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。
We are very anxious to help that most needy class； the 〃boardmen；〃 many of whom are 〃sweated〃 out of their miserable earnings； receiving often as low as one shilling for a day's toil。
WE APPEAL TO ALL WHO SYMPATHISE WITH SUFFERING HUMANITY； especially Religious and Philanthropic individuals and Societies； to assist us in our efforts； by placing orders for the supply of Boardmen； Messengers； Bill…distributors； Window…cleaners and other kinds of labour in our hands。 Our charge for 〃boardmen〃 will be 2s。 2d。； including boards； the placing and proper supervision of the men； &c。 Two shillings； at least； will go direct to the men； most of the hirers of boardmen pay this； and some even more； but often not more than one…half reaches the men。 We shall be glad to forward you further information of our plans； or will send a representative to further explain； or to take orders； on receiving notice from you to that effect。
Believe me to be； Yours faithfully； etc。

HOW BEGGARY WAS ABOLISHED IN BAVARIA BY COUNT RUMFORD。
Count Rumford was an American officer who served with considerable distinction in the Revolutionary War in that country； and afterwards settled in England。 From thence he went to Bavaria； where he was promoted to the chief command of its army； and also was energetically employed in the Civil Government。 Bavaria at this time literally swarmed with begga
