The fact that the Republican cam

Ohio leaders has led to no little con-
fusion and it is this that Mr.. Will
Jams is trying to straighten out with

Is Doing Good Work.

BY means Of an energetic field
force and capable corps of experts
in the home Office at Washington this
branch of the government is continu-
ally investigating in all parts of the
country such subjects as the relations
of capital and labor, the hours OF la
Dor, the earnings of laboring men and
women, and other similarly fruitful
topics. What is more, this public in
stitution is continually striving to pro-
mote the material, social, intellectual
and moral prosperity of the workers.
Of course these government scouts in
the labor field cannot work in a rut
Indeed the force is so mobile and the
individual workers so versatile that
when serious dispute arises between
employers and employees or there is a
controversy such as that some time
ago regarding conditions in the meat
packing industry all other work at the
bureau can be dropped and all hands
concentrate their attention upon the
causes and facts of the crisis of the
moment.
The late Senator Hoar of Massachu-
sets Is perhaps entitled to be con-
.sidered the father of the movement TO
have Uncle Sam Systematically aid
the cause of labor. 1t was in 1871 that
Mr.. Hoar, then member of the Unit
ed States house of representatives, in
troduced a bill providing for the ap-
pointment of a commission to study
the subject of wages and hours of
labor and the division of profits be-
tween labor and capital in the United
States. The bill did not pass but the
ball had been started rolling and final
iy after much agitation congress in
1884 made provision for a bureau of
labor as part of the interior depart
ment. When the department of COM
merce and labor was organized in 1903
the bureau of labor was taken under
its wing as one of it's principal
branches.

Has Wide Scope.

Thirdly this bureau of labor infor-
nation reviews eXhaustively for the
benefit of its millions of American eli
ents the labor and statistical docu-
ments of all foreign countries and
when anything is discovered that has
a bearing on labor interests in Yam
keedom it is promptly brought to the
attention of the people concerned.
Fourthly, the bureau fulfills it's func-
tion as public servitor by publishing
and sending broadcast all new laws
that are passed affecting the interests
of the working people. No matter
whether law be passed by the nation
al congress or by the legislature in
some one of our two score states it
is no sooner on the statute books than
the labor bureau sends the tidings to
the toilers who will be affected. Final
ly there is a similar system for the
distribution of news relative to court
decisions interpreting labor laws or
other happenings affecting the rela-
tions of employer and employe.
Most interesting and most important

labor are the special Investigations
conducted by its own experts. These
naye covered very wide range of
subjects. 1t is, of course. impossible
to enumerate them at length but just
to convey an idea of the fields that
have been explored there may be cit
ed such subjects as industrial commu-
mites at home and abroad; co-opera-
tive distribution; railway relief de-
partments; the padrone system; con-
ditions of negro workers; building and
loan associations; the inspection of
factories and workshops; the trade
union label; protection of workingmen
in their employment; child labor in the
United States: wages and cost of liv-
ing, etc.

Greater Equity

THE eight-hour day is the greatest
i achievement Of unionism, but the
original intention was not that men
should make overtime, but that more
men should be employed
In the making of contracts for con-
struction work on buildings, etc, en-
ployers figuring on the cost of labor
usually consider the wage question as
the most important. The strong unions
numerically generally succeed in OBJ
tanning about as high wages as they
demand. This does not leave a large
amount of money to be distributed in
wages by the sub-contractors on the
job, who have to figure pretty closely
in order to come out ahead financially.
The result is that the smaller and
weaker unions cannot obtain as high
wages as their fellow-workers in the
larger unions, who were provided for
first.
In my opinion, one of the most i'm
portant things to be accomplished by
the labor unions is to establish a more
equitable distribution of wages to all
workmen employed on contract work,
with due consideration to the contrac-
tor.-Jeremiah ]. Donovan, President
Boston Building Trades Council.

Trade Agreement

THE greatest thing accomplished by
trade and labor unions since the
first Labor day, in my opinion, is the
settled conviction that the toilers of
our country can best conserve their in
dustrial interests by the application
of we'll regulated trade uHionism.
The great trade associations of our
country have been to the commerce of
North America, through the applica-
tion of the trade agreement with it's
pacific purposes, what the Declaration
of Independence was to the body poll
tic In these United States. 1t also pro-
vides for the logical settlement by
conference or arbitration of disputes
which heretofore were only settled by
the cold-blooded logic of force The
discipline and effectiveness of trade
unionism, and, as result, the opera
tion of the collective bargain or trade
agreement. Is the greatest thing ac-
complished by trade associations since
the first Labor day.
What is the next step for the unions?
The next step for those who have not
already taken 1t Is to make thorough
preparation and arrangement for the
full introduction of the eight-hour
work-day in all industrial and agricul-
tural pursuits. Given more leisure
from the drudgery of toll, the working
man or woman will seek and secure
opportunity for the mental betterment
which will make them happier men
and women, better citizens more
clever, prompt and alert producers; it
will cause them to look for better con-
ditions of life o'l of which are emo
bling and vii end to the supremacy
of the nation /hich gives the best op-
portunities along this line.-James
Duncan, ecretary-Treasurer of the

Washington, ID. c. - Union la

have been formulated by officers of
the American Federation of Labor to

Bryan were subject matters of
series of conferences Wednesday
night between National Chairman
Norman f. Mack and Samuel Com

Chairman Mack announced before
his departure for New York at mid

would announce the chairmen of the
various labor bureaus which will be
established in several of the larger
cities and conducted under the gen.
eral direction of the national commit
tee and the American Federation of
Labor.
The Democratic national commit
tee will receive the cooperation of
the American Federation of Labor in
every way said Mr.. Mack, "and Mr..
Gompers submitted to me the plans
which have been formulated to effect
an active campaign in the labor world
in the interest of Democracy. These
plans | regard as highly satisfactory
and they will be adopted The plans
provide for the establishment of labor
bureaus in several labor centers, with
a central labor bureau IN Chicago at
the Democratic headquarters. The
national committee will appoint only
members of the American Federation
of Labor as heads of these bureaus
and Mr.. Gompers has given me list
of names of those who would be re-
garded as acceptable to the fedora.
