City's Employment Bureau.
Superintendent Sears
Discusses the First
Year's Work of the
Municipal Job Bureau
ALONG ISLAND village wants
a (lop catcher. This may not
bo Important when compared
trith questions of International re
lations, th situation In Mexico, the
woman suffrage campaign and other
matters of that kind, hut to people of
the vlltige It Is of consequence, and
fo the authorities wrote to the. New
York City Public Employment Bureau,
Lafayette and Leonard streets, about it.
They were very frank In stating
their needs. They did not hold out
any visions of an eldorado" where a
dog catcher could amass a fortune
In t abort Urn. They did not hint
that here was ft Ret rich quick ofTer.
They merely said that they wanted a
tog catcher and they could not rind
inc. They added that he would be
raid at the rate of $1 per head for
each and every dog captured and
Irought to the pound.
"A steady and experienced dog
tatchcr," concluded the authorities.
Van make $10 a week If he works
liard that K he can make this much
tnoney the dm week. After that his
arnlngs will drop materially, for there
ire on'.y about forty or fifty dogs run
Kins looi-e that ought to be impounded.
This communication was received
by Walter L. Sears, superintendent
f the New York Public Kmploycment
Bareau, and search was made of rec
ords of applicants for work. Thou
fands of applications were found from
men who wanted to do almost any
thing, and other registrations by
women Monographers and clerks, but
in all the requests for work there was
r.ot a Mngle one from a professional
dos catcher, for which reason Mr.
fears forwarded the letter to the Ani
mal Rescue League.
This Is an incident showing the wide
variety of work being carried on by
the Public Employment Bureau, which
pot actively running In the latter part
of last November. Since that time It
has received 'JS.OOO registrations of
men and women applying for work,
r.d out of this number It has found
Jobs for 2,'JfiG of them, In addition to
a larse variety of temporary Jobs, such
? shovel. ing snow and other work of
that character. The experimental stage
of the first public employment bureau
ever organized by New York city is
believed to have passed, and thkse
conducting It think that its usefulness
lll be even greater in the future
than during the six or seven months
Jim ending.
When general business conditions
became quieter and quieter early in
1914 and many thousands were thrown
out of work In New York the mu
nMpallty opened a temporary bureau,
with two clerks from the office of the
Commissioner of Accounts and a third
man from the Department of Chari
ties, As a result of the unexpected
demands on the office a committee
as appointed to see what could be
done on a larger and more permanent
basis
T' is committee consisted of City
Chamberlain Bruere. Dr. Henry Mos
kowitz, president of the civil service
d.viswn. John A, Kingsbury of the
Ipartnient of Charities, Commis
sioner John T. Ketherston of the
Strec f'leanlng Department, Corpora
tion Counsel Polk, Commissioner of
LlrerMf (ieorge II. Hell nnd Dr. John
t. Andrews of tho American Assocla
t on f ,r Labor Legislation. Largely
ul'n Die recommendations of the
comm.'iee the Hoard of Aldermen In
Ha 1 it 1 1 , passed an ordinance pro
tons for the establishment of the
present oureau,
it in head of It was placed Wnltcr
I' Keirs or Huston, who hart had ex
pen, m i. in organizing employment
I'Urt.iiH f, r nine cities In Massa-Chu.-tiH
ithoilo island nnd the prov
ince of Quebec, Cumuli. In review
lr.t iiin work of the first season of
the i.,ireau so that readers of Tim
Ku.vuat Hi n might have definite
'ii v. icrige as to what It has nceom
!'!i'"l Mr Hears remarked venter
da "at be was somewhit surprised
Jfl what happened nn tho very first
'lie office wus opew'J.
. "When I cot down here to the build-
Walter L. Sears, superintendent.
ling at S o'clock that morning," he
said, "I found it line of men extending
from our front door down t.O' nurd
street to Centre, nrouml the corner of
Centre street to I'ranklln, down the
entire block of Kranklln street nnt!
hick on the I.afnyctle street side.
There were all sorts nnd conditions
of men and boys, but, very few down
und outers among them. Krom S
o'clock In the morning until 4 o'clock
at night this line continued, For six
or seven days there was no let up
one could not seo tho end of this
line nnd on one of these days rain
fell In torrents.
