Show FINDING JOCS FOR FAMILIES The United States Labor Bureau is taking constructive steps toward bringing together the farmer and the man looking for a job. To give a specific illustration it has appointed a representative of the Stilern, Oregon, Y. M. C. A. to register requirements of farmers and to take names of men, women and children seeking employment. Both parties turn their names into this man and he in turn brings the employer and the employee together. This is being done early in the season to facilitate the handling of farm crops. As most farmers furnish good camp grounds, free wood, water and other conveniences, it is the aim of the Labor Department to try and encourage more "family work," in ther words, father, mother and children on the farms this coming season. It is an t'jccclk-nt idea and eliminates many abuses that have crept into professional employment agencies. It is to be hoped th-it this undertaking will prove a success at SjIciii and other points in the country where similar offices will be established. |
