In order to prevent and combat unemployment, on the one hand, and to help the unemployed on the other hand, it is necessary to know and implement the following urgently:
- You will take the most intensive measures to ensure that all enterprises strictly comply with the law on working hours, the law for the protection of minors and women, and the law on Sunday rest. For this purpose, you will supervise: a) That no one works more than 8 hours a day or 48 hours a week (…). b) Children under 14 should not be employed, and those over 14 and women should not be used for heavy work and should not be used at night after 10 o’clock c) Additional hours should not be allowed except with the authorization of the Ministry.
- Not to approve the entry of foreign subjects into the country except in exceptional and absolutely necessary cases.

In principle, you will oppose layoffs and advise businesses to reduce daily or weekly working hours in order to keep all employees.
- You will seek to know thoroughly the general causes of the work crisis and the special causes of each enterprise, which stagnates or is about to stop working, and you will report them to the Ministry.
- You will maintain a close contact with the organizations of industrialists and traders, in order to know their needs, their intentions and to gain their trust in your concern. and the Ministry.
- For any deviations, you will immediately go to court.

As for the necessary tact and the effectiveness of the measures taken, they belong to your experience and skill. The strict application of your measures. it must be done in such a way that it does not negatively influence your relations with those interested and is compensated by the positive effect on the labor market, the ministerial note also shows.
Regarding helping the unemployed, we inform you of the following:
- You will set up the relief committees in the shortest possible time. Those committees will be composed of you, the mayor of the city, the president of the county council, the police chief, the industrial inspector (where they exist), the presidents of the chambers of commerce and industry, the chambers of agriculture, the presidents of industrial corporations, the workers’ representatives, sent by the more representative organizations and legally constituted, the presidents of the commercial councils, the representatives of Ugor, the presidents of the charitable and public assistance institutions, etc., and any other persons you may find necessary. All will work honorably.
- Together with the committee, you will organize, at the town halls, an office for sorting the unemployed through the means you find best. As unemployed you will consider only those skilled and unskilled workers who have no other source of existence than their work and who, in the usual way, lived from the product of this work, and now they do not have and cannot find work. Any other persons will not be helped as unemployed.
- Together with the Committee, you will determine the need for help and the means for procuring the necessary amounts. We recommend that you try the solution that businesses contribute one leu per worker per week and the workers at work also contribute one leu per week. Likewise, city halls could introduce taxes on show tickets or other means indicated by the committee.
- Those who came from the villages and remained without work will not be helped and will be sent to their homes in the province.
- Only the locals will help themselves, refusing help to all those who come without work, from elsewhere and especially in order to help
- The assistance will be provided through the town halls and under the guidance and supervision of the committee.
- Help will only be in kind and never in money. First of all, the system of canteens is recommended, then of serving food in kind through vouchers and wood, possibly paying the rent, where it is absolutely necessary and if the funds allow.
- It would be desirable for those registered for assistance to take statements that they accept any job and anywhere, when it is offered to them. No one should have the impression that the help would last however long and that they no longer need to look for a job.
