Gluck Discusses the
 Bureau of Industries

It was announced last night at the Stratfield, the New England head quarters of John D. Gluck, that James A. Turner, well known in this city, had been appointed special rep resentative of the Bureau of National Industries.
 MT. Turner will in the near future, make a trip to Chicago and later join John D. Gluck at Washington to hep in the matter of preparing the manu- lecturers campaign to prosecute be- fore both the Republican and Demo- cratic National Committees a pro- vision in the declaration of principles for a separate governmental depart ment of National Industries.
 MT. Gluck stated to Farmer re- porter that MT. Turner had represent ed the Bureau in New England as and on account of his ability and natural adaptability to public work, he-Mr. Gluck-had urged that MT. Turner be selected from amongst several names submitted to him from various states. After conference Turner was finally settled upon and has accepted the appointment.
 It appears that Gluck has been carefully laying plans for the past eight years to press this subject. He claims that owing to his political posi-
 
 subject to a successful issue. This year he is politically, so he states, a free lance and in a far better ana stronger position. The Department of National Industries such as he pro- poses would take from the Depart reau of Manufactures. It will also have Bureau of Foreign Commerce, Bureau of twenty-one Latin Ameri- can Republics and Bureau of Amer ican Possessions. The work of spe- cial agents throughout the world der the direction of the Bureau of Manufactures with and by the same staff of government employees. MT. Gluck further stated, the subject needs no further comment from him. TT invite the manufa cturers attention to the original briefs submitted to Mckinley at the Chicago Review club. They show clearly that the original intent of the Department of Com merce & Labor was a Department of Commerce and Industries with a Bu- reau of Labor and not the reverse. change in this country with the big gest pay roll in the world, bigger than the whole world combined. Even if we did have the Department of Com merce & Industries instead of Com merce & Labor. it would not fill the
 
 scheme is after all the best things that could happen"
 MT. Gluck must depend, he says, entirely on contributions from the manufactures to carry through this work. He proposes to direct the work from Washington and to send important and instructive literature from that point to two hundred and fifty manufacturers organizations hav- ing a membership of eight hundred thousand. He submits He will be on hand to meet the contingencies which may arise from any senator or con- gressman. From a political phase he will operate from Chicago and Balti- more. Gluck says now is the time to prosecute this work. He says it is as popular with the Democrats as with the Republicans. Read Sulzer's speech at Syracuse. 'Sulzer is the likely Democratic nominee for. governor of New York state. He is a Democratic congressional leader that generally opposes any Republican move which means more expense to the govern ment. I regard him as distinctly a ment. Gluck regards him as distinctly representative of thelaboring classes He has never been defeated for any national political office
