labor Exchange Reorganization in U.S.SR.

AS the result of this investigation
42,117 people were taken off the reg
lister Of the labor exchange, namely
1872 per cent of the total number of
unemployed.
TT was discovered that among those
4 who had registered as unemployed
there were people who kept two
servants, were the owners Of shops
and frequently whiled away the period
of unemployment in Crimean sana-
toria.
The labor exchanges were full to
overfowing, and moreover many of
those on the register we're utterly I'M
qualified people.
A CCORDING to the date given by
IA Comrade Hindin in his pamphlet
From the Labor Exchange to the EN-
ployment Bureau, out of the total
number of registered unemployed
there were on July 1, 1924, 26.2 per
cent who had never worked for wages,
and 7.S per cent who had not done
any work since Jan. 1, 1922, while so
per cent of the unskilled workers had
never worked for wages.
TN July, 1924, there were in Lenin-
4 grad among the 146,OOO unemployed
over 10000 women, most of them with
no qualifications whatever. Out of the
total number of unemployed $4,000

work, or on the registration of that
person on engagement without the as
sistance Of the employment bureau, a
note to this effect is made in the
documents of the unemployed and as
the same documents are required at
the insurance bureau and for the reg
istration Of the contract, hence no
abuses can take place.
Experience has shown that such a
method is also very convenient for the
unemployed, as they need now only
ito go to the insurance bureau.
d EGISTRATIoN Of unemployed at
~ the employment bureau is volun-
tary. Moreover, the bureau does not
register all unemploymed, but only in
accordance with the demand. Those
who wish to be registered have to un-
dergo an examination as to their
qualifications. This enables the EN-
ployment bureau to send only people
for whom there is a demand. The
bureau does not give any certificates
to the unemployed and is in no way
responsible for them. The bureau
does not make any charges to the un-
employed for its services. A small in
itial fee is taken from the employers
of labor.

workers will be safeguarded. For
from the viewpoint of the trade unions
this is of the utmost Importance.
EMPLOYERS have the right to en-
~ gage labor power to suit their re-
quirements. But factory, workshop
and local employee committees register
the engagement Of every newly en-
gagged worker. Thus, trade union con-
troll over the engagement is even
stronger than before. Moreover, spe-
cial paragraphs are inserted into col
lective agreements making it incum-
bent on employers to give preference
to trade union members, non-members
being engaged only in the event Of
none of the trade union members be-
ing able to do the required work. At
the same time the engagement of a
nonunion worker must have the sane
ton of the union. These measures
are a sufficient guarantee that trade
union members interests are safe, and
experience has already given proof of
this.
A MOTHER safeguard is that trade
"A unions take a direct part in the
establishment of employment bureaus
and in the formation of these bureaus

tatives of economic and state organs

were unskilled workers mainly from
the villages. To provide work for
such an enormous number of people is
Of course extremely difficult even if
it could be done systematically, and
the fact that all these unemployed
were registered at the labor exchange
did not actually help them and greatly
impeded the activity of the exchanges.
That is why it was proposed in the
summer of 1924 that the labor ex-
changes be reorganized and be con-
verted into employment bureaus.
The government monopoly in con.
nection with the engagement of work
ers has been abolished.
DEOPLE may be engaged and can
4 find work for themselves without
having recourse to the labor exchange.
The labor exchange itself becomes an
ordinary employment bureau and reg
istration there is voluntary.
Unemployment doles and various
privileges are henceforth not de-
pendent on registration at the labor
exchange, but are granted In accord
ance with the economic position OF the
unemployed person. Unemployment
doles are paid at the proper insurance
bureaus and their branches. In order
to prevent doles being paid to those
who have already found work, the fol
lowing method has been adopted in
Leningrad: when a person is sent to

lished. In accordance with the law,

In the interest of proper control all

quite sufficient. But of course those

only very small number of people can
escape control. Thus, statistics will
not suffer much from this reform.
Such in general is the character of
the reform.
before dealing with the methods

suits, it is essential to ascertain what
influence trade unions will have under
the new conditions on the engagement
of labor power, and also to what ex-
tent the interests of the organized

the predominance of trade union influ-
ence in them is thereby guaranteed.
OF course the reform of the labor
exchange does not solve the question
of unemployment. But it certainly
makes it easier to help the unem-
ployed. And we see already that after
the reform the number Of unemployed
sent to work is growing, and this in
spite Of the fact that those provided
with temporary work are not taken
into account.
THIS reform is all the more impor-
tant as it has given an opportun-
ity to ascertain the exact extent Of un-
employment, which turned out to de
considerably less than the number of
registered unemployed gave one rea-
son to assume. At the same time it
has made it much easier to give the
unemployed effective help.
