TO SUGGEST INQUIRIES.
A Letter Sent Out by Labor Com
sioner Wright.

Commissioner Carroll d. Wright, of
the department of labor, Washington,
is sending out circular TO a large
number of people interested in labor
affairs, copy of which. is printed be-
low. From the tone of a letter from
Col. Wright to this office which ac-
companies the circular, we are led to
believe that suggestions would be well
come from any person, regardless of
whether they received a copy of the
circular or not. The document reads:
Dear Sir: The Fifty-third congress, near
the close of the last session. authorized this
department to issue a bulletin containing
matters relating to the industrial interests Of
the country. The first number has already
been issued. 1t is my desire to have a part
of each number devoted to the results of
some original inquiry; but such part or chap
ter should be brief, and not exceed fifty pages.
Furthermore, such original inquiry should be
one that could be made in month or two by
one or two of our experts to be specially de-
tailed for the purpose. My object in writing
you now is TO invite you to suggest topics for
such brief original inquiries Any Sugges-
tons you offer should relate to Investigations
that can easily be carried out and that COM
prehend something of value to the country at
large. They should not relate merely to To-
cal or partisan matters but any inquiry that
can be carried out in the way l have init
of the whole people and serve to contribute
information for the treatment and discussion
of social and industrial problems, will be
gladly considered, and, il feasible, promptly
undertaken. l am, respectfully
Carroll d. Wright Commissioner.

IN LABOR'S REALM

There can be no doubt that the labor
organizations throughout the United
states Will make an effort in the direc-
ton OF the shorter work-day during the
coming year, and a number of the, or
carnations are already making prepar-
atoms for stubborn effort Prominent
members of the local unions are agitat-
ing the question at every meeting but
admit that the greatest effort is being
put forward by Chicago and Eastern
unions, especially organizations affiIiat-
ed with various building trades coun-
CHS. Much was expected from the late
session of the American federation of
labor, but the inability of that organi-
cation to map out a definite policy for
the guidance of the members has led to
a good deal of criticism
