From The Indianapolis News, Tuesday, November 17, 1914: Police Court Judge James E. Deery has established an employment bureau in the court so that any “man out of work” who appears hereafter in the court will receive employment if it is within the judge’s power. The police court employment bureau has proved successful in other cities, and Judge Deery believes assistance can be extended to really needy men unfortunate enough to be arrested because they are unemployed. The judge is asking the cooperation of businessmen and contractors who need laborers or skilled workmen. He hopes to have on file in his office jobs for the most deserving of persons who come into court pleading lack of employment. If they fail to make good under the regulations of the employment bureau, they will receive a workhouse sentence.
