Excerpt from Evidence Given Before the Senate Committee on Immigration and Labour, 6th May, 1914<br/><br/>Gentlemen, practically today Canada is facing the question as to whether she is going to manufacture machinery and relies for the junk-heap, or whether she is going to undertake the work of conservation of human resources. I happen to belong to' an international association for the study of the question of unemployment. It met last year in Belgium. There were representatives of 23 countries, 158 cities, labour unions, social service organizations of every kind. They had during two weeks a long series of earnest discussions. This question of the organization of labour bureaus as a neces sary factor in the State administration of every country, small or big, was brought up and thoroughly sifted, and the discussion ended in the whole congress deciding unani mously for it. In the country which is such a very near neighbour to Canada, and in many respects similafithe United States  up till now they have attempted to 'deal with this question by means of spasmodic labour bureaus, that is to say, under the state and under a few municipalities. At the large employment conference which was held in New York in February, to which practically every state and city sent representatives, it was stated clearly by every authority that the system did not work out well, because it ought to be national, with one central authority, and it ought all to be linked up, each state working with each state when necessary, and each city with each city, to overtake the whole burden of the problem of unemployment. The result of that has been very remarkable. I have private information that a Bill is now before Congress to create a federal system of labour bureaus throughout the United States.

This deeply researched book explores the worldwide emergence of free public labour bureaus, a topic practically unexplored in previous literature, yet integral to our understanding of modern labour practices.

The author traces the evolution of these bureaus from their origins in 19th-century Europe to their eventual implementation in North America. Of particular interest in this book is the examination of the effectiveness of each iteration of the labour bureau, the challenges they faced, and how they were overcome.
