"I have named It the 'easy Job bill" said Mr. Mason. "The problem i Of unemployment Is serious but this , bill does not propose the best way of solving It. We do not want the hordes Of the unemployed coming here from ether states as they would come ir Were known the state had a nice job waiting for each of them.
