As regards the technical side of the registring of labour we would mention besides that the 

 workmen transported by the Labour - Office are guided by special organs having received an 

 appropriate instruction. 



Apart from the transport of labour to the working-place the Labour-Office brought the labourers 

 also back at the request and at the cost of the respective employers. 



As agencies for the collection of the demands of labourers serve, beside the Central Office 

 of Vienna, the Labour-Offices of the German Agricultural Society for the province of Moravia at 

 Briinn, the Registry-Office of the Provincial Federation of Charitable Societies at Graz (Styria), and 

 the branch of this Federation at Bruck-on-the-Mur, the Board of agriculture of Upper Austria at Linz, 

 and the Labour-Offices of Troppau, Bielitz, Jagerndorf and Teschen. At Oderberg there was founded 

 besides an agency for the reception and engagement of season-labourers. 



Apart from the domain of the labour- registring activity in the strict sense of the word the 

 Labour-Office also devoted itself to the collection of statistical data on the Austrian labour markets 

 before all with regard to the market of agricultural labourers by elaborating the „query action" began 

 with the best success in the very year of its foundation. 



The following table gives the most important data for labour-contracts of the year 1912 

 grouped for the various provinces as compared with the wages of 1911 as well as those of the 

 Labour-Office of 1912.
