[Heber J. Grant]

Pres Geo Q. Cannon presented some letters from parties asking for employment, and stated that the question of furnishing employment for those of our people who were not able to secure it was becoming a very important one, and after a long discussion the matter was referred to the Presiding Bishopric to endeavor to secure employment for those who were willing to work, or try and get them located in some country settlement where there was a favorable opening for them.
