The Department of Good Intentions

Someday, they'll rename the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor They'll stop calling it a Labor
Department and start calling it by its right
name-the Department of Good Intentions
What's happening at the Department is
what happens to so many other good inten-
tions. But, don't take it from us. Just for a
minute read this brief report on the Depart
ment of Labor submitted by the Resolutions
Committee and unanimously adopted by the
73rd AFL convention at Los Angeles. Here
is what the Committee reported:
"Your Committee has . noted the factual
record of the Departments progressive de-
terioration and increasing ineffectiveness.
cat bottom this deterioration arises from
budgetary anemia caused by persistent eff
forts of Congress to pare down the operating
funds of the one Department authorized by
law to foster and promote the well-being
of Americas wage earners. In the words of
the Executive Council, the Department of
Labor is truly a 'stepchild Of the Government
"Concretely during the last two years the
operating funds Of the Department have
moved in but one direction: Downward. But
the number of American Workers-both en-
ployed and unemployed-has steadily moved
up.
Nevertheless, the flow of funds has been
slowed down to such degree that neither
plans for reorganization nor cynical claims
OF increased efficiency can overcome an in

Der cut deeply into the industrial en-
ployment estimates for that month,

summary issued by the unemploy-

A decline of 9,400 from the Au-
gust figures is shown as of September
Is, while still more emphatic decline
of 1890 from September 15, 1853
is indicated.
Total non-farm employment in the
state is estimated at 149, 200 by the
commission, which co-operates with
the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics in compiling the figures. In
August the similar total was 1853, 900,
and in September a year ago it was
at the all-time peak of 161, 500.
Detailed estimates by major indus
tries show a September to September
decline in the smelling industry, 5000
to 1000, while in metal mining it
was 1900 to 1000. Other industrial
employment losses over the twelve /
months included 2,100 in transporta-
ton and utilities, and lesser declines
in wholesale and retail trades, lum-
bering and logging, and service in
dustries. To some extent these losses
are a result of the stalemate in metal
mining and processing.
MORE JOBS IN CONSTRUCTION
Contract construction employed
more workers in September than it
did year. ago, rejecting the extern

an aluminium plant at Columbia Falls,
