Other memorable figures in American
history, including several of the gen.

In 1916 and 1917 the regiment helped

than cavalry, was the great need In

400 EMPLOYEES
To HAVE JOBS
SAVED
Nov. is Sees New Schedule
in Effect; 400 Needy to Get
a Chance During the Winter

The District Commissioners to-
day took steps to cope with the
city's unemployment problem for
the winter by adopting a pro-
gram calling for part-time work
by 800 per diem employees in
order to provide jobs for 1000.
The program will go into effect
on November 16.
On this day, under ordinary
circumstances, the outdoor work
ing season is closed and 400 Of
the employees would be thrown
out of jobs.
1000 on the Rolls
The Commissioners pointed out
that there are 1000 per diem EN-.
ployes on the District rolls.
Eight hundred, holding posi-
tions from foremen and higher
ranks, will not be effected by the
program.
This ordinarily would leave 800
other employees on full-time pay.
In order to provide for the 400
who would be thrown out of work
November Is, and for 400 other
needy workers, the Commis'
sioners have decided to place the
800 men on an employment basis
of three days a week so that 1000
can be employed.
Must Reside Here
Cooperation of the District COM
mittee on employment will be
sought by the Commissioners in
order to make certain the new em-
ployes will be exclusively District
residents.
The commissioners pointed out
that in adopting the program it
calls for a great sacrifice on the
part of 800 employees. The aver
age pay for the per diem employ.
ment of the three-day week basis
will be between $40 and SIS per
week.
TIL type of workmen who will
be affected will be pick and
shovel workers, charwomen, coal
handlers and freight leaders. The
departments which the program
will affect are the sewer, high
ways, water and trees and park
ing.
