Depression Has Taught
Lesson Says Urban
League Secretary

League oecretary
81 don't care what the race or be-
lief of man is on my Job. de-
mahd but one thing: This building
must go up" These were the words
spoken to Joseph S. jackson, secre-
tary of the Seattle Urban League by
the representative of an important
construction company recently be-
ginning a job in Seattle. And if "the
building is to go up" every man
must give days work for days
pay.
while many of the persons sent
out by the Urban League to jobs
have been willing to work that the
building might go up many have
not" says Mr.. Jackson. an spite
of well organized and pathetic pleas
at the office when application Is
made, some still get sick or have
dental trouble and disappear from
the job, returning four or five days
later and expect to find the employ
er ready to greet them with open
arms.
ITO large snumber of persons,
the depression has taught at least
one lesson: make yourself indispen-
sable to your job" Mr.. Jackson says
this can be done through arriving in
plenty of time to go to work prompt
ly, by forgetting to watch the clock
as the afternoon grows long and
slow, by studying the job to find the
many wars to improve it and the
ability to serve in the position WELL
These lessons will hold one in good
stead long after the depression has
been forgotten, and if we, in the
Northwest, are to survive in indus
try here, we must learn these lessons
and learn them we'll.
