Gmphfmtnt Bureau
"Yes, an employment bureau Is almost
a necessity at the present time," said
the lady manager of the only employ
meat bureau In Lincoln, to a Courier
representative the other day. "There
are hundreds of women who have no
time to go;eut and hunt up help. They
can not leave their household duties, so
the employment bureau is an advantage.
All one has to do is to come to this
oraee. register. 1. e., leave their name
and address, give the number In the
family, and a rough estimate of the work
that will be required, pay fifty cents,
which, by the way, is good for thirty
days, and we supply them with the help.
We do an Immense business, and supply
the best people In town. We advertise
extensively and have a great many calls
from people living outside of Lincoln.
We supply most of the hotels and res
taurants in the city, and a few outside.
We not only secure help for people, but
help people to secure positions. A girl
desiring employment can register in the
same way, and state what kind of work
fee prefers.

"You have.no Idea how many people
ask our assistance. We have people of
every nationality, and every color. Girls
from other towns, who desire work in
Lincoln, and who do not like to make
the trip and run the risk of not getting
a position, write to us, and we And them
work. This Is one of the good features
of an employment bureau they are sure
of work before they start.
"There is a great demand Just at pres
ent for girls who will do housework;
they are very scarce, and girls who here
tofore received three dollars a week are
now earning five and six dollars for
practically the same work. A great
many ladles here In the city simply
phone to me when they need help, and
I supply them as soon as possible. They
are most always satisfied. A few even
go so far as to come in person and
thank me, which Is certainly gratifying.
"There is a strong tendency for irls
who have always done housework to as
pire to other positions, such as office
work, or clerking, and a few do leave
housework to take up other lines of
work.
"Once In a while a girl will start to
work at a house and become dissatisfied,
but for the most part they hardly ever
come back, because they know In the
beginning what will be required of
them."
"Do many men register?"
"Oh. yes," was the answer. "Nearly
as many as the ladies, although some
times men come In to register for their
wives. Some of them want help, and
some of them want work to do. It Is
very amusing sometimes the way men
have to stop and think. When they are
.asked how many children they have,
they invariably have to stop to count
them.
"Very often we will ask a woman who
wishes to advertise for a girl, how many
children there are in the family. They
usually say four, and add 'the baby.'
They do not stop to think that a baby
can make a lot of extra work.
"We will be busier in three or four
weeks than we are at present The
Russian girls will be coming home from
the beet fields, and will all want places
to work.
"People come at all hours of the day,
so we must keep open till six in the
evening. We try to be accommodating
and to please applicants to the best of
our ability, and I think we do In a
measure." And the writer agreed with
her and was more convinced than ever
that an employment bureau is a good,
thing.
