At the Labour Conference, Sir R. S Horne invited the members to consider tinemployment, which was considerable and growing, but regarding which he felt no disquiet about the future, for on there would be nu lack of employment.

1-That a refortnatory or industrial school should be provided to which the

Magistrates should have power to commit juvenile offenders.
