Smith, director of the Oregon bureau. Although government funds will not be available to carry on this work, the various cities and towns of Oregon are so vitally interested in the welfare of tbc returning soldiers and sullora-tba the citizens, almost with one accord, have come forward to maintain these branch bureau until such a time as th irovernment anln appropriates suffi tlent money to carry on the work. :Ur mm 4 .tatarla Talaatrer. "Kuarene and Astoria are the first to me forward with offers to maintain these employment bureaus for soldiers nd sailors." said Mr. smith ester ay. "Tbj people in these two citie are not willinc that this work should be halted summarily Just because aenate filibuster resulted in delaying action on the employment bureau ap propriation. w a expect public sent! merit will crystallise in other commu nities to surh an extent that other cities will follow the splendid exam Pie." A government order issued late last week commanded the Oregon bureau to rut its force in half. This will mean lb at the Portland office must be re duced to a mere skeleton of It work ers, while under ordinary conditions It would likewise mean a shutting down of the 11 branch offices about the state. Mr. Smith announced that the sailors' and soldiers employment bureau Liberty temple will be maintained as us-aal. as this has become one of the most important branches of the federal employment bureau work. ." Otaer Cities Expected to Follow. "Tf other citlea follow the lead of Astoria and Eugene, branch offices will be maintained temporarily to take care of the employment of soldiers and sail ors. The civilian labor department in these branch bureaus will be elimi nated. -We are not going to ask for assist ance for the Lnited Mates employment bureau, but we are going to ask these communities to keep the bureaus open under authority of the municipalities or some of the various war organiza tions." said Mr. Smith. "This placing of our returned sol diers and sailors is too important to be stopped In this manner, and we will anneal to the cities to keep their or fiues open at all hasards. We will loan them our office furniture, our type writers or anything else they want, and give them all the credit for carry ing on the work if they will only do this work." - , apeclal Sesaloa Ileped For. Mr. Smith and other officials of the United States employment service in Oregon are hopeful that a special ses sioa of congress early this summer will appropriate sufficient funds to restore the federal employment bureau to its normal status. Mr. Smith saya the work of the bureau has assumed such large proportions in finding employ ment for returned soldiars and sailors that it is practically imperative that the branch bureaus be maintained. J. M. Waggener. superintendent of the branch office at Astoria, was in Portland yesterday conferring with Di rector Smith with reference to the Astoria office. "Every industry and every organiza tion In Clatsop county has promised to co-operate In keeping our bureau open indefinitely.- said Mr. Waggener. "The people have seen the results of our work in placing soldiers and sailors in employment, and they are not willing that our branch office be closed simply because federal funds are larking. So far as I am personally concerned. I will uladlv donate my services if it becomes necessary." Spirt ef Help Is Ceaerak Mr. Smith said that other employes of the bureau had shown the same spirit as Mr. Waggener. several of them having refused more remunerative po sitions In order to remain at a work where they knew they were doing something for the soldiers and sailors. "One of my men was offered a posi tion at a 50 per cent advance in salary.' ie said. "But he told me he could not take It because he would not desert the oldiers and sailors at a time when the employment bureau faced such a serious condition. He declared he would stay by me and sink with the ship. This Is the sort of spirit which has made the employni nt bureau in this state an institution which has been of real service to the men in uniform."
