school Children to he Allowed TO
Attend Council Bluffs Day.
At the meeting OF the Board of Educa-
ton last night 1t was decided to grant the
pupils Of the public schools a half holiday
on Monday, December Il, in order that
they may be able to attend the exercises
attendant on Council Bluffs day at the
National Corn exposition in Omaha.
In connection with this it was suggested
that the street railway company be re-
auested to give the school children of this
city on that day a round trip rate of
10 cents. Il was argued that the regular
round trip fare of 20 cents would be more
than many Of the children would be able
TO afford and consequently they would
be prevented from participating in the
demonstration across the river on Council
Bluffs day. A committee consisting of
President Emmett FINLEY, who happens to
be one OF the local attorneys for the street
railway company, and LENDERS Elliott,
Shugart and Killpack. will wait upon the
officers of the company and submit the
request.
Contractor Wickham was allowed a final
estimate, amounting to about 5000, for the
construction OF the new school building
at Avenue f and Seventeenth street, as
was ]. c. Bixhy for the heating plant
installed by him in the new building.

Clared that the commission would not
impose on a carrier the duty Of telegraph

practice of the carriers in regard to this
matter is held to be reasonably cXpc-
dltious. The commission says that It is
not able to see why the carrier that has
completed its contracted carriage and has
delivered the shipment to the consigned
who has surrendered his bill Of lading and
accepted his shipment, should. as in this

BUREAU HELD UNWISE
Secretary straus Advises Against it in
Annual Report.
PUBLICITY FOR CORPORATIONS
Best Results Have Come Through
Following out This Idea
Liability Act is TOO Linz
tied in Scope.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Elm his annual
report to the president, Secretary Oscar
S. Straus of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor, advises against the creation
OF a separate department for considera-
ton of problems directly affecting labor.
On this Secretary Straus says:
The question has frequently been mOOtcd,
and doubtless will continue 20 be, that
there should be a separate department for
labor as distinguished from commerce.
While this is a subject which is purely
legislative, l deem It not out of place to
briefly state why I would regard, at any
rate for some years to come, such a separa-
ton unwisc and not advantageous for
labor.
Labor and the industries and commerce
are closely allied and interdepcndent. The
head of a department charged with the
administration of the commercial and in
dustrial activities from which labor de-
rives its chief employment and wages
mote the best interests of labor, espe-
cially in connection with the direction to
be given for the development and eNpan-
sion OF commerce, domestic and foreign,
than If his administration were confined
to the interests Of only one of these two
great industrial forces. which are generally
classified under the designation of capital
and labor.
That commerce which is developed and
expanded to the detriment, either OF tho
health or of the wage standard, Of the
lahorers engaged therein, however proflt-
able 1t might he in the material sense,
is harmful to a nations welfare, and
should be discouraged. The head of a de-
partment who is charged with the admin
i~stration Of both of these interests would,
in my judgment, be better qualified to di-
rect out Of channels which lead
to such serious consequences than II these
interests were intrustcd to separate ad-
ministrations. refer, for instance. to that
class If industries which are doleterious
to health or in which the labor Of women

Corporate snpervIsIon.
With reference to the Bureau Of Corpora

TONS, the report says!
The five years experience of the bureau
since it's creation In dealing with corporate
affairs has made It clear that the greatest
advance toward corporate reform must
come through some general system OF pub

work of the bureau thus FAR points to the
IMPERATIVE need of a federal constructive
system for the ~posltive supervision Of In
~terstate corporations. to the primary end
OF securing efficient publicity in corporate
affairs. Such publicity must be of the
sort that is adapted to the practical rN-
duirements of American public opinion. It
can not content itself with the mere publi-
cation Of masses Of facts and figures.
