my opinion il would locate responsibility

The department Of housing and labor.
THE present government Of the District
contains no adequate means for the col
lection of Information in relation 10 hous-

cities and the bureaus Of labor In most
States are also lacking. The office Of the
commissioner of insurance might also
be organized into bureau and appro-

ITO meet the above requirements /
suggest that the following bureaus be
constituted under this department:
Bureau of statistics:
This bureau should obtain and publish
information on such matters as child
labor. women's labor, pawnshops. indus
trial Insurance, and other forms of indus
trial savings, hours, and conditions Of
labor. and other matters relative 10 the
condition and welfare Of wsge-earners-
II should also collect and publish reports
on the housing and allied problems Of the
District
Bureau Of housing;
This bureau should inforce the laws
regarding tenements, small houses, alley
shacks. and alleys. The recent experience
OF the New York City tenement house de-
partment shows that the supervision Of
the house by special department de-
fnes responsibility and brings better re-
suits than when a general building de-
partment controls all classes Of private
buildings.
Bureau OF labor.
This bureau should have the oversight
Of pawushops, loan companies. employ
ment agencies, and the enforcement Of
laws relating to factories. workshops, and
stores. Such a bureau is greatly needed
for the sake Of all who resort 20 the
various agencies above named. and for
all these, including women and children.
who should have the protection OF ade-
quate factory laws

but the former always require careful
inspection, and also the latter as I am
told they have been the undoing Of
many in the public service at Washington.
The adjustment Of the supply and
demand of labor is OF the highest i'm
portanCe The public machinery for this
adjustment is licensed employment agen-
cies, which should have far more serious
consideration in this country than they
receive at present A careful canvass of
employment agencies Of the District of
Columbia last spring indicated that these
agencies are no better. and probably no
worse than those OF other cities. but
their value is far below what It might be

Editor The Washington Herald:
l want 10 thank you for the editorial
in The Washington Herald of yesterday
on the housing conditions OF the city Of
Washington. The recent movement Is
another illustration Of the ease with
which great problems can be solved by
professional reformerS. It is true that
two committees Of Congress are giving
months of their time each year % the
consideration of matters designed to bene-
| fit the District Of Columbia, and It is
equally true that the outside refOrmers
never think of giving any credit 10 those
committees for the work they do. Men

to tell the people of Washington and the
Congress how to make Washington

corporations less wisely managed than
those of Washington. but they can. of
hand and without Investigation. propose
reforms for the Capital city that would

True. Washington ought 10 be as near

on the District Of Columbia had before
them over 800 bills during the last Con

came laws, and yet It seems that another
deiuge OF legislative measures Is being
prepared. The laws now on the statute
books relating 70 sanitary and health
matters IN the District OF Columbia would
make a large volume, and unquestionably
