A NEW AND VALUABLE FBATURK TO BB ADDRD TO THIS BRANCH OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT. The bureau of labor statistics, which was established in 1887, is now in charge of Mr. B R Lacy 'who was appointed the first part of March last. '1 he quarters which had until tn been assigned to the bureau were not very inviting and would naturally impress visitors with the idea that the bureau was of little service. Mr. Lacy with the approval of the board of public works had ofll ces fitted up in the Supreme Court .building, opposite the state library, and furnished them as they should have been furnished. A reporter called on the commis sioner a few days ago and found him quite busy with correspondence which had accumulated during his absence. Mr. Lacy, howevever, with his accustomed courtesy, put aside his work and explained to the report ter the purposes of tile office and his own desire to make it one of the most gg.ful branches of th9 state gsvernment. In answer to a question Mr. Lacy said the bureau was established for purpose of enquiring into the needs of the laboring classes and ascertain ing how they might be aided morally, materially and financially. The bureau had not the power (and did not desire it), said he to interfere be tween employer and employed; but was its function to gain as much in formation as possible concerning all matters directly affecting labor and lay it before the general assembly in order that that body may have facts to guide it towards intelligent legisla tioD. Such information is foi . the public also, of course, and is publish - ed annually "How do you obtain this informa tion?" asked the reporter. "I have to rely almost solely on correspondence," replied Mr. Lacy. "The annual appropriation for . the bureau is to small to allow personal visits to the several parts of the state, except the special reasons; and the bureau is dependent upon the voluntary replies to questions mailed to people of various callings through-. ont the state." 'Can you mention any material good that has been accomplished by the bureau?" "I have been too short a time in charge of the office to answer, that question as fully as I would wish, but I can say that an examination and comparison of the several annual re ports tested by the bureau show that many minor evils which have been complained of have disappeared solely by calling public attention to their existenoe. Bach, for instinee, as the praotioe of paying wages in trade, which has been discontinued eotlreiy." "What branch of labor needs most attention?" was asked. "So far as my observation goes do rlog the short time I have been in the office, I should say the condition of the farmers and farm laborers needs careful investigation and thought more than that of any other class of what is known as the labor ingcless, because of the depression whieh ha existed in agricultural affairs tor several years "I hear you intend to establish in connection with the bureau some thing like an intelligence office, can you give me your ideas concerning it?" asked the reporter. "Yes; it occurred to me that there are many people in the state who want work of one kin;? or another, and it also occurred to me that this office might aid in finding employ ment for some of them at least. So I determined to make the bureau a medium through which employers and those seeking work might be brought together. After considering the matter I discovered that the sta te of Ohio had already established something of the kind under the di reef ion of its labor commissioner, and the g?at good which has been ae coni pushed there convinces me that something can be done here, though only n a small scale with the funds available " "What plans have you adopted for putting the scheme in'o execution?" "My plan is simply to place on file any applications for work that may be sent me nd let employers kdow hat those applications for work that maybe sent me and let employers know that these applications are here and that they might be able to ob tain such assistance as they may need by correspondence with the bureau. The applications usually state what kind of work is desired, the kind of work the applicant has been engaged in, and other particulars that em. ployers usually want to know." "What kind of employment do you try to find for applicants?" ' Chiefly that kind known as skilled labor, such as mechanics, teaching, type writing, stenography, book keeping, salesmen, &c. But any one may apply whether skilled or not." "Have you any applications on file?" "Qnite a number, and we receive them every day." ' "Have you secured 'work for any of these applicants?" "Yes; several, and most of them are good places, too." "What does it cost applicants whom you succeed in helping?" "Nothing at all except the postage required for the letters they them selves write." ; "Has anyone written for informa tion concerning applications in your office?" "Yes. I had a letter a few days ago from a gentleman in a distant part of the state enquiring for a teacher for a large school next term." "flow did he know of these appli cations?" "I saw an advertisement by him in one of the state papers and wrote .to him in the interest of a young Iadv He replied that he wanted a male teacher and asked me to procure him one." "If you have no funds to advertise can you accomplish much?" "No;' that is the trouble I will have to rely largely on the well kaown generosity of the preBS to make this feature and its purposes known to the public. A few of the editors send me their papers regular ly, and we always scan their adver tising columns in the interest of ap plicants for work. I cannot expect to do much in this or any other di rection without the aid of the news papers." . The reporter left Mr Laoy's office impressed with the possibilities for good in this new feature, if its pur poses can become generally known to the public, and the Visitor hop'es the press will do what it can to aid Mr Lacy in helping those who in many instances cannot well help themselves TEIKITY COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.
