THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
Soldiers To Be Given
Choice of Jobs Before
Women and Civilians
Women who have entered the busi
ness world to take the place of men
in the military service will not be
thrown out of employment with the
return of the soldiers, according to
the bent information available.
However, it is indicated, that in
filling pjositions in the future pref
erence will be given the soldiers over
women or civilians. This situation
already has manifested itself {n At
lanta, reports stating that there are
far more women applicants for posi
tions than openings, employers pre
ferring to save the places for the re
turning boys.
The following advertisement ap
pearing in The Georgian and Sunday
American is probably an illustration
of the attitude of many of the busi
ness men of Atlanta:
“Secretary—Wanted by president
of large concern; accuracy, tact and
efficiency required. Excellent oppor
tunity for right person. Preference
given to a returned soldier.”
Those who may believe there is a
dearth of stenographers and secreta
ries are not familiar with the pulling
power of the classified advertising
columns of The Georgian and Sunday
American., Three insertions of this
advertisement brought twenty-one
replies in the first mail Monday
morning, including several from boys
who are soon to be mustered out of
the army.
Jobs Hard to Get.
Hundreds of women who have been
emploved at good salaries in the
Army Y. M. C. A, Red Cross work,
the Candler Warehouse, the reclama
tion plant at ¥Fort McPherson, and
numerous other Government enter
prises, have been thrown out of work,
and are experiencing much difficulty
in- obtaining other positions. And
Miss Ella Stevens, head of the wom
an's department of the United States
Employment Service, states that in
many instances where openings are
presented the women refuse to accept
smaller salaries than they have been
getting from the Government.
One of the most prominent repre
sentatives of the department store
business in Atlanta stated that the
retail trade generally would make
provisions for girls hired in the ab
sence of the male employecs, but that
the returning soldiers would be given
their old positions whenever possi
ble. .
This authority, however, expressed
a serious doubt as to whether former
clerks, bookkeepers and stenogra
phers will wish to return to their po
sitions. This opinion he based on
the natural presumption that men

1918, During the attack on Cheppy,
Lieutenant Edwards displayed unusual
gallantry by crossing a fire-swept area

many of the tanks were sfruck by bullets

Second Lieutenant Mitchell H. Brown
(observer) U. 8. A. 50 Aero Squadron.—
For extraordinary heroism in action
near Beffu et la Morthomme, October 23,
1918.—Whilg on a reconnaissance for the
Se\'emy-eiflflh Division he attacked an
enemy bailoon and forced it to descend,
They were in turn attacked by three en
emy planes (Fokker type). The incen
diary bullets from the enemy's machine
who went to France have gained a
broader outlook on life and business,
amd will wish to enter other lines of
employment, with bigger prospects,
rather than return to their former
places.
While it is generally conceded that
the soldiers deserve the best that can
he given them, it is not believed that
a woman who has made good in
her place, will be thrown out of em
ployment to make room for a return
ed soldier who probably could not fill
the position as well,
As for girls who left their posi
tions to accept larger saiaries for
Government work, they inust take
whatever they can get, is the gen-|
eral opinion.
Miss Stevens, of the Woman's La
bor Department, stated that she is
“up in the air,” so to speak, trying
to secure openings for the women
who are peuring in at all hours of
the day. She stated that the rail
roads and banks are hiring practical
ly no women at all, two prominent
concerns stating that they are hold
ing all vacancies open for the sol
diers.
“We will probably give you some
stenographers pretty soon,” is the
statement made by one of the rail
road companies.
Many Women Placed.
“During the week of October 11 to
16, seventy women applicants were
placed in local business houses, and
during the last week only fifty-two
were placed, the number of onenings
having fallen off considerably, and
many of them are still unfilled.
Miss Stevens eaid that many of
the banks and railroads have al
ready received applications from
their former emvloyces, now in the
service, asking for their old posi
tions, and that invariably they are
being saved until the men return.
A possibility of some relief in the
situation is seen by Miss Stevens, in
the “fact thta autohomile, lumber
companies, and other businesses,
which were either cut down or sus
pended altogether during the war,
will resume operations on full time
now. Two stenographers were
placed with an automobile company
last week, and many wives of soi
diers were placed in candy factories
and other large concerns of like
character. Many others were sent
out of town to weork.
With the increase of business in
1919, it is gzenerally predicted that
there will be enough positions for
all, and that the soldiers can be
taken care of without throwing the
women out of employment.

The serious defects of our school system as administered by the
present board were so generally recognized by the eitizens of Atlanta that
the Legislature was asked to amend the charter, giving the people the
right to eleet a Sehool Board of their own choosing and directly responsi
hle to the people.
Under the authority of this act, the people in cach of the five school
districts went to work in their own way to select men best fitted for these
positions, Neighborhood meetings were held at each school in which the
patrons and their friends took counsel together and recommended the
men of their choice to the whole city for election. Then there was a gen
cral meeting of the school patrons at which the school ticket, as a whole,
was endorsed. Be it elearly understood that these men were CHOSEN
BY THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES UNDER THE MOST DEMO
CRATIC HOME-RULE METHODS. and they now ask the ¢ity as a whole
to elect lh('lll,
In two of the distriets the candidates on the regular school ticket are
opposed by members of the old board. Mr. W, L. Terrell, of the First Dis
triet is opposed by Mr. J. E. Hickey, of the majority faction of the present
hoard. In the Fourth Distriet, Mr. Henry B. Troutman is opposed by Mr.
George F. Kubanks, also of the majority faction of the present board. In
the other districts the regular school candidates have no opposition. While
Mr. Terrell is a member of the present board, he has consistently and cour
ageously stood for a progressive policy against the majority faction,
This makes the issue perfectly clear. Those who recognize the se
rious shorteomings of our school system and the need of new men and
new methods will support the school patrons in their efforts to bring
about these reforms. Those who are opposed to reform and are satisfied
with the old conditions will naturally vote for the men who were influen
tial in ereating and maintaining those conditions.
Remember, five men are to be elected, and all five must be voted for
by the entire city. "The following is the ticket officially endorsed by the
school patrons: :
Distriet 1-—W. H. TERELI~-Ist and 6th Wards.
Distriet 2—S. B. TURMAN —2d and 3d Wards.
District 3—PAUL L. FLEMING—4th and 9th Wards.
District 4—HENRY B. TROUTMAN—Sth and Bth Wards,
District S—FRED E. WINBURN-—7th and 10th Wards.
