TO LOOK AFTER DISCHARGED MEN
COMMITTEE APPOINTED IN THIS VILLAGE BY U. S. DEPT
OF LABOR
B. F. Williams of Madison,
superintendent of the United States Free Employment and Information Bureau, with
headquarters at Fond du Lac for the Sixth Congressional district, was in the village
Monday morning and appointed a committee consisting of T. N. Curran, J. H. Kleinhans, P.
M. Schlaefer, F. M. Martin and W. J. Sullivan to assist with the work in this vicinity.
The committee met at the postoffice Monday noon and elected T. N. Curran chairman and W.
J. Sullivan secretary.
The object of the United States Employment Bureau is to find employment and
look after the general welfare of the returning soldiers and sailors. Headquarters have
been opened on the first floor of the Lange block, corner First and Macy street in Fond du
Lac, were the reports of soldiers and sailors about to be discharged from service are
received. Those in this district are looked up by the committee and assisted in finding
employment, besides being made to feel at home where they can find writing material, etc.,
and be given all necessary information about former friends or persons they wish to look
up.
For the village of Campbellsport district headquarters have been established
at the postoffice, where all returning soldiers and sailors are invited to call and
receive what information they wish. If they are in search of employment, a job will be
procured for them. In case there are no jobs available in this vicinity the name and
address of the soldier will be reported to the Fond du Lac headquarters where employment
will be found at once for the applicant.
Farmers or others, who are in need of help would confer a favor by notifying
one of the above committee. |
