reau at Eighteenth and D Streets,
is indeed news to the hundreds
of us who have trekked from
day to day into the place seek
ing work.
I have been going to this bu-
reau regularly ever since it
opened and have not heard of
anybody getting a job through
it, nor have I, out of the many
I have talked to, heard them say
they ever heard of anyone get
ting a job through the bureau.
Last week we were told to come
in early Monday morning, that
they had something good" Quite
a few came and were given cards
to an address in the 1900 block
of o st. N. w. We we're told at
the bureau that only ex-service
men were to be employed. so we
sailed forth in high hopes. The
o Street address happened to be
in an alley, and found about 25
men, white and colored, crowded
in a small kitchen over a garage
listening to gentleman explain
how to peddle tire covers, adver-
tiSing various products and events.
A. canvass of those present showed
two cooks, three truck drivers,
two walters. four painters, and
the remainder, laborers of Vari-
Gus kinds. There were three who
said they were statesmen.
After listening to the gentle
man explain the merits of the
tire cover and tell how easy they
we're to sell, we we're told to re-
turn the next day for further i'll
structions.
Realizing the irnposslbility Of
the proposition, I did not return.
This is the first job or chance
for job that I have heard Of
the bureau having.
I beg of you sir, in fairness to
the eX-Service men and to the
readers of your paper to send
one of your scribeS around to the
bureau to get the facts, if they
are to be had.

ton, did any golf club ever open
its season with brass band on the

the pro duties at the Anderson

the finder brothers, Bill and Bob
