Deputy Labor Commissioner
Norman Takes Up Farm Help
Proposition and Works
on the Solution.
Farmers throughout the " state sre
crged to avail themselves of the op
portunities to get help through the
state labor department at Lincoln and
the co-operative public employment
office at Omaha, both of which will
do everything possible to furnish help
where needed, says George E. Nor
man, deputy labor commissioner. Mr.
Norman adds: , .
"We do not wish to " give. the;, im
pression that there is any Jgreat sur
plus of farm help, for such js not the
case, vet at this time this office, has
on file 15 to 20 married men who are
seeking an Opportunity to secure
olaces on farms. -Many are being
placed every day, but there are still
that manyin waiting. .
"Not considered serious. , ;.
"A survey of farm labor conditions ,
did not indicate any serious shortage

by the argricultural department t e
cently. - : - r '
"A similar condition existed last
fall in regard to corn husking. Every
thing seemed to indicate that not
enough help could oe secured to
gather the crop. It was planned to
dismiss the schools and colleges to
enaMe the students an opportunity to
help harvest the crop. Ihis depart
ment by making inquiries and adver
tising in other states .wnere the crop
was short, was able to bring in an
ample supply of experienced help to
gather the crop, and could have , had
a great deal more if it had been neces
sary. :.. '
"It has been definitely decided by
those who have made a study of the
situation and are, in position to know,
that tthe shortage of labor in some
localities is caused more from the lack
of a proper means of distribution of
labor, than from an actual shortage of
help. The state and national labor
departments have recognized this fact
and are working; right together to
provide an efficient means of dis
tribution of labor". ; ' ,:

Prom time to time you have published excellent i

Heaven's sake vand for the peace of mind of telephone .
users, won't you carry your campaign one "step further;
and see if you cant put a stop to the extremely bad ;
practice, and the rank discourtesy, of. the "waU-a-' ;
minute" ' pest? " f v (:p:'';;:';,V.,".
i: - aV This is what I mean: 'Mr. Adams want s. to talk;
to Mr. Brown. Instead of telephoning him, he tells
his office girl to get Mr. Brown oh the 'phone.; The : ;
girl calls ; Mr e Brown. , He responds, and instead ofi ? f
finding someone, on the other end of the line ready to
talk and be done with it, he has the exquisitejoy .r
of hearing Mr. Adams (off ice girl' say,; .Mr4; Brown? . :
. Wait' a minute, please." . :r-. A ';. r'-..-":
Then Mr. Broro, '.'.he.liaai" ,tlifi:pai,l.etiw ' an:";'

Mr, -Adams finishes dictating the le'tter "he is working";
oni" or finishes a hurried, conversation with Titl:hf
Collins, or accompanies MrEvans "to the'door, -or. :
signs a few checks, or walks through two for three.,'. ;
rooms to reach his private telephone; ;AndTfinally,
in his own good time ,' Mr. Adams Condescends to speak ;
to the servile and sufficiently irritated and .
humiliated' Mr. Brown.; '. ;-y .
:; Every - business and professional man has this
1 experi enc e many time s a day. And ; then we talk ab out
the efficiency of business men ! Such; indirect ion,' ;
, such waste ot time and energy, and the very opposite
of efficiency. But the discourtesy, the crude.. V:
' impoliteness of ; it ; is the ' ..most galling . "; - ;
VJ"':!Ixcept where emergency prevents Adams from : '
calling Brown directly, .the practice rcan be due to
nothing but egotism and selfishness on the part . ofr
Adams. Why should Adams assume that brown can wait
on Adams good pleasure? Does' Adams have any reason
to believe that two minutes of Brown's time are
worth less than two minutes of his own? Has Adams '
', any ground for thinking that Brown will recognize the
vastly greater importance of Adams and his time,' or '
that Brown will, without chafing or, resentment, wait i
patiently to hear "His .master's voice?" ; '
The trouble is that we all have a lot of s
exaggerated ego in our make-up. We think we're too
busy to call a telephone number and wait for the
' response, but the man we are calling,; although he may
in fact be much bigger and busier than, we, and his
time much more valuable than ours, can well afford. to
1 be summoned like a servant and made to wait upon bur ;
convenience. ' . . :.-:
Vs ; After all, it's probably thoughtlessness
rather than intentional rudeness, because everybody
does it, but everybody has a mighty bad habit, and it '
. ought to be broken. 'f;; -;.;: . - '. , ";
