The committee registered 1,5O6
applicants for jobs in the jObless
enrolment which was completed
last week.
Mr.. Adams, who as director of
the District Employment Commit,
tee, has worked tireleSSly since
early last winter to solve the job
less situation in Washington, is
confident that the job detecto1
force will be successful. He said
today:
"The job detectOr force,
which The Washington Times
proposes to organize as a means
Of cooperating with the EN-
plOyment Committee in its mid
summer job campaign, is strik-
ingly original and praisewOrthy.
OF Tremendous Value
This job detectOr force,
which 1 understand is to be
composed of energetic young
boys, should be of tremendous
value in locating work during
the job campaign.
1T is a well known fact that
young citizens of school age are
more familiar with conditions
in their own neighbOrhOOdS
than almost any other class Of
people.
"If the boys of the detectOr
force set out to find jobs for the
unemployed with the same zeal
and determination with which
they do other things the results
indeed will be gratifying.
Take Pride in Work
"It should be a proud mo-
ment in the life of any young
WashingtOnian when he re-
ceives word that he officially
has been designated a Washing
ton Times Job DetectOr.
"The Washington Times has
always been conspicuous for
its efforts to increase employ
ment in the District of Co
lumbia.
''It will be remembered that
last November The Times or
ganized its own free employ
ment bureau, which resulted
in the finding Of hundreds Of
jobs for persons then out Of
work.
BENEFIT AT FOX
"The Times also sponsored a
benefit performance for en-
plOyment relief at the Fox
Theater. As a result of this
effort over $4,000 was raised.
During the 1881 cleanup
campaign The Times organized
a cleanup essay contest for
public school children as q
means of interesting them in
the move to beautify Washing.
ton for 1882.
"The Job DetectOr force is
the most recent Of a long series
of pubIic-spirited efforts on The
part Of a great metropolitan
newspaper.
May it meet with the pOpu-
lar approval and success which
it richly deserves"
