Government and Idle Labor.
II the British experiment In creating
government labor exchanges succeeds
no better than that in this country
seems to be doing legislators will have
to seek in some other direction for q
solution Of the problem of the unem-
ployed. In the American experiment
its present ineficiency is laid at the
door of the trades unions, which charge
that the division Of information In its
method Of promoting the beneficial
distribution of aliens among the states
and territories is merely encouraging
immigration and playing into the
hands Of strike breakers and employ.
E hostile to the aims Of organized
labor" This situation is unfortunate.
The proper function Of this bureau.
as outlined in the act creating It, is
the promotion Of the industrial vel
fare Of the country at large. Doubt
less the question will be thrashed out
at the next session Of congress and
some action taken in the direction Of
strengthening the division of informa-
ton and the expansion Of its opportu-
mites for usefulness.
