NUREMBERG.
At  Nuremherg-,  where  there  is  a  population  of  about  300,000,
it  was  learned  that  willing  workers  can  always  find  emplov-
inent.  The  chief  of  the  Labour  Exchange  here  expressed  his
indignation  at  the  mention  of  the  "  horseflesh  agitation  "
during  the  General  ]*]lection.  He  was  well  aware,  he  said,  of
the  false  statements  that  liad  been  made,  and  also  stated  that
Mr.  Winston  Churchill  visited  the  exchange  Avhilst  in  Ger-
many. Unskilled  workers  received  5|d.  per  hour,  while  houses
of  two  rooms  and  kitchen  cost  £12  10s.  a  year  with  rates.
STUTTGART.
The  next  impoitant  place  visited  was  Stuttgart,  where  there
is  also  a  population  of  a  quarter  of  a  million.  Among  the
places  inspected  was  one  known  as  "  The  People's  Kitchen,"
where  substantial  meals  can  be  had  for  3d.,  comprising*  meat,
potatoes,  and  vegetables.  The  proprietor  of  the  establishment
vouchsafed  the  0|)inion  that  Gennan  workei's  were  more  con-
stantly employed  than  the  British  worker.  At  the  Labour
Exchange  they  were  informed  that  about  40  applied  weekly,
and  that  unskilled  workers  could  alw^ays  find  employment.
