Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Illinois Free Employment Offices: For the Year Ending September 30, 1912 Two years ago the British Parliament enacted a law providing for the establishment of twelve labor exchanges in different parts of the Kingdom. Prior to that time employment offices were maintained in certain industrial centers. Some time ago it was the writer's privilege to inspect a number of those offices. They were supported by the respective municipalities and conducted on a plan similar to that in force in our American states. While in a measure successful in meeting the local needs of communities, the problem of unemployment in later years reached such threatening proportions as to suggest to the statesmen of that Empire the necessity and advisability of a more general and effective plan. The law referred to was the result, and in order to give vitality to the scheme, a sum of money, equal to one million dollars in our currency, was appropriated for their support. England is now seriously engaged in the work of finding and creating employment for her armies of idle men. In the management of these agencies under the new plan, the methods -applied by private interests in securing business is adopted. The problem there, like everywhere else, is not so much an absence of demand for labor as, up to this time, a lack of facilities for promptly connecting those in search of employment with those in need of service, and this is the essential function of the labor agency. It is only during periods of intense depression where there is actually a surplus of labor; ordinarily, supply and demand tends to equalize and balance each other, and the local dislocations that involve suffering result largely from a failure on our part to set in motion the machinery required to effectively distribute these forces. But work of this character cannot be performed under a parsimonious plan that limits the available finance to the meager salaries of those charged with such duties. If the service is to be worth the effort, the means must be provided. In recognition of this, England has equipped her labor exchanges not only through the appointment of men specially qualified for such work, but has furnished practically unlimited means for fully carrying out the purpose of the plan. This includes a system of supervision over the wants of the entire country, embracing agricultural as well as industrial employments. It provides for the temporary assembling, lodging, and feeding of men, and, in many instances, for free transportation to the places where their labors are required.
