X Ogden Armour Is New Addition
to Ranks to Provide Places for
Workers Past 45; Fifty Posi
' tions Open Each Day.
CHICAGO. Dec. 16. (Special.) More
Chicago business men have Joined the
campaign to give work to elderly men
through the committee of unemploy
ment The committee was augmented by
the following new members today: J.
Ogden Armour, of Armour & Co.; Hale
Holden, president of the Burlington
Railway; Frederick Upham, president
of the Consumers' Company; Thomas
1J. Wilson, of the Wilson Packing Com
pany; Edmund D. Hulburt, banker, and
Adam Ortzeifer.
1850 Auk for Work.
Letters were received from a number
of firms who have joined the list of
concerns desiring to give positions to
men between 45 and 65 years of age.
The list of unemployed now on file
with the committee has reached 1850
applicants.
Ten "old men," who were put to the
test by a Chicago mail-ordeV house, to
eee whether they could do the work re
quired, have met the requirements
after 10 days and were declared by
President S. H. Rosenthal to be perma
ent employes. They are between the
ages of 45 and 65. Today 10 more were
tried out in the packing department.
The employment committee an
nounced that employment had been
g-iven 250 men. Jobs are being opened
at the rate of 50 a day and the indica
tions are that the number will increase
as the campaign of education among
employers progresses.
Applicants Advertise Others.
One of the methods adopted in addi
tion to billboard and other advertising
mediums will be to send an applicant
to an employer who has asked for men
and state in the credentials he carries
that the bearer is typical of the kind
of men the committee is sending .out
and if he is found useful others like
him can be furnished.
"Give me a job, anything," pleaded Z.
Bailey at the headquarters of the com
mittee today. "I'm 60 years old. If I
get a position it means a reconciliation
for me with my wife and daughter."
Bailey got a position as a janitor in
the Flat Iron building.
