldn't bear
not to share my Thanksgiving dinner
with some one;" there was a tremu-
lous catch in her voice. "And you
seemed to be as alone as I; will you
take this?" timidly.
"You are unspeakably kind" said
the young man, as he took the tray.
"And wonderful cook BESIDES" inhal-
ing the odor Of the tempting food. ~
was coming over to ask you for some
cream on the chance that you'd be
neighborly, but didn't dream of such
a neighborliness as this"
Lydia caught the yearning glance
in his eyes as he looked through her
open doorway at the daintily set table,
and as she returned to that table there
were tears of gratitude in her own
eyes at the thought Of having at least
shared some Of her Thanksgiving with
another.
As for the young man across the
hall, he did some hard thinking as he
ate his lonely dinner. The drift of his
thinking was discernible afterward in
his muttered remarks as he stood with
his hands in his pockets and stared out
through the rain-rippled window at the
reflection of the lights in the shiny wet
street below.
"The way to a mans heart may be
through his stomach" he said. I'm
not so sure of that; but the way to
cure a taste for lone living is to try
it when you have neighbor as charm
ing as mine. I'm thankful ! tried it,
