COMMISSIONERS URGE
HIRING OF VETERANS
Appeal to Local Employers-Say
Rehabilitated Men Are
Well Trained.

\ proclamation appealing TO
Washington business men to give
every possible consideration to re-
habilitated ex-service men seeking
employment was issued by the Com
missionerS today.
The Veterans Bureau is about to
graduate 2S7 men locally. and the
Commissioners point out that it is in
the interest of the general public
good that the Commissioners urge
upon every employer in the District
of Columbia who may need workers
in any capacity to consider the pos
sibility Of using some of these men
who have demonstrated their merits
by their service TO the country. The
employment of these men is not a
matter of charity as they have bee
requisite of employment must be
met"
OF the total number graduating, 155
are professional men and 112 are me-
chanics and tradesmen. The procla-
nation further states:
1t is undoubtedly the duty of all
citizens of the District to show their
appreciation of the service rendered
by these men and to see that they
are given employment in the voca atoms
for which they have been fitted by
their education under the direction
of the Veterans Bureau.
THE bureau does not ask an en-
ployer to accept a man for employ
ment in any occupation where his
disability will constitute a vocational
handicap and not until he has been
trained to such a degree of employ
ment that he is able to compete with
normal workers. The return of these
men to employment is vitality linked
with the economic interest of all
classes of our people"
