Labor bureau plan aims to link jobs across states
Secretary Wilson predicts a shift from jobless men to menless jobs as Western farming yields and Eastern unemployment rise. A federal employment bureau with state and private exchanges would coordinate efforts, prevent misdirected labor, and provide nationwide job information to workers like Olaf the Scandinavian, who faced a lost opportunity due to fragmented agency actions.

Postal Money Orders to Allow Cashing Anywhere Within 30 Days
Instructions issued to Post masters nationwide outline the new postal money order system effective July 1.

The Spokane terminal rate case ruling benefits Wenatchee by leveling carload commodity rates with transMississippi shipments, reducing advantages Seattle once enjoyed. Local business discussion notes potential savings for Wenatchee shippers, though exact benefits depend on future carload movements.
