employment service. I went over it carefully. I thought, after discussing the matter with the Secretary of Labor and getting his advice upon it, that $100,000 would be sufficient to establish this for quite a while, and if we need more later on then it will be sufficient time to call upon you. But we will utilize this $100,000 and find that we can do a very good job for the ex-service men. We propose not to rent new offices where we can make use of the regional offices of the Veterans' Bureau.

I have gone over the list of cities with General Hines where they have offices, and where we will establish offices in the strategic points, and we have come to a very good understanding in regard to that. We will work together in utilizing everything they have, their telephone, electric light, and so forth, to reduce expenses, and we believe we can do a very creditable job with $100,000. Of the balance, $55,000 is for the extension of the farm work which I have enumerated, and the remainder is for administration. That covers the entire amount of the increase asked for.

VALUE OF SERVICE RENDERED

Mr. OLIVER. You have told us about having so much correspondence relative to the service rendered. Of course, we could not ask that you insert the correspondence in the record since it would be too voluminous, but I would like to ask that you devote at least a page in the record showing how you have contributed to the help of employers and employees at different times.

Mr. JONES. I will be glad to do that.

Mr. OLIVER. State in a general way whether your services were acceptable to the employer and to the employee.

Mr. JONES. I will put that in the record.

The cooperative employment offices have rendered valuable assistance to several of the large railroad systems of the country in supplying them with trackmen. Permit me to quote from a letter from the superintendent of one of the largest railroads of the country under date of November 12, 1929:

"I wish to express my appreciation for the very valuable cooperation which you have accorded us during the past summer and fall in securing labor for our track maintenance forces. We would have been seriously inconvenienced and handicapped by lack of sufficient men had it not been for the excellent service which you provided."

In the industrial centers the Employment Service is in constant communication with large employers of labor, and through their splendid cooperation the Employment Service finds avenues of opportunities to place applicants for employment. Without such cooperation the Employment Service would experience much difficulty in directing applicants to employment. I am well convinced that both employer and employee, in the main, are well satisfied with the service rendered, particularly as it relates to common laborers and mechanics. This is also true of offices equipped to make higher grade placements. In my judgment the employment services of many States, as organized at present, are touching only the grass roots of opportunity of what a public employment service should be. Many of the cooperating offices have not sufficient funds to employ a highly trained personnel so that it can enter into the higher placement fields.

Mr. ACKERMAN. We are very much obliged to you, Mr. Jones, for the illuminating statement you have made to us this afternoon.
