STATE EMPLOYMENT
SERVICE CELEBRATES
Free Job Service inaugural
ed i'm Ohio AZ Years Ago

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus. nineteen Offices of
the Ohio State Employment Service
are observing the forty-seventh ami
versary of the founding of the system
this month.
Forty years ago in June the
Ohio general assembly enacted legis-
lation providing for creation of free
public employment offices, distingu-
ishing the state as pioneer in social
legislation as the first in the Union
to take such steps.
Organized labor played an inpor-
tant part in the founding of free en-
ployment service, manifesting inter-
est which was one of the motivating
circumstances leading up to the en-
abling legislation. The Municipal La
Dor Congress of Cincinnati took an
active part in introducing the measure
in the legislature.
The first office was opened in To-
ledo on June 26, 1890. Opening OF
similar offices in other cities followed
soon afterward: Dayton, June 80
Cleveland, July 1; Cincinnati, July 25
and Columbus, September 2, all in the
same year.
In the first half year the five orig
inal offices operated, total of $685.
persons obtained jobs through tn,
service, while the present 19 office:
returned nearly 10000 persons to EN-
ployment in private industry in th'
first four months of this year.
Supported by city, state and fedora
governments, the employment service
operates at the present time as ;
division of the department of indus
trial relations, with offices in all prin
cipal Ohio cities working under the ad
ministrative office in Columbus.
It serves employers from profes
sional selection of an entire staff TO
factory to new maid for the home
1t brings to the job hunter more open
ings for employment than he coul'
possibly find by his own efforts
Through a national clearance system
openings from all other states not fill
ed by local people are made available
With the advent Of unemployment
compensation in Ohio, the employment
service assumes new and greater re
sponsibility in the administration o
unemployment benefits. The law re
quires that all claims for unemploy
ment compensation must be pai
through the Offices of the Ohio Stat
Employment Service.
Because of its new role, jurisdiction
over the Ohio State Employment Serv
ice will pass from the department Q
industrial relations to the unemploy
ment compensation commission O.
