FAVORITISM - IS CHARGED
Laborer Complain of Methods Used
In City Free Employment Bnrean.
Complaint made by a delegation of
laborers headed by William Ooldlng, of
117 Couch street, that favoritism In
furnishing employment Is being shown
by the clerks In charge of the city
free employment bureau resulted In
Mayor Rushlight announcing that he
will Investigate.
Goldlng. acting as spokesman for the
delegation, declared to the Mayor that
J. P. Schroeder. clerk of the employ
ment bureau, has reserved Jobs for peo.
pie of a certain class. He declared his
Inability to ascertain the class of peo
ple favored, but believed It waa thoae
whom Schroeder knew personally or
I who were recommended to him by
! friends.
! "I have been In line at the office at
I o'clock every morning for months."
' said Goldlng. "and I have received no
work. Others who come there after
I have been standing In line for a long
time ' have received employment. The
same applies to many others, a few of
whom are In this delegation."
Mr. Schroeder. clerk of the employ
ment bureau, declared yesterday that
there Is absolutely no favoritism shown
at the bureau. He said: "We have a
system of giving work to men In reg
ular order and It Is the only wsy the
business can be bandied. Ooldlng Is
the organiser of the I. W. W.s of
Portland and I have had trouble with
him at thla office, as I have had with
others of his class. For Instance. I
sent him out one day to put up a stove
for a woman on the East Side. It took
him but a short time and he tried tn
charge her 13.50 and quarreled with
her because she refused to pay It. He
baa been given other Jobs and has never
mad good on them. Such men hurt
the bureau. Goldlng Is mad because I
refused a few days ago to lend htm
money and that was the occasion for
the complslnt to the Mayor."

The lot of 10.000 post cards printed
a short time ago has nearly all been
sold. The sale of, these cards pleases
the Red Cross committee and will

stamps has been requested.
The general committee has received
a number of communications from busi
