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. iuiiiuimuiiiijiiimuiniiiiiuimiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiium i Pi WILL CONTEST SETTLED 11 EDWARD M'LEAN TO RECEIVE 11700,000, OR MORE, YEARLY.
