Labor Problem Growing
Activities of the state department of
labor and the rehabilitation commits
sion for the fiscal year ending June 80
last are outlined in the annual report
of those agencies submitted to Cover
nor Silzer by DR.. Andrew F. Mcbride
as. commissioner of labor and director
of the rehabilitation commission.
Accident prevention is cited as one
of the greatest problems and one that
can not be solved by safeguarding ma
chinery and minimizing fire hazards
alone. Cooperation on the part of
every one engaged in industry Is re-
ferred to as one of the essentials nee
essary to cut down the useless toll
of suffering and economic waste due to
accidents.
Upon assuming charge Of his pres
ent work last September, DR.. Nc
Bride says he found many things both
confusing and intricate, but by appli-
cation he began to understand them.
Much time has been spent in co-ordi-
mating the various activities of the
department, and many changes have
been made, due in large part to altered
conditions. Dr. Mcbride states that
he is encouraged to believe that in
reasonably brief time the beneficial
effect of the changes will be manifest
to every one familiar with the work
of the department.
The large industrial increase in New
Jersey yearly adds constantly to the
work, and DIR. Mcbride says vigilance
and alertness is necessary at all times
to safeguard alike the right Of the
employer and employee.
''It has BEEN" said Dr. Mcbride,
''my endeavor since assuming the d.
rection of the department to safe
guard the health, limb and life OF
those employed in the industries I'M
der our care, bearing in mind at all
times not to overburden industry with
unnecessary expenditure for this pur-
pose.
ITO make this work more effective
and at the same time more economical,
the department is now working on
plans for the re-districting of the en-
tire state into new and compact fac
tory inspection districts"
Commended for Cooperation
Factory owners and manufacturers
by DR.. Mcbride for cooperating in the
enforcement of the factory laws. Al
though 4,206 orders were issued during
the year, more than this number were
complied with and cancelled.
1.-THE fact that there have been 152
new industrial buildings constructed
during the year" continues the COM
missioner, ''the department having APP
proved plans for alterations, additions
and changes involving an expenditure
of more than 100000, indicates that
industries in this state are contemplate
ing good business in the future"
DR.. Mcbride refers to the difficult
problems incident to the manufacture
of fireworks and urges enactment of
an adequate law controlling their
manufacture and transportation. The
department has Jurisdiction over more
than 100000 pounds of high explo-
sives and more than 65,000,000 blast
ing caps and torpedos, all of which are
licensed in strict accordance with the
explosives law of the state.
Child Labor Law Work
The volume of work in connection
with the careful enforcement of the
child labor law, which DIR. Mcbride
says has been the invariable practice
of the department, is shown by the
