Mrs. Cunningham. That means "Applicant rejected job," and frequently these kind of changes are usual happenings with us because we can always call an employer and check too quickly and he will say one thing, or if you talk to another person in staff they will say, "No; we didn't hire him." Can you see how that would happen, sir?

Mr. Jenner. Yes; that combination with the erasure leads you to interpret that, that while there was initially a report that the applicant refused the job, on a further check it was ascertained that he was not hired, meaning that the prospective employer did not hire the applicant, rather than that the applicant rejected the position?

Mrs. Cunningham. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Is there another entry?

Mrs. Cunningham. I think I got into the column under "Remarks" and had explained the word "Direct" before.

Mr. Jenner. All right.

Mrs. Cunningham. I'm sorry—I cannot read the entry under the word "Direct." I can read the initials "RLA", who is our Mr. Robert Adams.

Mr. Jenner. That is the man I examined this morning?

Mrs. Cunningham. Yes.

Mr. Jenner. That means that Robert Adams handled that particular item?
