Urban League Reports
Employment Is Slack

There is dearth of employment
in Seattle, according to, the report OF
Joseph s. Jackson, executive secre.
tary to the executive committee at
a meeting Wednesday at the Cham
Der of Commerce. The League was
able to find employment for three
persons only during the past month.
The Jobs secured were locker room
attendant, maid and a waiter. There
is tendency on the part of en-
ployers to get workers for very low
wages or for room and board, Mr..
Jackson reported. Women are ask
ed to give full time work for part
time pay. Many workers have flock
ed to Seattle seeking work and have
become stranded, thereby increasing
the burden of relief agencies. Com
mittees were named by the board to
work on the plans for day nursery,
activities among boys, vocational
guidance and the Urban League an
nual banquet. 5000 was reported
as net receipts of an entertainment
staged by VIM. Bowman for the Com
munity Fund.
