Fort Peck and Unemployment
GAN MITORIAL)

Two thousand additional men have been put 70
work on the Fort Peck project during the past month
or SIX weeks. Of this number, Ten have been called
from Sheridan county. Since the opening Of the huoe
project. a total of SIXTY men from this county have
found employment, while more than 700 are regis
tered with the local office for positions.
Contrast this with Daniels county. with half tha
population OF Sheridan, where two hundred have
been placed!
The rules of the PWA very plainly provide thar
unemployed nearest government projects be given
preference when men are needed. The roster from
the home county is to be exhausted first. then ad;ac-
et counties, and when none are obtainable from the
state OF Montana, men may be engaged from anoth-
er state.
Many men from other states have found emplov-
ment at Fort Peck, while, witt drouth stalk;na tIa