"Owing to the fact that the estab
lishment of tho Public Employment
Bureau was something new in the
history of New York, wo had a great
many, visitors during the first few
weeks, and they remarked on the ap
Itearancc of the men. Most of them
were well dressed and ranged In years
from boys of 12 and 14 up to men
of 60 or 70.
"I found that these applicants, In
the majority of cases temporarily out
of work, were anxious to accept any
reasonable opportunity for earning a
livelihood. Among them were a few
day laborers, but a large number of
college graduates stood In line, ns well
as men who had been In business for
years, and others who had held con
fidential positions and now werr
thrown out of work because of the
very unfortunate commercial situa
tion all over the Cnlted States.
"This otllce was opened at an Inop
portune time, so far as obtaining em
ployment was concern?d, because em
ployers were not hiring any one In
those days, and an employer who had
a Job open found little difficulty In
getting any number of peoplo who
wanted to fill It.
"Another thing which went against
us at tho outstart and which wo are
doing our very best to overcome has
been a very general feeling on tho
part of employers, who seem sceptical
as to the ability of this bureau to
render efficient service.
"The dltll-'ulty, of course, was that
New York has not been accustomed to
have a public employment bureau of
its own, and New York business men
In the vast majority of cases have
not the least Idea how business men
of other cities nvall themselves of cor
rcs'Hinding bureaus. Little by little
this scepticism on the port of the
employers Is being dissipated, as iiwv
be understood from tlis fact that
nt tho present time we nre receiving
applications from a considerable num
ler of largo business concerns when
ever they need help such ns we can
furnish,
"For Instance, this morning In re
sponse to an application from the
L'nlted States Rubber Company we
sent fourteen men to Naiigatiick,
Conn, We also nro furnishing em
ployees for the Ford Motor Company
ut Its Long Island City plant, the As
torlu Light aid Power Company, the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, the
American Canning Company, the
American District Telegraph Com
pany, and we hnvo furnished tho New
York Life Insurance Company with a
limited number of persons to do un
skilled work,
"To Indicate that our activities are
becoming known beyond the confined
of New York, we received In this
morning's mail an application from a
large luiliihtrltil plant situated outside
the State of New York, the munugcr
of which asked ua to find a competent
foreman for one of his mechanical de
partments and to forward, the man nt
once, the salary offered being $10 per
week, Here It Is almost midsummer,
when one would suppose that there
would be little demand for such labor,
nnd yet this very day we are trying to
find competent men to 111! positions
which are open and waiting for them,
as follows: Klectriclans, diy laborers,
brass polishers, cooks,, bakers, chefs.
Ironworkers, olllce boys, auto body
builders nnd sheet and metal workers,"
"Do you find that at this time therp
are many women nnd young clrls who
are anxious to obtain work?"
"Indeed there nre," Mr. Sears re
sponded emphatically. "In the sepa
rate rooms set apart for women mak
ing application for employment you
will find young women and girls who
nre anxious for work as stenographers,
typewriters and clerks. I surmise that
a very large number of them are but
partly skilled, nnd I want to say right
now that so far ns I can ascertain
there Is an army of such young women
in New York city to-day who cannot
retain work even when they get a
trial.
"To me It Is n serious thing, and one
that should be remedied. On the other
hand, there Is appirently a limitless
demand for women who can do house
work well, nnd also for women of suffi
cient Intelligence and skill to hold
down Jobs In factories.
"For example, hero is a list of Just
a few opportunities that we have on
hand to-day and which we are trying
to fill: At Providence, It. L, are
wanted fifty girls over IK yearn of age
to manufacture tennis nnd yachting
shoes; n manufacturer at Rochester,
N. Y wants fifty girls who are ex
perienced in making small, fine paper
boxes. At Bristol, R. I., 200 women In
a rubb r factory, at, wages from IS
to $1 1 per week.
"In each of these three Instances you
will notice of course that tho demand
Is for factory workers of experience
who are trained In n special line. The
unti allied woman who is willing to do
almost anything has the hardest time
of any person desiring employment."
"What about this universal and un
ceasing demand for houseworkers?"
Mr. Sears was asked.
He smiled as he replied, "The de
urind Is here, nil right, and it is every
where throughout the country, so fur
ns I can nscerlaln. The trouble Is on
both sides- that of tho mistress and
that of tho maidservant or ccok,
"The average person would be sur
prised probably to find out how few of
these women seeking employment nro
really competent to work as cooks,
laundressert and nurse maids. The
well trained liouseworker Is a very
hard thing to find, and she Is nlmoat
never out of cinploym-nt.
