Employers visit etnpl oyment agencies to find no names listed; they make all sorts of concessions to interest prospective employes, but are snubbed by them. It's not a general shortage, of course. It exists only In domestic service. One would think that there would be plenty of maids, cooks and housekeepers available with so many i thousands unemployed and on relief. But that last word relief is apparently the reason for the short age.

"Why should I work for five or six dollars a week when I can get almost that much on relief without working?" is the usual answer to the employer's prayer. Here is an actual case A housewife wanted a maid for her small home. There were only three persons in the family, no laundry, and only one real meal a day as the husband did not get home to lunch. Five dollars a i week, plus room and board, were offered. The housewife called several girls whose names were given to her by friends who employed them in past years.

All were on relief, and all refused to accept a job on any terms. Saturday afternoons and Sundays off did not tempt them. The housewife called a number of agencies that might be expected to know of persons who would want work. The Improvement of the Under this scheme the needs of Poor, Salvation Army, Goodwill In the family are calculated, but where dustries and Catholic Charities said members of the family are em-there was no use even taking her ployed, their earnings are subtracted name.

"It is recommended that the public as a whole be solicited to acquaint the proper authorities with opportunities for work which are available and unaccepted, and that if these opportunities are found to be suitable, and when they are called to the attention of qualified persons on relief rolls who refuse to accept them, such persons be immediately stricken from the rolls of those eligible for relief. "There is much to the Scriptural injunction: 'If any man will not work, neither shall he eat. "The testimony of the county relief administrator is that such instances are so rare as to be neg ligible.

The feeling of a large part of the general public is that they are rather common. "The question is one which should be settled, and which can only be settled by some correlation between local employment offices and local Genuine Weatherall HOUSE OR OUTSIDE PAINT SI. 15 Gallon Thousands of satisfied nsers. ive popular colors White.

Now a small salary finds few takers. The special committee from the State Legislature which investigated relief conditions in Allegheny County and made its report yesterday to the House of Representatives devoted considerable attention to this problem. "In these times of unemployment, it should normally be 'easy to obtain capable domestic servants willing to work for reasonable wages," said the committee's report. "On the contrary, it is extremely difficult. "The answer seems to lie in the operation of 'budget family needs for subsistence.

"When domestic employment is available, as it is in many -in- stances, the answer tends to be: i 'Why should I work? The amount of my earnings would merely be deducted from what my family gets on "The answer is quite logical from the point of view of the individual, but is disastrous from the point of view of the potential employer, who is forced to pay taxes to support the person who should be working, and refuses to work, for the reason that it is easier to accept the same income in the form of 'relief from tax sources, without the work. "Perhaps the problem is more generally perceived with reference to domestic employment, which is Pittsburgh's Oldest r4 UJ G30 GEE? a relief divisions, which would maka possible the test. "In the interests both of the taxpayers and the legitimate recipients of relief, the possibility of the development of such a class of professional relief recipients should be eliminated.

IE JL Hurls Challenge At Conference of Teachers By S. II. STEINHAUSER There isn't a single objectionable children's program on the National Broadcasting airwaves, if you want to accept the word of Miss Judith Waller, educational director for the network. As NBC's representative at the conference of the Committee on Radio in Education Miss Waller challenged the educators to name a ringle objectionable program. She offered to prove that every broadcast designed to entertain juvenile isteners was backed up by historical Tact.

No one accepted her challenge but -ne male educator lost his temper ong enough to tell the lady "I'm getting damn tired of what my children listen to." And Miss Waller told him, that being a teacher, he rught begin at home by training his hildren to realize what is good or ad for them. And that settled lings at least as far as trying to the better of a woman in an rgument was concerned. Which is a round about way cf Predicting that NBC will leave its hildren's programs alone while Columbia employs a psychologist -nd a board of advisors to choose programs for the children's ears. Yesterday's Press detailed how the Columbia chain decided to fix definite limits for commercial blurbs. TBC will leave this to "good taste" of the program directors.

NBC looks at programs advertising ures for bodily ills as undesirable nee contracts expire or stars go on vacation, for a vacation is con-: an automatic lapse and can- ellation of contract. Otherwise such programs may continue but no new ones will be added. NBC issued this order seven nonths ago and has since been try-ng to rid itself of programs considered "not in good taste." To get back to Miss Waller for a moment. She was manager of '7MAQ in Chicago when Amos 'n' ndy were Sam 'n' Henry and actu-: gave the boys their start as big Imers and network stars.
