Jones, who Teld the position for 10 years. is closed | as far as the department is concerned, | officials announced today. n R, Alpine, supervising director Mr. Jones, | of the service, who succeeded late yesterday answered charges o( in- efficiency made against the service by the retirif officer. He said Mr. Jones is “creditl with statements as unfair and unrejsonable as it ls ible for statementS to be’ and “they are just another evidence of the man's in- competency.” Mr. Jones resigned Monday at the demand of Secretary Doak of Labor, who explained it “was for the good of the service.” ‘The supervising director declared his private office had placed hundreds of | Jobless men ln the course of the day's affairs, and “the employment service has done more since April 1, lhnn M Jones dld in 10 years, and that c: proved.” Mr. Jones in his letl!r of Tesignation to Mr. Doak said he was m(gmng because, since the reorganiza- on of the service on March 15, it had become “unsatisfactory nnd bitterly dis- appointing” to him. The former director general’s charges, said Mr. Alpine, ‘“show clearly he doesn’t know what has been going on and isn't capable of accomplishment. | Naturally, I suppose he is hurt because he has been left out of the enlarge- ' ment of the service. Mr. Alpine made public a telegram from John Arthur Shaw, head of the veterans’ division of the organization. | which said that division had bettered | its service to veterans more since March 15 than in the previous 10 years. I Mr. Shaw sent the telegram from | Kansas City, where he is attending the | annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Mr. Jones had charged that Secretary Doak attempted to break down the veterans’ ser\}ce so as to do more for “trainmen and I Mr. Shaw said the facl, tha! four gervice organizations have entered into co-operative arrangements with the employment bureau was evidence that | the veterans appreciated the service.
