Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. The record is not absolutely complete, but in general--yes--and some line entries--yes.
Mr. JENNER. Would that form necessarily indicate if the applicant refused the position as distinguished from the possibility, for example, that the employer, when he interviewed the applicant, concluded that he did not wish to employ him?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. There is some indication of each, yes.
Mr. JENNER. Now, taking those entries, would you comment on each of them in that respect, taking them seriatically and tell us about it.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. On the first line entry, in the column headed "Call" there is a dash. That indicates to me that the applicant was not called in, that he was in the office and referred to the placement section. On the same line, under the word "referred" there is a date--10-8, which is struck through, and above that is written "10-10" and then under the heading, "Employer or agency," I am reading the entry there, "Harrel and Harrington, architects;" under job title or purpose, the word "Messenger"; under the abbreviation for duration, the letter "P" which indicates a permanent job; under "pay", I am reading $1.50.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. The hour is not indicated--that is inferred. There is no entry under "results". On the same line under "remarks" are the initials "LL".
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Placement worker who was with us formerly, whose name is Louise Latham.
Mr. JENNER. She was with you until yesterday?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Well, I knew it has been an off again and on again situation--so you are more current than I about even in my own agency.
Mr. JENNER. Now, as far as that reference is concerned, there is nothing recorded as to what the result of that reference was?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. That is right. After having seen it, my recollection was that the boy was not hired.
Mr. JENNER. That was the decision of the employer?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; and that is the information that would have come through me, either from talking to the placement worker or to Oswald on a second interview, you see?
Mr. JENNER. The cause for that doesn't appear--of course, it may be that when he got there the job was filled or anyone of a number of reasons?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Since it is a blank entry, the applicant could not have reported, or the employer had rejected him, or he had seen other applicants and chose from them.