"Now- that Is one side of the domestic
service question, but there is another
that Is Just ns Important. I want to
say nfter having spent n dozen years
In studying a,nd actively working in
'bis special lini! of cmp!'., :m.; ?c
v.i'p that what Is termed the ser
vant problem will never be settled
until tho housekepers themselves
cliangn their present methods and
make housework in all Its brunches as
Inviting as office or factory work Is
to responsible. Intelligent and com
petent young women.
"It Is my firm belief that the. whole
quesllon of domestic service is up to
the housekeeper absolutely, When
American housekeepc'H take the
trouble, to run their tinmen with us
much efficiency and binoothncss as
Applicants forwork registering.
Demand for Domestic
Servants Is Greatest
and the Problem of
. Filling It the Hardest
their husbands show In running their
businesses then they will seo to It that
the houseworker Is given conditions
under which she can work without
losing her health or self-respect and
without being a human drudge from
one end of the year to the other.
"This servant problem has nothing
to do with wages, and wages have
nothing to do with it. The woman
who does general housework and re
ceives from J1S to $25 a month In
money also receives free of charge
her table board and lodging, fuel nnd
light, and In most cases gets Utile
presents from time to time, such aa
clothing and other things. Krom a
financial standpoint such an employee
Is far better off than her sister who
Is working In an office, or department
store or factory nnd earning from
130 to $00 a month, out of which she
has to pay for all of her living ex
penses. You may sny that this whole
thing Is up to the housekeeper."
Mr. Sears Is an unqualified advocate
of vocational training. He finds that
the New York City Public Kmploy
ment Bureau Is tremendously handi
capped because such a large propor
tion of the men who apply there for
work have had no special training In
any direction.
"Of all the men who come In here
looking for Jobs at least 60 per cent.,
after filling out jur register blanks,
say they want work at almost any
thing. 'What can you do?' I ask such
a man. 'Oh, I can do anything.' he
says. 'Got a trade?' I Inquire. 'Well,
not exactly a trade, Mr. Sears, but I
nm pretty handy nt anything you can
get me to do.' 'Can you milk a cow?
(.'an you run a locomotive?' 'Well
no,' this nverage applicant replies, 'I
can't milk a cow or run a loconAtlve,
but I could take a Job as a night
watchman, or timekeeper, or Janitor,
and I could work ns a collector, or ns
a clerk.'
"In the mnjorlty of -cases I have to
tell such a man the truth that we
have no such work open at tho time:
but I always suggest that If he Is in
this part of the city the next day
he might drop In, ns It Is possible that
we will tie aide to place him. Very
few such men come back a second
time."
One of the difficulties Mr. Sears has
found lies in the fact that New York
ers seem to regard It In the light of a
charitable institution, ns n kind of
uplift agency, started In the behalf of
poverty stricken men and women who
are In desperate circumstances and
who could not hold good Jobs even if
they had them.
"To ono who Is accustomed to see
the way In which corresponding em
ployment bureaus are regarded In
other cities where they long have been
established," Mr. Sears remarked in
Vpeaklng of this phase of the work,
"there Is something almost amusing In
this attitude.
"Frequently a visitor will say to me,
'1 don't suppose you have men here
looking for work who nro really re
sponsible and who posess downright
ability?' And these visitors are sur
prised when I mention different In
stances, such ns that of n genetlem.tn
who formerly occupied for years a
public olllce so high that his name
was known internationally. Owing to
swift political changes this gentleman
nt an age past .10 suddenly found him-i-elf
out of employment, nnd simply
because he was past young manhood
and because of the long time he had
spent In diplomatic work he was un
able to get a business position any
where. "Tho gentleman I hnve mentioned
came hero as n matter of cnure,
simply because lie knew wlint public
employment bureaus were accomplish
Ing In other great cities of the world.
"Sooner or later the Now Yorker
will regard this Public Kmployment
Huron u as he regards other public In
stitutions. ' ,
"The New Yorker docs not hesitate
to use public libraries or city hospitals;
he docs not hesitate to avail himself of
the recreation" afforded by public
parks, to nttend freo public lectures,
to listen to free public concerts; and
there Is no reason why ho could not
Just as well nuke use of the facilities
offered by the Public Umploymcnt Bu
reau, for which lie pays taxes nnd In
which he should huve a- very vital In
tcrcat," ?
