Men Assemble SInaly.
First one makes his appearance
and stands waiting at this curb. but
1t is not long before he is Joined
by another. They seldom come in
pairs. Sometimes they talk or read
newspapers, but generally they just
stand and wait. They hold their
places on both sides of the street,
most often in single line, but
when there are many seekers for
employment the line doubles. The
prospective employer appears and
walks UP and down the row to
scrutinize the men. He selects one
or more as most likely to meet his
wants. The rest look hard at en-

The men who land the work walk
off with their new bosses. The
others hang around until about
twelve o'clock, in the hope of a
belated job turning up, and then
the line melts away, not to be
formed again until the following
morning. Generally the men depart
one by one. There is not much com

The police do not enforce against
