NOVEL EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.
A Useful Function of the Post Office of
Luxemburg
A new idea for bringing together
employer and the seeker for work la
described in the August consular re-
ports by George H. Murphy vice com- '
merci al agent at Luxemburg. The
account is of an experiment begun by
the government of the grand duchy
of Luxemburg Belgium to use the
post office as a medium for the trans-
mission of offers of and applicants for
employment between wage payers and
wage earners in other words a labor
exchange. In establishing the labor
exchange as a brach of the postal
service the Luxemburg government
makes each post office an employment
bureau and its advantages are offered
to everyone in need of employ-
ment The list of offers and appli-
cations are posted publicly in fifty-two
post offices postal agencies and relay
stations and also in 101 railway sta-
tions and in 2180 hotels restaurants
and public houses. Applications may
be made to the nearest post office or
to the general post office either in
person or by a specially prepared pos-
tal card and they are registered
gratuitously. An application can be
withdrawn at any time by notifying
the post office where it is registered.
When an offer of employment is re-
ceived the applicant is notified by pos-
tal card if he does not live near enough
for a personal notice.
The post office assumes no responsi-
bility in the transaction between the
employers and employes its duties be-
ing restricted to the acceptance trans-
mission and posting of applications and
offers. An accompanying table shows
that since the establishmemt of this
system in December 1892 and up to
and including December 1894 out of
1904 applications for employment 1701
were realized 36'46 employers made of-
fers for 4759 hands and 3514 of these
employers secured 4427employes. This
shows also that the number of em-
ployers wanting help during the time
was about three times greater than the
number of persons asking employment
a condition greatly in contrast to that
existing in the United States during
the same period when strikes and in-
dustrial armies were leading issues.
Reavel Savage consul at Nantes
France in the same number gives an
account of a somewhat similar institu-
tion in his consular district except
that it originated with the working-
men themselves and is purely a pri-
vate matter.
An office was established in 1893.
where working people male or female
out of employment could register
their names and addresses giving par-
ticulars as to age sex trade experi-
ence etc. for ten cents and the only
additional cost was another ten cents
when employment was secured. The
office more than paid expenses after
paying cost of newspaper advertising
and has been the means of securing
profitable employment fora large num-
ber who would probably have remained
unemployed. The employing classes
were greatly benefited by the plan
and when one needs a hand he knows
exactly where to find him and also
his record as to character etc. The
consul says that this scheme has been
enormously beneficial and that strikes
in his consular district have greatly
decreased. —Geyer’s Stationer.
THE CALIFORNIA MOUNTAINS.
Some of the Difficulties of Burro Naviga-
tion.
One afternoon astride diminutive
burros we left the hotel and drove
down into the cool shadows of the
canyon. We were bound for a giant fig
tree far up the mountainside. As far
as we could see were vast vistas of
mountains and valleys. The denuded
sides of Eagle rock rose above a growth
of manzanita and madrono. A hawk
in gradually lessening circles glided
down the gray walls of a volcanic
slide and ascended in another mo-
ment with a rabbit in its talons.
The sun found its way in
blotches of light through the network
of leaves and wild grapevines above
our heads. The bnrros impervious to
our blows and threats hardly moved
along the narrow trail that at times
wound along shifting beds of gravel
where but one misstep would have
dropped the rider down hundreds of
feet among the great boulders in the
bed of the creek. Ofttimes the trail
was so steep that we held on with
difficulty and yet out long-eared
short-legged beasts plodded on with
the same unvarying regularity that
we had found fault with on the level.
Vast clouds of steam were issuing
from the "Tea Kettle” to our right that
met the sun and formed a dozen min-
iature fleeting rainbows. A deep stony
arroyo separated us from the great
man-fig. We were forced to dismount
and crowd our burros into this gulch
and up the opposite side. That they
resented this treatment we found on
our return; for one and all absolutely
and positively refused to take one
step downward into the arroya We
pleaded and begged patted and
whipped to no purpose. They simply
braced their four small feet laid
back their long ears and took it all
alike in scornful silence. At last we
ranged them along the edge of the ar>
royo and then I took a run and a
jump and threw my shoulder against
the most stubborn of the lot. The
move was successful. Like a shot the
little fellow went over the bank and
landed on his feet in the bottom. The
others surrendered and scrambled
meekly down.- 4a - v
