 ALBANY (N. Y.,) Sept 28.-Labor Com missioner Peck appeared in court today. He said he should not be called upon to allow an examination of the tariff statis- ties received from New York manufac- turers, because they were given in con- fidence and were OOtainable in no other way. His report on labor and wages was based on these. The returns were his own property, not that of the State.
 Commissioner Peck's affi lavit says. in part, that the practice pursued by him in 1890 and 1891 was no departure from the uniform course of prior years. He found n the law creating his office provision him to examine witnesses, who shall, against his will, be compelled to answer any questions respecting his pri- | rate affairs. This restriction rendered it l impossible to give effect to | he intent of tho legislation unless the | confidence of the people of the State was secured and retained and their private | lffairs voluntarily disclosed. Repeated 'efusals come to him from bussiness men, | md besides the circulars sent out each | year, he wrote thousands of letters, giv- ng personal assurance that no use should | De made O: their confidence and every | should be held sacred. | By such legitimate means and honorable | pledges only was he able to discharge | he resposiole duties of his office render o tho Legislature the data annually | 
 In twenty-seven States of the Union, aid he, that have labor bureaus, it has been found necessary to give to all per Ons the pledges of security and conf lence given by him during several years If his official life. The summary issued )y him in 1892, and about which the  have arisen, was issued and published at the time usual for the pub, ication of other State reports, The at empt made 10 establish the theory that lis report was given out to influence ,ending elections Is false, as the compila- ions were all made before any DemOcra- ic nomination was made, and the data Tas obtained before any one could tell Tho the nominees of any party would be.
 The commissioner says he is further dvised by couesel that under decisions n kindred cases injunctions would lie gainst him if he attempted ia any way 0 make public matters which he guar nteed should be held secret and conf entiai.
 The case went over to October l, and 'eck claims first blood.
