overlapping functions and admins
trative confusion.
It is possible that those who enter
tain this theory fail to understand
the real purpose of the Labor De-
partment, as conceived by the Con-
gress which brought it into being
The act of Congress establishing
the Labor Department was signed by
President Taft on March 4, 1918, his
last day in office. The purpose, in
the language of the act, was to
foster, promote and develop the
welfare of American wage earners,
improve their working conditions
and advance their opportunities for
profitable employment"
No Regulation Intended.
The purpose was not to regulate"
labor.
Until that time there had been a
Department of Commerce and Labor.
This became the Department of
Commerce, relinquishing the Bureau
of immigration, the Childrens Bu-
reau and the Bureau of Labor to the
new Labor Department. The statu-
tory functions of the Commerce
Department are to foster, promote
and develop the foreign and do
mestic commerce - > of the United
States" 1t is expected, in other
words, to- do for business what the
Labor Department does for labor.
Spokesman for labor frequently
criticize the department on the
ground that it does not do enough
for labor, and that is understandable,
whether or not the complaints are
justified. But most of the criticism
of the department these days comes
from those who feel that too much
is being done for labor, that labor
is receiving excessive consideration
from the present administration
This is heard from what might be
called frankly antilabor sources.
From these same sources comes
the suggestion that the War Labor
Board, which during the past two
years has been the real center of
labor controversy, should be taken
into the Labor Department The
proposal usually carries a proviso
that the department at the same
time be given a strong and vigorous
administrator-"some one different
from Miss Perkins"
Perkins Foes Would Be Unhappy.
. If this proposal were carried out
those now offering it would surely
be filled with dismay when they
discovered what they had achieved
No President is likely to name a
Secretary of Labor who is not ac-
ceptable to labor, or who is not re-
garded as an experienced advocate
of labors interests. Gov. Dewey, in
deed, said he would appoint a man
from the ranks of labor" If the
War Labor Board should become
part of the Labor Department the
effect would be to make the Secre-
tary of Labor the head of the board
And industry would then have
something to worry about. 1t would
have real cause to feel that it's in
terests had been placed in the hands
of a regulatory body stacked in ad-
vance against it.
The present situation, in which the
public members of the board cast the
deciding vote when. as continually
happens, the industry and labor
members fail to agree, should be
much more to industry's liking
= Argument might be made for in
cooperating the National Labor Re-
lations Board into the Labor De-
partment, since its function, that
of protecting labors right of collec-
tive bargaining, is directly in line
