 "A labor-mob tide was upon us and Burns stemmed it. We are now on the threshold of a tariff war, na- tional election and an inter-political vative-progressive political bat tie. Had William J. Burns not for seen this condition and delivered the hell to pay. I make this statement also, direct to the manufactures.
 "I say,e reward Burns with na- tional gift of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash, which is less than one seventieth of one per cent. of our annual exports.
 Following MT. Gluck's talk con corning Burns he was asked what in his opinion, is the one thing which should be of greatest interest to the New England manufacturer from a Washington, point of view?
 Mr. Gluck said: "It is an issue which was originated and killed by the late Mark Hanna, and one which | am gradually leading up to through the speakers and press of this coun- try. It iS a separate gOvernmenta department of National Industries. The manufacturer has been so pros porous he has deliberately lapsed in- d Washington affairs. There was a time when Hanna was in line for the nomination of president on the Re- publican ticket. The thought came to him for political reasons he would change the name and the object and scope of the then proposed depart ment of Commerce and Industries to that of Commerce and Labor with it's changed and modified object and scope. Like everything else Hanna undertook to do he accomplished this change and caused Mckinley to write into the pages of articles covering this department before it became a law, a Bureau of Manufactures of the Department of Commerce and Labor instead Of Bureau of Labor of the Departmen ent of Commerce and Indus tries, hence we. have cabinet min ister whose hands and feet are tied because on the one hand he repre- sents labor and on the other hand ne represents the manufacturer with now and then a little or great deal to do for one of the other depart ments, take the work of the last cen sus for example.
 Gan the manufactures of Bridge port define the original intent and the present object, and scope of each of the several Governmental depart mentS. If so I will bring a clerk from one. of the departments of Washington and show him Bridge port hardware factory and send him back content with the knowledge that they manufacture ice cream cones. Will the manufacturer of Bridgeport tell me the difference between the trade object of the Pan American Union, the export phase of the Bureau of Manufactures and the proposed Bureau of Foreign Commerce. Is not this a fine manner by which to scat ter instead of to concentrate?
 This nation manufactures more machinery by machinery, than any other three nations combined. We turn out of our factories five billions France and Germany put together. We pay out more in wages than all the rest of the world combined and we are the only civilized nation of the world whose producers or manu facturers, arc not directly and separately represented before the seat of Government.
 Even China will have minister of manufactures. The manufactures must have direct representation. He must be able to boast of tame caS> met minister all his own. I know full well that the government must compile statistics and it is well that it gather special information regard ing industries both here and abroad but the department of Commerce and Labor and the Pan American Un- ion and the Consular department of State must not stop there. Someone whether he be a junior member of the cabinet or not should be vested with the authority to represent the manu- facturer direct.
