LAWYERS IN EUROPEAN STATES
Different Qualifications Required for
Adm fssiOn to the Bar.
Naxv York Trlluue.

Prof. Edward jerks Of London gives q
review of the qualifications required for
admission to the bar in the chief European
states The facts are gathered from cor
respondents at the principal capitals. The
article was drawn out by the remarks made
not long ago by Chief Justice Russell, as to
the lack of scientific teaching OF the law
in England. A summary of the facts gath
cred by Prof. jerks in 1.-The Law Times
article, shows that in Germany, Belgium.
Sweden and Norway there is but one class
of practitioners. In France, Italy and
Scotland there is separation between
the advocate and the solicitor. In Holland
there is q theoretical distinction between
barristers and solicitors, but by recent law
one person may unite both functions. Prof.
jerks says that in Germany, France, Italy,
Belgium, Holland, Sweden and Norway
scientific study of law In O university is
practically Indispensable as preliminary
to professional practice. In Scotland 1t fs
Indispensable for a barrlster, but not
essential, though usual, in the case OF
solicitor. In Germany and Belgium ap-
premiership or service under practitioner
is compulsory. In Italy it Is required for
barristers, but not for solicitors. In Scot
land the rule is the other way. France,
Holland Sweden and Norway do not re-
auire previous apprenticeship. While the
information does not cover all the states
Of Europe, IL II apparent that England has
been almost alone in failing to offer courses

LIBRARY AND BUREAU orLAgoR.

The Bureau of Labor held specia' meet
ing in the room, COL Thirteenth street, on
last Sunday evening. President Sprague
presided and eighteen organizations were
representeG. The report of the committee
on hall was received, which was TO the
effect that the second floor of the Bunch
building, 316 Eighth street, had been
secured.
The committee further reported that since
securing the hall number of applications
from local organizations had been received
requesting the privilege of renting the hall
at night for meeting purposes ana judging
from the number of applications received,
the committee was of the opinion that the
hail could he rented TO advantage every
night of the week. The report OF the COM
mittce was accepted, and il was authorized
to complete its work by having the hail
properly furnished, ETC.
Owing TO the fact that all the locals
affiliated had not received proper notice
of the meeting, therefore being not repre-
sented. IL was decided TO postpone the
election OF a manager till the next meeting.
The next regular meeting Will be held
today. IL was suggested that the meeting
be held in the new headquarters, and for
all delegates TO be SO notified. Several
important committees were appointed,
which will make report at the meeting
today.
During the evening communication was
received from Mr.. Woodford ID. Harlan,
presenting proposition for the estab-
lishment Of the bureau on "a scale COM
mensurate with the good it could accom-
plish.
The plan contemplates the erection Of
suitable building, with library, furni-
ture and other articles necessary 10 carry
out the present plans, and in addition it
was suggested that the building could be
utilized for labor and other conventions,
public meetings, lectures, ETC., and would

tion aud extortion OF the pa awnshop.
The communication then went on at
length to explain the plan OF procedure.
The committee, however, decided that no
matter how commendable the plan might
be, 1t was impracticable at the present time,
and the gentlemen were SO informed.

why and how such evils can be remedicd
by the application OF the single tax.

The committee had also waited on Chair
man Phillips OF the House Labor Committee,
and had requested that gentleman to intro
duce the labor bills prepared by the Fedora

told the committee that he was pressed for
time, and suggested that the committee
