Tammany Hall is the most notori-
Gus and ill-smelling political ma
chine in the United States; therefore
there is public interest everywhere
in the fact that Tammany has car
ried Greater New York. After all 1t
is simply trading off the existing
New York machine for the old Tam
many band wagon which the great
metropolis has used as a safe and
certain carry-all in the past. New
York knows Tammany and does not
fear it. They'll tell you that it is
meek and mild in comparison to
other political machines such as are
found in Louisiana and number
of other states. Do not overlook the
fact that the Roosevelt New Deal
under the leadership of James A.
Farley gave Tammany it's vacation
from which it has returned vic
torious.

What The Employment Service Does
For Workers

The Employment Service Is charg-
ed with the responsibility of bring

less jobs. This Service operates
without charge either to workers or
10 employers.
Jobs filled by the public employ
ment offices are of three primary
types: (1) with private employers;
CD in public employment-that Is
on work of regular governmental
units, Federal, State, or local con-
struction projects; and CD on work.
relief projects. Placements in private
employment now compose the great
est part of all placements made
through the Offices.
The employment service Office re-
ceives applications from workers.
men and women-in every conceiv-
able occupation; road laborers,
skilled building tradesmen, machin-
lists, Office clerks, stenographers,
chefs, mattresses, household workers,
engineers, architects, nurses, teach
ers. Employers call upon the en-
ment service Office for workers OF
all types. The manager attempts to
fill each job with the best qualified
worker, and he endeavors to place
each applicant in a suitable job.
The employment service Office is
not to be confused with a relief
agency. 1t has no direct financial aid
to offer any applicant. 1t can refer
an applicant to a job when an en-
pioyer has given notice that he has
job which is vacant. Although the
service can never guarantee a job,
each applicant who enters an en-
ployment office has right to per-
sonal attention, to an intelligent
hearing, and to the assurance that
he will receive consideration on amy
job for which he is qualified.
Veterans are served by veterans
placement representatives in
each Stdte-who work through the
regular employment offices to see
mat legal employment preferences
lor Veterans are observed and that
veterans employment opportunities
are stimulated. Physically handicap
ped job seekers are aided by coop
erative arrangements between the
State employment service and the
State rehabilitation agencies. Agri-
cultural workers, particularly mi
gratory farm workers, are helped in
their search for employment by farm
Placement supervisors. In cOOperat-
ing with schools in many commun-
tiles, the employment service offers
specialized employment and coun-
selling service for young job seekers.
Claimants for unemployment COM
pensation benefits must not only
register for work at employment OF
fees, but must also report regularly
to local employment ONCE to show
that they are available for work.
This is one of the requirements fol-
continued eligibility for benefit
payments.

War, neutrality, embargoes, and
restrictions, have spread darkness
over the face of the deep, and
American ships do not know wheth-
er they are going to see the ports
they made in the days of peace.
Panama seems to be courted by
some American shipping companies
that want to register their fleets in
that country. The neutrality act was
supposed to close all loopholes by
which American ships could be
ransferred-butt that appears to be
a doubtful supposition. Ship own
ers are in a plight and if there is
/ way out they want to find it.

For long time now, the American
Federation of Labor and the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations
have been at war. EARLY this year,
President Roosevelt called upon
them to make peace. Acting on that
request, the leaders of both groups
negotiated over period of weeks,
suspended their talks last April,
and have since been back at war.
In all that time, the A. F. of l..
and the C. I. o. have helped neither
themselves, the rank-and-file of
labor, nor the nation as a whole.
Now, once more, President Roosevelt
has called for a resumption of peace
efforts. Next January, according to
present expectations, both sides will
try to reach an understanding.

Muller four times President OF the
Advertising Club of Baltimore, and
Chairman of the first State Publicity
Commission appointed by Governor
Richie in 1927, was named Chair
man of the Commission.
One of the two representatives OF
the Chesapeake Bay area will be

izer and leading spirit in the Chesa-
peake Bay Fishing Fair Association

Not Given Enough Publicity
Governor O'Conor in announcing
the personnel of the new Commits
sion said: Everyone familiar with
the natural advantages Of Maryland
has realized that sufficient efforts
have not been made to acquaint the
people Of other states with our
abundant possessions. From every
standpoint, it would seem that
benefits will accure to our citizens
If "a well-considered program were
to be launched, stressing what
Maryland has to offer.
I'm order to establish this per-
manent agency, an appropriation Is
now available, and will be continued
through annual ALLEGATIONS. BY in
viting the people of other states to
Maryland through invitations which
will outline our peculiar advant-
ages, we are convinced that Mary
land will be more appreciated the
more it, and its possessions, are
known"

Brother w. Leonard Ashbridge at the

Although he has been in bed for

Brother Ashbridge remarked that
rain had fallen last week. the first

The Mutual shop committee reports
that they are working five days a

President Templeton ordered the

July and August. This makes it very
inconvenient as most employees cannot
get their checks cashed until Monday.
