JUVENILE LABOUR EXCHANGES.
IMIOPOSAJi OK LABOUR DEPARTMENT. WELLINGTON, January 12. The Minister of Labour, the Hon sV. A. Veit-ch, has issued a statement tint the Department ol Labour has already made an endeavour throughout its various brandies to establish exchanges, through which particulars «I boys leaving school and desiring employment could be obtained, and to which employers requiring the services of boys were invited to apply for any labour they might require.
The response from the employers to the invitations issued had so tar been very small. The reason, no doubt, was due to the trade depression. Moreover, it was understood that most employers had their own waiting lists of boys, and made their own engagements directly. it was thought, however, that a comprehensive system should, i'l possible be instituted, by means ol the establishment of juvenile labour employment! exchanges, and the Department had been instructed to make inquiries accordingly.
Voluntary organisations that had been interesting themselves, such as the Chambers of Commerce, Itot'ry Clubs. Y.M.C.A.. etc., will be invited to co-operate with the departmental officers in setting up local committees.
