Under capitalistic governments the Queensland State Labor Bureah was merely an employment agency con ducted much in the same way as the private employment agencies are conducted. Recognizing the serious public evils arising out of unemploy- ment, the labor government of Queensland, shortly after it came in- to office, reorganized the bureau and substantially increased it's functions, It aimed at making labor more mobile by establishing complete and intricate machinery for ascertaining the re- uuirements of employers and the con ditions of the labor markets over the whole of the state ;ascertaining with the greatest possible accuracy the number of men in the various dis tricts requiring work, and classifying them according to capabilities; keep ing a data treating to the above thoroughly up to date that at any time tho lrformation was never more than week old: advancing fares. or portions of fares, to men anxious to work at distant occupations waiting for them but which without money they could not take up; placing ap- plicants in whatever suitable availa

For the benefit of the big wooden guns of Vancouver's civic and social circles, whose present fad is a 'Ban the Hun" Association, we reproduce the following part of an address de- livered by a MT Quiggin in the sen ate house of Cambridge University, last May
 For Cambridge, said MT Quiggin, ignorance of German would mean in- tellectual death. Even before the war, German outside the Latin coun- tries was the medium of intercourse throughout Europe, and in the realm of learning it occupied the position held by Latin during the middle ages. After the war this would even more be the case. The thought of the great CT part of the European continent would be garnered in German, and in order to obtain access to that store house of knowledge German would be requisite. By discountenancing the study of German in schools they would deny their students access to fountain-head of knowledge. Our intellectual life was largely depend ent upon Germany. But there were also other reaosns for studying Ger man. He need hardly say that per- haps the greatest poetic achievement of the last two hundred years was the

The same list shows what work eT6- ployers have to offer, together with all particulars as to wages, etc. Thus at the end of every week the Labor Bureau of the State Labor Govern ment can say with some degree of certainty where there is work to be had and where men are out of work. As result of the good work that has ben done it is necessary to state that since the Labor Government started operations in this way-in October 1915, up to the end of June 1916, no less than 13,716 men had ben found work in the state, per centage of 51.4 per cent of all men asking for help being thus placed in positions. It may be asked why all have not been found work; why only half have been placed in jobs. The answer is easy to find. Many men-probably half of them-regis- ter as soon as they are out of work but find jobs of their own within a few days, and consequently do not need the assistance of the bureau, al though they have registered.
 The method by which applicants are selected for work is by the rota- tion principle, those registering first obtain preference and so on. This method ensures a complete absence of political interference, and no fairer way of choosing men could be devised All are given equal opportunities; the man longest without work gets the first call, and the employer is fully protected, inasmuch as he is under no obligation to continue employing an idle or incompetent worker. Oi the 13,716 assisted with work, as shown above during 1915-16, 6,S83 asked for and were granted assist ance in the way of railroad fares-the Areater part of which money has since been refunded.
 Among other functions discharged by the government bureau is the sup. ervision of private labor exchanges and the safeguarding of the industrial awards and registered agreements of wages and conditions. In cases where a private employment agency is found overcharging an applicant for job, the punishment is swift anal sure, while where employees are paid less than the award wages the bureau also makes the employer oi labor disgorge the rightful wage, be- sides prosecuting him for tamperine with the rewards. Dusing the year 1915-6 no less than 431 prosecutions under this heading were carried out with good results.

enterprises with complete up-to-date
 information as to the conditions of labor in the various districts, so that, as far as consistent with meeting other requirements, the progress at least of some of the undertakings may be adjusted in such a way as to have a steadying and levelling effect on the market.
 It is not too much to say that the bureau has developed rapidly in the direction indicated The statistics of the number of people placed in posi- ton fully proves this. As a result unemployment has been lessened to a marked extent. while the mobility of labor has been increased. Under the old order men in one part of the state would be idle while other parts would be starving for men Today all that is done away with. There is established network of exchanges throughout the country and city dis tricts of the state, and a system of sending to headquarters every seven days a full account of industrial con- ditfons throughout the state. Thus every seven days the headquarters of the bureau in the capital city knows just how labor is throughout the state. These statements give full par ticulars about each applicant for work and what the work is he requires.

work of a German and in the estima- tion of many the two greatest drama tic writers of the nineteenth century wrote in German. It might be said that German poetry and German literature particularly the poetry, had a direct appeal to the English which the verse of France rarely or never had Again, as a form of mental discipline German undoubtedly far excelled French, and German in a way formed an avenue to all the languages of Europe outside the Latin countries. All these languages had been pro- foundly influenced by German and if our men wanted to study Russian, Polish, Hungarian or Scandinavian, they would do well to take German first.

They did not wish to see their col leges degenerate into so many social and athletic clubs; but that he was convinced would be the result, if they cease to study the languages of the European continent, and espec- tally German.

