MEN DENVER, Colo., Dec. 31.—Colorado, thru state action, has met the soldiers’ unemployment problem. The state committee for relief of ex-service men and/ women, appointed by Governor Oliver H. Shoup, has just made its report. It shows 1,027 ex-service men placed at \.ork thru its two weeks’ job-finding campaign, which num- ber is expected to be materially increased when exact figures are submitted by counties which reported in general terms. Up to the time the sate committee was appointed by, | the governor, the usual efforts had been made to solve the! soldiers’ unemployment problem. . Various bureaus and war service societies were making independent effort: In Den- ver the city a priated funds to aid in the work of the A large number of men, iy ah still ut of em. plement Placements by the federal demobilization bureaus were steadily decreasing. It was then that state {action was determined upon. Governor Appoints State-wide Committee The committee appointed by Governor Shoup consisted of nine members, eight of whom were returned soldiers. The other was Karl C. Schuyler, prominent Deriver attorney. | As representative of the public and civilian organizations, | he served as chairman. Expenses were met by contributions | lof public spirited citizens, there being no, state funds which | | could be used for the purpose. | |. Members of the committee were chosen from all parts of | the state, so that every district would be represented. | All counties, cities and towns were organized to conduct |the campaign. At the request af. the governor, boards of , county commissioners appointed ci Hzens to act in their coun- j ties. Mayors appointed committees. In Denver the cam- paign committee numbered 70 citizens. | | Co-operation was also given by employers ; employment | | agencies; war service societies; civic and commercial bodies ; | farmers and labor organizations; the American Legion, and | | other patriotic bodies. Blanks were sent out to be distributed to employers and | unemployed ex-serice men. Unemployed soldiers turned in their applications for jobs to the campaign representa- tives in their districts. Employers listed unfilled jobs. | By proclamation Governor Shoup designated December 4 \as “Soldiers’ Employment Day.” By this date the work of discovering, jobs and unemployed was to be completed, and 'the work of state-wide adjustment begun. So far as was possible, local adjustments were made. Efforts were made to find jobs for soldiers at home. But several districts had more unemployed than jobs, and many |counties reported more jobs than unemployed. This mat- |ter of state-wide adjustment was handled by the state ‘mar Establish Clearing SEATTLE, WASH., |House Adjustment After each mayor and his representatives had completed local adjustments of jobs and men, surplus jobs or unem- | ployed were reported to the boards of county commissioners, who acted as clearing houses for each county.
