278 WESTERN HEMISPHERE IMMIGRATION

Mr. Jones. We have a questionnaire. A man comes in and wants
employment and we get his name, age, where he is, what he wants
to do. Another form is from the employer. He wants so many men
for work, at a certain age, certain class of work, and so much pay or
wage. Then we have a form showing the number employed and the
aumber unemployed. We have a directing cards that is sent out to
the local man for information as to whether he is employed, and that
gives the information whether he is employed or not, and that is kept
in the files.
Mr. Frex. Now, you have other offices where you connect with
farms?
Mr. Jones. Yes, sir.
Mr. Free. How many?
Mr. Jones. How many farm labor offices?
Mr. Free. Yes. Where are they?
Mr. Jones. El Paso, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Kansas City,
Denver, Colo.; Fargo.
Mr. Free. Fargo, N. Dak.?
Mr. JonEs. Yes, sir: we have one of our best offices there. It is
a good one.
Mr. Fren. That is a place with a very small population.
Mr. Jones. But it covers a great area. It covers North Dakota,
with a great area raising 40,000,000 acres of wheat.
Mr. Free. Couldn’t you put that office in California, with forty
times as much need for men there?
‘Mr. Jones. Isaid to you a while ago when this service was launched
at first it was entirely for the wheat harvest work, but as we have
shown our ability to supply men to successfully harvest the wheat
crop, other seasonal industries appealed to us.
Mr. Free. Never mind that.
The Cuarrman. Itisimportant, He is giving you the information.
I was a party along with the entire Washington delegation doing
the hardest kind of work to see that one was located in the State
of Washington,
Mr. Free. There are three in Texas and none in California.
Mr. Jones. Let me see if you did get down what I did give you.
I gave you El Paso, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Kansas City, Denver,
Fargo—I do not have sa list of them here at hand.
Mr. Free. What are the others?
Mr. Jones. Medford, Oreg.; Salem, Oreg. We contribute considerable
 to that office, since it 1s an employment office.
Mr. Free. What political pull did they have to get that?
Mr. Jones. Not any political pull at all. It was simply a demand
to harvest the hop crop and the fruit crop of that great State.
Mr. Free. You gave me the other one. What was it?
Mr. Jones. Did I give you Spokane?
