EMPLOYERS ATTENTION.

EMPLOYERS ATTENTION.
 Every man and woman and corpor- alton who or which employ men fin any capacity is called upon now, to- day if possible. to attend to a matter that Is of the utmost importance, practical, humane and patriotic.
 Within the next 50 or 20 days there will be number of local rehabilitat- ed veterans of the world war who will be seeking positions in this city, especially in the industries. These men have been specially trained for certain work during the last three years. They are not allowed to seek employment until they have passed rigid tests as to their ability to do the work for which they have been trained. To employ one of these men will not be an act of unselhshness, of kindness or patriotism alone. These men will be well fitted, after thorough training, to do the work for which they will apply.
 According to the representative of the United States Veterans Bureau of Connecticut, who has been in this city and who expresses himself as well pleased with the promises of cooper ation he has received, fl is the desire of the government bureau to have any department or industrial head, real estate man. insurance man or any man engaged in business who feels he needs an emnloye. communi- cate at once or as soon as possible w!th the United States Veterans Bu- fcau aSS Main street, Hartford. In this way plans may he made for tho placing of these capable, efficient men whom they are ready 10 go to work
 Just at this time when there is so much discussion concerning tho bonus, and when the whole country is united on one matter, namely the urgent need Of taking care of the formerly disabled, whatever else is done for inc former service man, this is call that should not be sighted for a moment.
 As reported in the news columns of the Herald Of yesterday. William H. Holland working under the super vision Of Captain Thomas J. Banni- gan, of tho Bureau, has seen some employers in this city and has been promised full cooperation. That he will receive cooperation in a practical way from all of the employers in this city can scarcely be questioned.
 But the time for employers to act is now. If there will be a vacancy. or f a place may be open to another man at a future date. that fact should be reported to the bureau in Hartford. If there Is an immediate opening. so much the better. The point to be emphasized is that the Veterans Bu- reau should be flooded with letters from employers or this city. giving in- formation as to what sort or a man is wanted, what sort Of work he will be~required 10 do, and any other facts which will help in getting work for these former fighters who offered everything for us. and who now. in condition to give full value for wages or salaries received. ask only for chance to add their skill, ability and knoNledgs 10 constructive work Of the country for which they were willing 10 die.
 And there Is one thing to be consid- cred in all this matter. Tn no sense are these veterans. once disabled but now placed in a position where they can do as much and as good work as another in their line, asking for char fly. They are looking for work. Tho Veterans Bureau Is helping them to find the work for which they have been fully trained T. remains for the employers Of the city to give them that work where 1t is possible 10 do so. And any employer who takes one of these rehabilitated men into his employ will be gaining a great asset
