Bryan advised "Wednesday. MY OH
sorvations lead mo to believe there
are fully fifty men for every job. 30
for every man for whom We found
employment, there were 40 others
that needed II. one needs work ns
,impcratively as the other, 50 II is
mot material which geta It. The only
distinction exercised is that Tulsa
men and women ar given prefer
ence In dealing out the jobs.
my mission IN 10 find work for
those other 40 men who arc ready
to take each one offered. It's n big
undertaking, and II can ME accom-
pllshed only II citizens create work
and let us know about II. And we
can't afford TO bc dilatory about
creating this work. II IL our duty
to help these unfortunate persons.
They don't want To beg or ask for
assistance from charitable institu-
tions--;hy want TO work and earn
money. Many OF them would be-
come destitute rather than solicit
charity, Poverty has not dulled
their sense of pride,
And II IL the duty of business
men to help small contractors who,
if given a little capital, could oh
tain contracts that would mean the
temporary employment OF perhaps
several men, When II is known that
such contractors are responsible
business houses should IL possible
loan or rent tools TO them.
"a case In point came up yester-
day. man who has lived In Tulsa
two years told me II he could bor-
row $40 he could obtain a contract

find employment for himself hui
also for three more men for week
