THE LABOR BUREAU.

Sketch of Some of the Legislati ton
Effected by Mr.. Kizer
The news of the passage of the Hon.
Z. G. kiZer's bill csta blishing a Bureau
"f Labor and Industrial Statistics In
the State Senate yesterday was received
with enthusiasm by the labor element
here, and Mr.. Kizer. who largely repre-
sents the interests OF that class. was
the recipient of many compliments
1t Is considered little less than re-
markable that he should have secured
the passage Of measure creat ting new
bureau, when others were being abol-
ished and general retrenchment is the
cry all along the line. Especially so
since all previous efforts to establish
a bureau of this kind have failed except
in one case, when a bill was passed, but
the appropriation It carried was taken
from it, and the measure fell fiat
1t was brought up again and again
and considerable work was exp. ndcd
uron ii by the labor unions of the State
but without success. The bill was once
reported favDrably and passed the
ffou&n but was defeated in the Senate.
. 1t was brought up again at the next
session, lat was referred to n com
mttae, from which 1t was never return
cd.
In view OF tho adverse action and the
inaction Of previous sessions of the Leg
islaturc. and the ia lure Of previous ma
irons of the bill the passage Is regarded
rs victory for organized labor and
Mr. Nizcr.
This gentleman has introduced In the
legislature a number of bills, all OF
which have been PASSED
Those bills having most interest for
organized labor and the working classes
generally are: y bin prohibh,ing union
labels and trade marks from being
cpumtcrfcited; bill! providing seats for
female employees III shops, Factories
and stores: and the bill establishing the
bureau OF Labor and Industrial Sta
tistics.
Mr.. Kizcr was also very largely in
strumcntal in securing the rc-appoint-

Mr. Brown is n missionary stationed

United States temporarily, endeavor-
ing 10 arouse interest In the work. He
stated that he had already spoken in
New York. Philadelphia and some of
the other large cities. He is a splcn-
did pulpit orator, and his interesting
subject was admirably handled. He
gave better idea Of the country and
the conditions there than most people
possess. explained that Brazil Is a
country larger than the United States
ALASKA cxcepted), that it had how
ever, but fifteen million inhabitants,
that but fifteen per cent OF the people
could read. He told or the settlement
Of the country by the Portuguese, by
whom 1t is governed to this day, and
gave other interesting descriptions of
this little known country and people.
He spoke again in the afternoon on the
same subject
