[ firmly believe that the institu-
tions in charge of the board of con
troll have never been in a higher
state of efficiency and that the in
mates thereof are safe in the hands
OF the board, and | do not hesitate

bureau of labor for the diligence it
has exercised in carrying out the
provisions of the factory inspection
law. During 1901, 1861 establish

feature of this work is the fact that
although nearly one thousand or
ders we're issued to the employees
during the twenty-one months above
mentioned, the inspectors were al
ways courteously treated, and the
bureau has found every where among
the employers a most willing spirit
to aid in improving all conditions
