Employment Bureau Has
Aided 1900 i'm 3 Years
Seek to Hold Disconnected
Workers in Old Jobs to
Sane Changes.
BY GEORGE E. GILL
Director Of Indianapolis Employment
Bureau

At the end of it's third year of
activity the Indianapolis Employ
ment Bureau has registered to-
tai of 13,413 different people seek
ing employment, and has given in
formation and advice to 1878 addi-
tional persons whom it did not
register.
The bureau is maintained by the
Indianapolis Foundation and serves,
without charge, employers and per-
sons seeking employment.
During this time the bureau made
7.l42 referralS to positions and has
made 1897 placements.
Applicants Vary
Our applicants vary i'll age, edu-
cation, ability, experience, person.
atty and preferences. We try to
help them find the kind Of work
they want and for which they are
fitted. We realize, too, that we
must send only to the employer the
kind of worker he wants.
If we do not have one who we
feel will qualify, we say so frankly.
According to cooperative arrange
ments with other free bureaus in
indianapolis we handle office. sales,
technical and professional men and
all white women; Office and cleri-
cal, as well as domestic, factory, no.
tel and restaurant women workers.
Our applicants include expe-
rienced Office men and women who
have held executive and semi
executive positions, as well as ca
pable StenographerS, typists and
clerical workers.
Save Many to Jobs
Many of the people whom we adj
wise, but do not register, are ON the
verge of quitting their jobs when
they come to us. We try to make
them think seriously before quit
ting. particularly. if they doc not
have another job to which they
can go.
There are some who feel that
they are not making progress fast
enough. Instead of trying to find
their weaknesses and correct them,
they try to throw the blame on
some one else, or say that their
employer will not give them a
square deal.
Others sometimes have an oppor-
tunity in their own company, but
fail to recognize it. We recall a
case of this kind:
A 32-year-old stenographer, who
had been with her present employer
only six months and who had been
put in charge of a department
where it appeared that she had a
chance to show what she could do,
felt that she was losing out because
she did not get to take as much
stenographic dictation as she for
merly did
She Is Satisfied
We convinced her that she had
been promoted instead of being de-
NOTED. Then we set about to show
her how she might grow into a big
ger job. She reports that she is
making excellent progress.

KEPT CHECK Five YEARS

Doubt Now Expressed if Late War
Veterans Estate Can Get Cash.
BIZ Times Special
PORTLAND, Ind, Jan. "A check
for $27.50 payable to Benjamin Sas-
ser, Civil War veteran, who died
here recently may never be cashed.
Angry because his claim for $55
for a COW killed by a Muncie- Port
land interurban car five years ago
was not allowed, Sasser never in
dorsed the check for $27.50 which
was the company's idea of what the
COW was worth.
AS Sasser has never signed a re-
lease for the traction company. it is
probable his estate will realize moth
ing from the check.
