RED CROSS MAN URGES
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

The government office must be
kept open for the purpose OF supply
ing returned soldiers and sailors with
jobs and employers with returned
men.
His purpose expressed in those
words, Frank Manning, representfns
.ths Northwest division of the Amerf-
can Red Cross for civilian relief, is
In Pendlston today. Mr.. Manning has
already obtained pledges of support
from the city of Pendleton and the
Umatilla County Patriotic Service
League, and is circulating a petition
among farmers, grain companies and
other large employers to convince the
county court that public sentiment is
with the scheme and that the county
should fall in line with its support.
The government employment agen-
cies performed a great and good
work" Mr.. Manning said today. land

ever, made no provision for their
maintenance and local agencies of
government must support them. II
the people show. by their support.
that they want the agencies made a
permanent institution, the next ses-
sion of congress undoubtedly will en-
act legislation to that end"
The Red Cross is interested not
only in returned men being given en-
ployment, but has at heart the inter
est of civilians as we'll. The govern
ment employment agency is a great
step forward in lettering conditions OF
obtaining work. the organization be-
lieves.
The proposition set forth by Mr..
Manning is for the city. county and
Patriotic Service league to share the
expense of maintaining the officei
here until congress reconvenes and
legislation perpetuating the system
is passed. Not more tn~n three
months will see this accomplished, he
believes, With the quota furnished
