Ban Franolaco, Loa Angelea, Seattle, Portland, Chicago Detroit, New York The Weatker ENTITLED TO RESPECT AM) SYMPATHY George Allen, coniniinnioner for the District of Columbia, wanted to find out how the nation's jobless men were get ting on, so he put on his old clothes, let his beard grow, and went out to stand in the breadlines of such cities ns Chicago, Detroit, Toledo and Milwaukee. He came back to Washing ton the other day and expressed himself in a report that! should most certainly have the immediate attention or the highest administration forces in charge of federal relief. ' "The snootiest people 'on God's green earth are running . the employment agencies," he said in part. "You ask them for a job and they feel they're doing you a favor to take your application. Most of the offices close at noon. Why don't they keep open all day and fight for the unemployed, trying tlieir damndest to get them jobs : This whole problem, of unemployment relief is a new one, and it was inevitable that we should make mistakes in our first handling of it. It is hard to see however, how such a great mistake could be made as to have relief agents adopt me auiumu louno uy ivir. Anew toward the people they are supposed lo help. 'PL,. .'..1,1 :.. j: . , , i . iiiu juijiuhh iimu is (iiscouiagea, and no wonaer. it is a time when he needs friendly sympathy and understanding juki, aooui, as mucn as ne needs a job. it the agents of his own government don't give him that sympathy and under- suimiing ii, insieao, iney uiko pains to show that they feel him to bo a ragged and undeserving bum thev are ImilrL lug up for all of us a misunderstanding and a resentment mat may some day prove pretty costly. H was this attitude ol the Bourbons in the tune of Marie Antoinette toward the masses of France that led to the time when the 'musses eventually rose and cut their soverigns heads off. Mr. Allen's report should have such attention ol the administration that will remove at once the horde of politically fed asses who are at present wrongfully in charge, of the handling of the federal relief. Placing thorn in the, bread line themselves would be only mild punishment for such heartless misdeeds as reported by the commissioner.
