CHAPTER XIX.
MISCELLANEOUS AGENCIES. (1) THE INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT.
IN connection with, our Labor Bureau we shall establish an intelligence department, the duty of which will be to collect all kinds of information likely to be of use in prosecuting our Social Reform..
For instance, it would watch the state of the labor market, would ascertain where there was a lack of labor and where a ;glut, would inform the public of the progress of the movement, would bring to our notice any newspaper criticisms or suggestions, and would generally make itself useful in a •thousand ways.
(2) THE POOR MAN5S LAWYER.
This would meet a long-felt want, and could also be work-•ed in connection with the Labor Bureau.
The poor would be able to get sound legal advice in regard to their difficulties, and we should be able to help them in their defence where we believed them to be rwronged.
(3) THE INQUIRY OFFICE FOR MISSING FRIENDS.
This has been established for some time in England with admirable success, our worldwide organization enabling us to trace people under the most unfavorable circumstances. No doubt there would be much scope for such a department in India. At the outset it would form part of the duties of the Labor Bureau, and would not therefore entail any extra expense.