CHdT10S CukcL ClCC- trical scientist for the world-famous Central Electric Company, of Sche- nectady, N Y., is considered one of the greatest living electrical experts. Dr Steinmetz is Socialist as well as scientiot, and his opinions are always interesting because he inyari- ably expresses them so succinctly. The international Steam Engineers printed an interview with this wizard which we are glad to quote in part:
 Dr Steinmetz startled his inter viewers by the declaration that that society should aim at the abolition of work"
 What I said about work ,' the wizard explained, will have no mean ing at all unless we understand what is meant by work. I do not want to abolish energy or occupation. In one sense of the word we shall work more when we work less.
 Doing the things we want to do is not work, not the work we impose on the workingman. Engineering is not work to me. It is my life, my way of expressing myself. I spend twelve or fourteen hours a day at engineering I spend half an hour a day at work, reading the things or doing the things which I feel I must read or do, but that are in themselves disagreeable and uninteresting.
 But standing in front of a punch press is all work No one can possi- bly be interested in the monotonous turning of the machine. No one does it because he wants to do it.
 &aa#
 If any one uses his faculties con stantly at a disagreeable task he can not use them to express himself. They become dulled The more disagree able the task. the greater the dead ening process.
 Flight hours a day is too long, far too long for human being to tend a machine. The man who works in a shop eight hours today works longer than the man who worked twelve or fourteen hours years ago. In those days his occupation may have been crude, but he could get interested in it. He was making something. shoe or wheel or box. There was much disagreeable labor thrown in, but his occupation gave him some play for his creative faculties. The machine has taken that opportunity away,
 **&&
 "The days work should be reduced to four hours. Men could stand that much drudgery and have initiative enough left to enable them to take up interesting occupations. Society, instead of being impoverished by the shorter workday would be enriched by all the greater accomplishments these men would undertake.
 ''The tendency of the machine it. SCH IS JO DTliiS dbOut tuS Nciy Chah6O There is no reason to believe that the labor saving machine has reached a final stage of development. Inven- tions must go on. But heretofore the labor saving machine has meant a tremendous increase in production instead of an actual reduction in the hours of labor and each machine has required the service of a machine tender
 "Yet now automatic machines the machines which superintend them selves, are coming in. These are sup planting human ,drudgery' l see no reason why the factory may not be changed as much in this respect as it has already changed in the transfor- nation from hand to machine produc- tion.

 ways be necessary. But this is not a hardship, where it is associated with the things you like to do. Lying on your back in the hot sand and letting the dirty oil trickle in your face is not pleasant occupation in itself. But you don't mind occasionally if you own the automobile and you have passion for automobiling. You get out and under with considerable pride in yourself for knowing how to fix the machine.
 But suppose you are doing the same thing for $3 day. Then it is unaduIterated work. The chaffueur does.
 Society is organized or disorgan- ized today so that all the disagreeable things associated with disagreeable occupations can be shifted to the shoulders of a certain class of people. We call them the working class. To that class even many of the poten- tially agreeable occupations become drudgery, due to the social stigma at tached to them.
 ''If we had rational organization of society very much of the drudgery of today would be found exceedingly interesting. You can hire a man to work in your garden for starvation wages, and the work at once becomes disagreeabe, socially dishonorable. Yet when fortune smiles on you and endows you with leisure and a home of your own the chances are that you will put in your time at the same oc- cupation and it will prove delightful,
 If it is necessary for the disagree able duties of life to be shifted certain shoulders. there ought to be premium on that particular work. If there is to be distinction in rewards and honors the people who do the most distasteful work of all should receive the greatest rewards and the highest honors. Why should I be hOnored or paid more than the ditch digger? Society could worry along for some time without it's engineers but it couldn't get along without it's laborers" {"
 Dr Steinmetz was itting in the mar velous laboratory of his Schenec- tady residence. His salary is fabu lous, but there is no evidence of ex- treme luxury here. Mysterous elec- trlcal apparatus is installed through out the building, giving the impress sion that much of his income is spent in forcing nature to yield up more and more of it's wonderful secrets Sew erad aores of rather Wild ground where he delights in studying plants and butterflies. and capacious con servatory, filled with rare cactus and orchids, are apparently his only ex- travagance.
 "I don't need more than any other person. he said "I don't consume more than any one could consume if society were organized. You may think I have more than others could have, but comparatively few would want to be bothered with land if it 1 were not for it's commercial value"
 What do you mean by a rational organization of society,"" The inter- viewer had recovered himself enough 1 to ask the question.
 Socialism" said the Wizard. An organization of society in which the | things we need would be manufactur- ed in order to supply those needs. We make things today not to use but to sell, The result is a fearful social loss, not only in profit, interest and rent, but in the abnormal waste of
