UNEMPLOYED OF TOWN TO BE LISTED; JOB SEEKERS WARN ED TO PASS UP WRANGELL

With the cooperation of Louis olsen's Billiard Hall and the Drift Inn. The Wrangell Sentinel is un- dertaking to establish a free em- ployment service in Wrangell.

 These places will also have on hand register cards to be furnished by The Sentinel. which applicants for employment should fill out and return to the office of The Sentinel.
 The Sentinel will maintain card file of all applicants for work who turn In one of these cards, and will undertake to notify men of employ ment available. and employers of men available.
 Cards will be filed according to the trade or occupation of the ap- plicant, and not according to name, but special effort will be made to place married men who are perma- nent residents of Wrangell
 There will be no charge of any kind for this service, either by The Sentinel or by the Drift Inn or Louis 0lsen's Billiard Hall. The success of the undertaking will depend in part on how many men take advan- tage of it, and all men, either unem- ployed or expecting to be unemploy- ed are urged to register. Cards may be obtained either at The Sem tinel office or from either of the two billiard halls mentioned.
 The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has been re- quested to issue notice to Seattle papers to the effect that working conditions in Wmngell are no bet ter here than elswhere, and that men should not flock to Wrangell expecting to find unlimited work
