NO UNEMPLOYED IN LONDON
FOR BOARD TO FIND WORK FOR

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.J
LONDON. oct. 16-The central I'M
employed body for London has practi-
cally gone out OF business because there
is no work for 1t to do. Organized pri-
marily to find work for the unemployed
in London, It now finds there are no
unemployed to find work for. The war,
so far from increasing unemployment and
poverty. as was generally anticipated
when the conflict began, has had the
contrary effect.
After nearly fifteen months of war
said Mr.. Brinsley Harper presiding at a
meeting of the organization, there Is
not only no evidence Of distress but there
rs abundant evidence Of abuormally plen-
tiful employment and exceptionally high
wages Nor do the reports we have re-
ceived indicate that the increased cost
of living has led to an increase of pow
erty and restitution. A partial explana-
ton may be found in the fact that owing
to the great demand for Juvenile labor
young wage earners have been able to
supplement the family income to an I'M
precedented extent"
Under these circumstances, Mr. Har-
per explained, It had been decided to
close most Of the offices of the organi-
zation and to retain only enough clerks
to keep the machinery at the head office
going.

the end OF the war thirteen of the most
important branches of labor in Leipzig
petitioned the city fathers to install, as a
separate and distinct branch of the munic-
ipal employment bureau, department
specially for returning soldiers.
Store employees estimate that between
100000 and 10000 Of their number will
come back when peace is declared. The
number of clerks Is expected to be cor
respondinsly large and the number of
technical workers is also very great. The
figures refer to entire Germany.
The Leipzigers believe that the work
OF finding places for Leipzig's share of
the returning throng must be begun now
II there is not to be confusion and SUI
fering for many seeking work. The mer-
camille, technical and office employers of
the city are pressing the matter especially
in the belief that their branches of labor
are going to be particularly hard pressed.
In their petition. however. they do not
hazard a guess as to when the return
