Thinks Nine Departments Enough.

President Taft, in signing the bill Gre
ating the Department of Labor yester-
day. left for Congress memorandum
in which he stated that he believed nine
executive departments are enough to con-
duct the government He said:
II sign this bill with considerable hesi-
tation. not because I dissent from the
purpose of Congress to create a Depart
ment of Labor. but because ] think that
nine departments are enough for the
proper administration of the government
and because ] think that no new depart
lnent ought to be created without a reor-
ganization of all departments in the gov
ernment and redistribution of the bu-
reaus between them.
The distribution of bureaus between the
existing departments is far from being
economical or logical. and if there is one
thing that is needed in the present situa-
ton IL is reorganization of oup govern
ment on business principles. and with a
view To economy in the administration
of the regular governmental machinery.
II forbear, however. to veto this bill.
because my motive in doing SO would be
misunderstood There is provision in
the bill itself for recommendation by
the head OF the new department to
the reorganization of bureaus that may
itself lead TO general reorganization
which is so much TO be desired.

WITHOUT HEAD FOR TIME
Comes Into Being With New Admin

TO OCCUPY PRESENT QUARTERS
Bureaus Connected With New De-
partment Not to Have Separate
Home for Awhile.

Coming into being as il did. auto
maticalIy with the new democratic ad-
ministration. the new Department OF
Labor all the morning. at least, was with
out an executive head, and none of the
officials Of the Department of Commerce,
which had the last part OF its former
name chopped off with the birth of the
labor department, seemed to know the
present status of the new department, ex-
cept that it is now a new department
AS Robert NJ. Pindell. jr., put 1t this
morning, the bureaus which have been
taken from the old Department of Com
merce and Labor to form the new De-
partment sf Labor are regarded purely
as guests of the Department of Com
mcrce.
Mr.. Pindell declared that he and others
i'm the department were studying the case
from every angle. So far as he knew this
morning he said no provision had been
made for the payment of the salary of
the Secretary and his staff. While it is
possible he went on. that some provision,
was made during the rush hours of the
closing of the last session of Congress
for the payment of these salaries and the
establishment of new offices for this staff,
he declared he had not Yet been able to
lind it. He said he had some one out this
morning looking for copy of the law as
ena cted, and also was looking into the
question of appropriations.
IL was stated at the House appro-
priation committees offices today that
there We're not in any of the bills passed
by the last Congress any appropriations
for salaries or other things for the new
department. While il is, of course. un-
doubted that bill providing appropria-
tions for the department will be passed
at the special session of Congress, in the
meantime the new Secretary will be
without salary as probably will be his
executive staff. if he appoints any.

Labor, could not be located this morning.

New Law Not Available.

At the Senate and House document.
rooms today copies of the law creating
the new department were not available,
and ii was declared there that none could
be obtained for two or three days. OF
course. the various officials concerned
with the division of the old Department of
Commerce and Labor, may use the slower
method OF using the Congressional Record
to obtain the facts concerning the pro-
visions in the bill.
The creation of the Department of
Labor is, temporarily at least, holding
up number of immigration cases In
der the law the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor himself was, and the new
Secretary of Labor will be. required to
sign immigration papers personally.
IL is presumed. of course, that the heads
Of the new bureaus will continue with
their work as though nothing had hap
pened, until the new secretary takes
charge and gives his orders.
As to the housing of the new depart
ment the law itself provides that the
bureaus shall occupy the buildings where
they are now located until other quarters
are provided 1t is possible that the
secretary and his staff will be given
places for the time being in one Of these
bureaus. all of which occupy rented
quarters.
The four bureaus which are taken from
the old Department of Commerce ana
Labor to form the new department are
scattered to various places over the down
town section of the city.
They are the bureau Of immigration
and naturalizato which is divided into
two bureaus in the new department, the
comparatively new children's bureau and
the bureau of labor, which only has an
acting commissioner. because President
Taft. at the expiration OF the term of DR..
charles w Neill. decided to leave the
place for President Wilson to fill. The
;irst bureau is located in the building
with the old Department of Commerce
and Labor, at 513-515 14th street north
west; the second is in the Victor build
ing. on 9th street, and the last named
is in the old District building at 462-464
