REPORT.
July 1st, 1909, to June 30th, 1910.
In accordance with instructions received from the Central
(Unemployed) Body for London, the following are the replies to the
schedule of information required, for the period from July 1st,
1909, to June 30th, 1910: —
Rota Committees formed to do the work of .classification met
at the Central Office every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
For the purpose of receiving applications from men, three
District Offices were opened on September 20th, and one of the
Enquiry Officers was in attendance each morning (except Saturday)
from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Women were registered at the
Central Office each day from 2to 4 p.m. Enquiries were then made
of the Believing Officer, and the homes visited. Employers within
the Borough were personally visited where possible, but some of them
preferred to have the enquiries made through the post. Employers
outside the Borough were written to, and a stamped, addressed
envelope enclosed for their reply.
The selection of those applicants who were recommended for
work was carried out by the Rota Committee, whose recommendations
were made in accordance with the instructions issued
by the Central (Unemployed) Body.
With regard to Emigration eases, care was taken to select
men (and families) of good physique and with promise of making
good colonists, the restrictions now imposed by the Colonial Government
agents being more stringent than ever, especially to Canada,
assisted emigration to that colony being almost an impossibility.
Wages were paid on Saturdays at the Central Office, and Farm
Colony allowances at the homes of the men by an Officer of the
Committee.
The Committee met on ten occasions at intervals from
July Ist, 1909, to June 30th, 1910. The attendances at the General
and Rota Committees were as follows:—
