fOJr9DATION

and is in charge Of Mr.. Terence V. Pow
derby, formerly one Of the most prominent
leaders Of union labor in America. II -
the function Of this new bureau to inquire
TO the facts regarding the reported de-
nland for labor in all parts of the country.
The primary object is, of course, 10 direct
the incoming tide OF foreign labor to
those fields where 1t is most needed and
away from those sections where there Ia
already a surplus of help. To that end
the division of information continually
carries on correspondence with respon-
sible officers in every state in the Union
concerning the need for labor and the
opportunities for employment In each
state Whereas one of the functions OF
the division Is as outlined, to help Tor
eigners who are desirous of becoming
American citizens. 1t Is also fact that
all the data on hand at this institution
is also at the disposal OF any American
workingman who desires to make q
change of location. and the officers OF
the division are always ready TO give
advice tn persons seeking more proht-
allie fields of employment.
Yet another direction in which the
United States government is looking out
for labor interests is with reference to
national Legislation on subjects In TINS
sphere With view TO keeping in touch
with labor and ascertaining the wishes
of the organized artisans numerous I'M
portance conferences have been held at
the White House during the past few
years in which President Roosevelt and
his successor. President Taft met by APP
pcintment all the most conspicuous lead
ers of organized labor. This new spirit
OF friendly conference between labor.
capitalistic and governmental interests
has also been expressed in other con
ferences. Among these are the meetings
Of the National Civic Federation In which
many government officials are vitally in
terested and the activities OF the In
dustrial Peace Foundation which Presi-
dent Roosevelt founded. using as nu-
cleEs of an endowment fund the *p.Nss
Nobel peace prize which he received
while in the White House. Finally there
was recently held in Washington the first
American labor parliament. at which all
the leaders of union labor met with the
most prominent government officials Tor
an interchange Of ideas.
X
Aside from all these activities. which
are perhaps in sense theoretical. the
United States government is looking out
theoretically for the material welfare
of the toiIers on it's own payroll. A
conspicuous illustration is found in the
enforcement of the eight hour day on
government work: the protection AFFORDED
employees by the new employees liability
act etc Moreover. Uncle Sam is pur-
suing a broad progressive policy in pro-
viding for the physical well being Of his
employes, as witness the recent pro-
vision at government expense OF a spien-
did emergency room or first aid hospi-
fron nf a n
iured employees Of the United States gov
ernment printing Office. Uncle Sans big
gest industrial plant and the largest
printing office in the world.
