over the world, and make it not only applicable to the transfer of workers between the towns and the provinces, but between Country and Country, and it is impossible to exaggerate the enormous advantages which would result. The officer in charge of our experimental Labour Bureau sends me the following notes as to what has already been done through the agency of the Upper Thames Street office: SALVATION ARMY SOCIAL REFORM WING.

The following are particulars of transactions up to September 26th, 1890: -- Applications for employment--Men .. .. 2462 Women .. 208 ----- 2670 ==== Applications from Employers for Men .. 128 Women .. 59 ----- 187 ==== Sent to Work--Men .. .. .. .. .. 301 Women .. .. .. .. 68 ---- 369 ==== Permanent Situations .. .. .. .. .. 146 Temporary Employment, viz: --Boardmen, Cleaners, &c., &c .. .. 223 Sent to Workshop in Hanbury Street .. .. 165 ==== SECTION 4.--THE HOUSEHOLD SALVAGE BRIGADE. It is obvious that the moment you begin to find work for the unemployed labour of the community, no matter what you do by way of the registration and bringing together of those who want work and those who want workers, there will still remain a vast residuum of unemployed, and it will be the duty of those who undertake to deal with the question to devise means for securing them employment. Many things are possible when there is a directing intelligence at headquarters and discipline in the rank and file, which would be utterly impossible when everyone is left to go where he pleases, when ten men are running for one man's job, and when no one can be depended upon to be in the way at the time he is wanted. When my Scheme is carried out, there will be in every populous centre a Captain of Industry, an Officer specially charged with the regimentation of unorganised labour, who would be continually on the alert, thinking how best to utilise the waste human material in his district. It is contrary to all previous experience to suppose that the addition of so much trained intelligence will not operate beneficially in securing the disposal of a commodity which is at present a drug in the market.
