The Philadelphia division can find employment for ap proximately 700 men Immediately In its yards at Harrisburg, Enola and Marysville. Machinists are naeded in fair numbers. Car repairmen and track laborers are urgently needed. Freight brakemen, freight firemen, truckers, etc., are all neded. The Bethlehem Steel Company can also use men in large numbers. Unless possessed of previous experi ence, most of these men would be compelled to start as laborers, but would be given plenty of opportun ity to advance themselves to better positions in the plant. The company is employing all men applying for positions and officials said that they could utilize approximately 300 men in the various departments of the Steelton plant. In this concern the workmen would be paid at the pre vailing figure for unskilled labor and would work ten hours per day. Plenty of Work The Central Iron and Steel Com pany, another of Harrisburg's essen- s ■ V MAY 24, 1918. tial industries, can utilize men in l large numbers. Approximately. 550 I men could secure employment with i this concern. Three hundred men can find work as mechanics and first helpers at the open hearth, while over 200 unskilled laborers are need ed. Some few men can find employ ment in clerical positions. All men will be given exceptional opportuni ties to work themselves into one of the positions in which some skill is required. These are only a few of Harris burg's essential industries from whose officials statements have been secured, but they indicate the gen eral condition in Harrisburg. Em ployment can easily be found In practically every essential industry in Harrisburg, although few clerical positions are open. Students and girls are filling many of these po sitions. In addition to the war and o'ther essential industries of Harrisburg, employment can easily be found in sarroundlng farming districts. There the farmers need help badly. Few, if any, of them can secure help sufficient to cultivate their fields ade quately and as a result much valu able ground is wasted. Passengers on "•trains arriving In Harrisburg relate how women are seen in large num- tiers working on farms alone tha tracks of the Pennsylvania Raih road. i i ■ i ■.
