第124章 A PRACTICAL CONCLUSION.(8)

The opening of branches of the Labour Bureau as fast as funds and opportunities permit,in all the large towns and centres of industry throughout Great Britain.

In connection with the Labour Bureau,we propose to deal with both skilled and unskilled workers,amongst the latter forming such agencies as "Sandwich"Board Men's Society,Shoe Black,Carpet Beating,White-washing,Window Cleaning,Wood Chopping,and other Brigades,all of which will,with many others,be put into operation as far as the assistance of the public (in the shape of applying for workers of all kinds)will afford us the opportunity.

A Domestic Servants'Agency will also be a branch of the Bureau,and a Home For Domestic Servants out of situation is also in contemplation.In this and other matters funds alone are required to commence operations.All communications,donations,etc.,should be addressed as above,marked "Labour Bureau,"etc.

CENTRAL LABOUR BUREAU.LOCAL AGENTS AND CORRESPONDENTS'DEPARTMENT.

Dear Comrade,--The enclosed letter,which has been sent to our Officers throughout the Field,will explain the object we have in view.

Your name has been suggested to us as one whose heart is thoroughly in sympathy with any effort on behalf of poor suffering humanity.

We are anxious to have in connection with each of our Corps,and in every locality throughout the Kingdom,some sympathetic,level-headed comrade,acting as our Agent or local Correspondent,to whom we could refer at all times for reliable information,and who would take it as work of love to regularly communicate useful information respecting the social condition of things generally in their neighbourhood.

Kindly reply,giving us your views and feelings on the subject as soon as possible,as we are anxious to organise at once.The first business on hand is for us to get information of those out of work and employers requiring workers,so that we can place them upon our registers,and make known the wants both of employers and employes.

We shall be glad of a communication from you,giving us some facts as to the condition of things in your locality,or any ideas or suggestions you would like to give,calculated to help us in connection with this good work.

I may say that the Social Wing not only comprehends the labour question,but also prison rescue and other branches of Salvation work,dealing with broken-down humanity generally,so that you can see what a great blessing you may be to the work of God by co-operating with us.

Believe me to be,Yours affectionately for the Suffering and Lost,etc.

Corps.

Date.189.

Kindly return this as soon as possible,and we will then place ourselves in communication with the Comrade you propose for this position.

TO EMPLOYERS OF LABOUR.

We beg to bring to your notice the fact that the Salvation Army has opened at the above address (in connection with the Social Reform Wing),a Labour Bureau for the Registration of the wants of all classes of Labour,for both employer and employe in London and throughout the Kingdom,our object being to place in communication with each other,for mutual advantage,those who want workers and those who want work.

Arrangements have been made at the above address for waiting rooms,where employers can see unemployed men and women,and where the latter may have accommodation to write letters,see the advertisements in the papers,&c.,&c.

If you are in want of workers of any kind,will you kindly fill up the enclosed form and return it to us?We will then have the particulars entered up,and endeavour to have your wants supplied.

All applications,I need hardly assure you,will have our best attention,whether they refer to work of a permanent or temporary character.

We shall also be glad,through the information office of Labour Department,to give you any further information as to our plans,&c.,or an Officer will wait upon you to receive instructions for the supply of workers,if requested.

As no charge will be made for registration of either the wants of employers or the wants of the unemployed,it will be obvious that a considerable outlay will be necessary to sustain these operations in active usefulness,and that therefore financial help will be greatly needed.

We shall gratefully receive donations,from the smallest coin up,to help to cover the cost of working this department.We think it right to say that only in special cases shall we feel at liberty to give personal recommendations.This however,will no doubt be understood,seeing that we shall have to deal with very large numbers who are total strangers to us.Please address all communications or donations as above,marked "Central Labour Bureau,"etc.

WE PROPOSE TO ENTER UPON A CRUSADE AGAINST "SWEATING."WILL YOU HELP US?

Dear Sir,--in connection with the Social Reform Wing a Central Labour Bureau has been opened,one department of which will deal especially with that class of labour termed "unskilled,"from amongst whom are drawn BOARDMEN,MESSENGERS,BILL DISTRIBUTORS,CIRCULAR ADDRESSERS,WINDOW CLEANERS,WHITE-WASHERS,CARPET BEATERS,&C.,&C.

It is very important that work given to these workers and others not enumerated,should be taxed as little as possible by the Contractor,or those who act between the employer and the worker.

In all our operations in this capacity we do not propose to make profit out of those we benefit;paying over the whole amount received,less say one halfpenny in the shilling,or some such small sum which will go towards the expense of providing boards for "sandwich"boardmen,the hire of barrows,purchase of necessary tools,&c.,&c.

  • 忧乐天下:范仲淹传

    忧乐天下:范仲淹传

    范仲淹是北宋著名的政治家和文学家,他有两句重要的格言:一是“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐”;二是“为官公罪不可无,私罪不可有”。至今仍有重要警示意义。后一句做官必须坚持原则,不怕得罪皇帝和上级,不怕得“公罪”,但务求清白,决不能贪赃枉法之类。本传系统叙述范仲淹生平,赞扬其高尚人格,又细致分析《岳阳楼记》等文学成就,文字也较为生动。——文史专家王曾瑜作者在颇具把控力的激情叙述下,将范仲淹跌宕起伏的人生经历及精神境界给予真实深入的文学再现。为避免写成“资料开会”,作者追寻传主一生的踪迹,历9省市29地现场采访,力求穿越时空与传主进行心灵对话,独特感受与深切认知尽在字里行间。

    帝国往事:国史经典选读(大学国学读本)

    一个具有历史感的人,眼前常有历史“叠影”,能感受现实中的历史“脉动”。这本面向大学生的历史读本,就是为这一点历史“叠影”而来。本书聚焦于古今一脉,如周公制礼,秦废封建立郡县。这是中华社会横向联系与纵向统治的骨干,穿越二十四史,至今还活在你我之间。本书背离流行的“文化讨论”,较多注意那些“制度硬件”,如财政税收、科举兴衰、国会与立宪。全书还关注重大事变及其带动的社会转折,如“蒙古崛起”,如“东南互保”,如近代“革命”等。希望读者有所收益,有所意会,再回头观察现实,多少能感受一点历史的“脉动”。
