note: o EDilOKTON BULLETIN Pot. 16, 1923. THREE THOUSAND JOBS O Alberta Offers the British Harvesters Plenty of Work for the Winter There are three thousand jobs in Northern Alberta awaiting thr2e thousand British harvesters, as a result of the campaign put on by the 'Soldier Settlement Board at thi I behest of the Department of Immigration. This should serve to il- j lustrate the fact that Alberta has ] "come back" a_id should at the same time be a fine tonic for the pessi- I mists. The majority of the men a^e I still engage^ in harvesting and j threshing and so far there has been I no large movement towards the all- ! winter work which they so heartily ' and emphatically demanded, but 1 those who have commenced are giving the best satisfaction.

The employers are apparently of the same mind, and "send me more of the same kind" is the burdei of their conversation. This applies equally to the rural as well as urban areas and as far -as can be seer, no "wasters" have straggled through into Alberta. Last week ©_ie local mine got six of the British islanders, and yesterday isent in a request for thirty more of the "same brand", while much -the same story come-, from the farms. Throughout the north at ever^ railway station there are lists posted by the &■ S. B.; showing whe.e work can be obtained, at what wages, with further particulars as to the class of employment and so on; the men from the United Kingdom can scarcely fail to see thesa a .id those who are toiling in Alberta must know by this time that what has been promised has been fulfilled and that none of them need be cut of employment thi* ' winter.
