declared.
You have noticed that the wage
reduction does not affect any Of the
high ups. They slash from the
bottom, but not one OF the officials
themselves has even recommended
that his own pay be cut.
IF the Administration is sincere
in its desire to fulfil its campaign
pledge of saving the Taxpayers
money. there are plenty OF ways OF
doing it without cutting a fourth OF
the pay from the wages OF the
toilers. Let the cut begin with the

At Creston there were 81 registra-
lions Of farm hands. Of these 20 were
referred to the positions open and all
were placed.
1897 Teachers Registered.
The Iowa City office registered 1,197
teachers during the month. There
were but 23O positions listed as open
at the time, 800 persons being referred
and only nineteen placed thus far. As
has been noted, the majority Of these
positions will not be open until the
fall term of school.
These figures show that there were
1.121 men referred to positions in the
state. OF these $50 were placed at
work. There were 1,224O women re-
ferred to positions and PSI placed at
work.
OF the whole total of 1851 persons
referred, GAG were placed, or total
of 40 per cent. But excluding teachers
there were 80 per cent Of the total
referred placed at work.
Commenting on the labor situation
this spring as compared with last
year, the labor commissioner declared
that last year when farm hands were
wanted in any section of the state
the employment office did not hesitate
to send men to them for the next ter
days following, but that this year ]!
was impossible to follow that plan as
most of the positions were filled as
soon as the employer made known his
