the winters work of the distress COM

idle men. This work was undertaken
throughout England under an act o.
Parliament. and Mr.. Mahin's report
shows what has been accomplished IN
that city of quarter million people,
as follows: The total number of
applica tons for work in Nottingham
was 741. with 1879 Dependents; 81 were
PASSED as suitable for such work as the

OF the 3O3 accepted applicatants lett
on the register. 80 were given work d?
the committee, leaving 80 less needy
for whom no work was found. Two
men and their wives were sent to
canada at their request. Onc-thlrd 81
the applicants did not corr" within the
act for want of proper character, foE
insufficient length of local residence. or
for being chrOrically unemployed or
uncomfortable. Many men obtained
employment who, perhaps. had become
| fearful of never doing so again and
were sinking into state of d"snond-
ency from which it would have beer
almost impossible to raise themselves
AS a result of the committees inquiries
of former employers a connection has
been established between it and many
