RED TAPEISM.
Mr Henniker Heaton gives an excellent example of the method in which Government, Departments stultify eact other in England. The Board oi Tra<Je, 'at considerable trouble and expense, prepares' and issues monthly the "Labour Ga?ette," . with the express, purpose of mating know?; to the pukic, and more particularly to wording men and women, all available information with regard to labour. "Because'. it is published monthly (s*ys Mr Heaton), instead of weekly, it ceinnqt be transmitted through the post at newspaper rates. Country employment agencies, working men's institutes and libraries are therefore debarred from receiving this publication, without paying a heavy fine. I wrqte tp the President of t^e Bqard pf Trade, suggesting tliat he should issue the useful publication, or a sheet o V f it t pnqp a ,week, if he could not get over the difficulty in any other way. The depgrtmeotal reply js t]iat my request cannot be complied with. There 19. nothing left- for ine to buf tp move, a year hence, the reduqtdoii of soinei official's salary." \
