Children's Bureau.

(Department of Commerce and Labor.)

CHIEF of Bureau-Miss Julia C. Lathrop, Washington, D. C. ($5,000).

The Sixty-second Congress of the United States. Second Session, passed "An act to establish in the Department of Commerce and Labor a bureau to be known as the Children's Bureau." Sec. 2. That the said bureau shall be under the direction of a chief, to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and who shall receive an annual compensation of five thousand dollars. The said bureau shall investigate and report to sald department upon all matters pertaining to the welfare of children and child life among all classes of our people, and shall especially investigate the questions of Infant mortality, the birth rate, orphanage, juvenile courts, desertion, dangerous occupations, accidents and diseases of children, employment, legislation affecting children in the several States and Territories. But no official, or agent, or representative of sald bureau shall, over the objection of the head of the family, enter any house used exclusively as a family residence. The chief of said bureau may from time to time publish the results of these investigations in such manner and to such extent as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor.

Approved, April 9, 1912.

The above bill as drawn and recommended for passage by the Committee on Education and Labor confines the operation of the bureau primarily to the question of investigation and of reporting the same, the design and purpose being to furnish information in this general way for all parts of the country to the respective States to enable them to deal more intelligently and more systematically and uniformly with the subject. The bill is not designed to encroach upon the rights nor relieve the States from the duty of dealing with this subject, but to furnish information to enable them to more successfully deal with it. It was the opinion of the committee that the duty devolves primarily upon the States to legislate upon this important subject and the States can more effectively deal with it. But it seemed to the committee that there was a duty upon the part of the National Government to aid in getting information and data with a view of assisting in this work and that the National Gov ernment could get such information and data more effectively than the respective States.

The National Civic Federation.

OFFICE, 1 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK.

AN organization of prominent representatives of capital, labor, and the general public formed as the direct outgrowth of conventions held in Chicago and New York in 1900-1901. Its purpose is to organize the best brains of the nation in an educational movement toward the solution of some of the great problems related to social and industrial progress; to provide for study and discussion of questions of national import; to aid thus in the crystallization of the most enlightened public opinion; and when desirable, to promote legislation in accordance therewith. At the present time the work of the federation is carried on through the following agencies:

(1) The Industrial Concillation Department dealing entirely with strikes, lockouts and trade agreements. Its membership includes representatives of the general public and the leading organizations of employers and wage-earners. The services of this department have been enlisted In more than five hundred cases involving every phase of industrial controversy.

(2) The Industrial Economics Department organized to promote discussion and to aid in the solution of practical economic and social problems such as "Wages, and the Cost of Living," "The Injunction," "Opened and Closed Shop," "Restriction of Output," "Compulsory Arbitration," "Initiative and Referendum," "The Income Tax," "The Trusts,' etc.

(3) Employers' Welfare Department, composed of employers of labor in stores, factorles, mines and on railroads, and officials who have to do with the working conditions of public employés, chairmen of boards of health, heads of departments of public safety, leading physicians connected with public hospitals, heads of charity boards and others. It is devoted to securing improvements in the working and living conditions of the employé by the employer.

(4) The Woman's Welfare Department, composed largely of women who are themselves stockholders or who through family relationships are financially interested in industrial organizations. The object of this department is to use its Influence in securing needed improvements in the working and living conditions of women and men wage-earners in the various industries and governmental Institutions, and to co-operate, when practicable, in the general work of the federation.

(5) The Department on Compensation for Industrial Accidents and Their Prevention, composed of employers, representative labor men, attorneys, insurance experts, economists, State omelals, members of State compensation commissions, and others concerned. Its object is: Το Inquire into the need for amending State laws on employers' liability with a view to securing uniform provisions looking toward compensation for industrial accidents; and to look into means of preventing accidents in commercial and manufacturing enterprises.

(6) Wage-Earners' Insurance Department: To promote employers' voluntary relief associations, and to investigate the need for uniform legislation covering such employers' voluntary sick, accident, pension and death benefit associations.

(7) Department on Uniform State Legislation: To promote uniform State legislation in those matters that are interstate; to work for the co-ordination of State with Federal legislation where there now is conflict, and to secure Federal legislation in matters that are purely interstate. Local councils have been organized in thirty-one States in the Union to promote this movement.

(8) Department on Regulation of Combinations and Trusts: Working for co-ordination of Federal and State laws and unification of the latter.

(9) Department on Regulation of Interstate and Municipal Utilities: Is studying this subject In all its phases through expert investigations and will report recommendations, including a skeleton law designed to secure uniformity.

National Association of Manufacturers.

President, John Kirby, Jr.; Secretary, George S. Boudinot: Assistant Secretary, W. M. Benny; Treasurer, Alonzo B. See; General Manager, J.Philip Bird. Headquarters, 30 Church Street, New York. DECLARATION OF LABOR PRINCIPLES.

The National Association of Manufacturers of the United States of America does hereby declare that the following principles shall govern the association in its work in connection with the problems of labor:

1. Fair dealing is the fundamental and basic principle on which relations between employés and employers should rest. 2. The National Association of Manufacturers is not opposed to organizations of labor as such, but it is unalterably opposed to boycotts, blacklists and other illegal acts of interference with the personal liberty of employer or employé.

3. No person should be refused employment or in any way discriminated against on account of membership or non-membership in any labor organization, and there should be no discriminating against or Interference with any employé who is not a member of a labor organization by members of such organizations.

4. With due regard to contracts, it is the right of the employé to leave his employment whenever he sees fit, and it is the right of the employer to discharge any employé when he sees fit.

5. Employers must be free to employ their work people at wages mutually satisfactory, without Interference or dictation on the part of Individuals or organizations not directly parties to such contracts.

6. Employers must be unmolested and unhampered In the management of their business in determining the amount and quality of their product, and in the use of any methods or systems of pay which are just and equitable.

7. In the Interest of employés and employers of the country, no limitation should be placed upon the opportunities of any person to learn any trade to which he or she may be adapted.

8. The National Association of Manufacturers disapproves absolutely of strikes and lockouts, and favors an equitable adjustment of all differences between employers and employés by any amicable method that will preserve the rights of both parties.

9. Employés have the right to contract for their services in a collective capacity, but any contract that contains a stipulation that employment should be denied to men not parties to the contract is an invasion of the constitutional rights of the American workman, is against public policy, and is in violation of the conspiracy laws. This association declares its unalterable antagonism to the closed shop and insists that the doors of no industry be closed against American work men because of their membership or non-membership in any labor organization.

10. The National Association of Manufacturers pledges Itself to oppose any and all legislation not in accord with the foregoing declaration,
