A cheering sign Of reviving prosperity
Is the greatly improved feeling in the
iron and steel trade. Leading trade au-
thorities are agreed that this basic in
dustry. recently so heavily depressed, is
now again making progress toward
condition Of activity and of profitable
operation, but they do not go so far as
to predict prosperity for the immediate
future. In this attitude the officials or
the United States Steel Corporation CO.
incide, expressing their belief that de-
cided revival will not be seen before the
late fall The statement OF operations
of the Steel Corporation for the April
May-June quarter was regarded by Wall
Street as fairly encouraging, in spite OF
the heavy falling of OF untitled orders
on hand on June 80, as compared with
the figures Of three months and twelve
months previously. as the second quarter
OF the year was in every department OF
the iron and steel trade a period OF
stagnation and depression.

'In this respect the scope Of the Sec
retary's authority is no greater than is
that OF the Commissioner Of Labor. He
merely has Jurisdiction and control over
the Bureau of Labor. The act OF Feb

thOrity on this point
In conclusion, therefore. let me state
that the Department Of Commerce and
Labor cannot be persuaded TO trsnsgress

gressional act. and intervene IN the beef

Bureau of Labor.

1.-The act Of February Il. 1903. which
established the new Department Of
Commerce and Labor. placed the Blu
reau Of Labor under the Jurisdiction Of
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
and vested the Secretary with the
Jurisdiction and control OF that depart
ment or bureau.
1T is clear that the Bureau Of Labor
is now under the control and jurisdic-
ton Of the Secretary OF the department.
but IL is also true that the Secretary. as
is the case with all other departments,
must depend for the successful admins
tration of that bureau upon its chief,
and cannot be expected Officially to in
trude upon the bureaus head with d.
rections and suggestions in periods u
temporary agitation and unrest. To Go
so would tend TO subvert the discipline
of the department and to defeat the sue
cessful administration of the various
bureaus.

of the fact that pressure has been
brought upon the department to induce
it to intervene in the beef strike at Chi
cago and to restore industrial tranquil
lily there.
ut is well TO state at the outset" said
this official, that there Is a misconcep-
ton in the mind of some persons re-
garding the purpose OF this department
and the scope OF its authority.
No Police Authority.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor was not established with a view
that it's officers would act as policemen
in the industrial world. No police func-
ton whatever attaches 10 the depart
ment. And what is more, it Is not the
duty of the department to pose as a
tribunal of arbitration before which dis
putes between capital and labor may be
adjudicated
I'VE are not required by law to settle
strikes. any more than we are required
to declare strikes. We are no more per
mitted to intervene and compose the DIFF
ferenceS between employers and en-
ployes than we are to fOment discord
between them.
1.-THE duty of the department Is made
clear, and its scope of authority Is cir
cumscribed and fixed. by the acts es-
tablishing the old Bureau of Labor and
the new Department Of Commerce and
Labor.
"The act of Congress approved June %.
1888 in defining the duties Of the Com
missioner of Labor says:
&" The Commissioner Of Labor is also
especially charged to investigate the
causes Of. and facts relating to. all con-
troversies and disputes between employ
ers and employees as they may occur.
and which may tend 20 interfere with
the welfare OF the people OF the differ
ent States, and report thereon TO Con-
gress.'
