Editorial

Just a suggestion to
employers - state, coun-
ty, city, railroad and
others.
You are going to need
a lot of emergency labor
to clean up slides and
other damage done by
the storm.
Use thought in the hir-
ing. Try to distribute
this work among the
jobless men that most
need it. Parcel the work
out intelligently and it
will do a lot to relieve a
bad situation.
And do the work
promptly. The damage
must be remedied and in
the remedying you can
give a Christmas present
of at least a temporary
job to many men who
desperately need it.
