cabinet. The measure long has been
pressed by organized labor. and now goes
to the Senate.
With the creation of the new depart
ment the Department of Commerce and
Labor would be stripped of much Of its
authority. All the bureaus in that de-
partment dealing with questions affecting
labor or capital would be transferred to
the new department.
The bureau of immigration also would
be placed under the new division. as its
functions are recognized as being espe-
cially close to the labor problem.
The measure was bitterly fought in the
House. those in opposition to 1t declar-
ing that 1t was negative and offered no
real solution of the labor question. 1t
was charged also that the new depart
ment was sought principally to supply
high salaried positions for political IA
