Scope and Content: The Board to Investigate the Subject of the Unemployed inquired into the subject of the unemployed in Massachusetts and measures for their relief by the Commonwealth and its municipalities.  It was to cooperate with county and municipal authorities in devising methods of distinguishing confirmed vagrants from those willing to work (St 1894, c 239, s 4).  To further its investigations in this area, the board tracked the flow of tramps lodged overnight by police in Massachusetts towns, as recorded in this series.
