Nebraska STATE HELPS FIND JOBS FOR GUARDS Employment for Men Now at Border Must Soon Be Found. , LABOR BUREAU TO AID (Prom a Blaff CHrrrspundpnt ) ; Lincoln. Dec. 15. (Special.) Em ployment for members of the Ne braska National Guard now on the j border is a problem to be met by tlic people of the state soon. Speaking of j the matter today, Labor Conmiis-' sioner Frank f. Coffey said: 1 "Adjutant General Hall is engaged in a most laudable effort to find em ployment for the members of the Nc- hratlra Vational Cnarrl. who are soon to return from the border. General Hall is seeking the co-operation of commercial clubs, business men, con tractors, merchants and farmers in ' arranging for employment tor these men. The free employment feature of the atate department of labor might be put to good use in this instance. Employers of Nebraska who are in need of an employe may list their wants in the department, and the de partment will in turn undertake to place the employer in communication with some one in need of employment. The members of the National Guard gave up their employment in answer to a call to meet conditions not of their own making, but their sacrifice was made for the general good."
