Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics of Maryland The Sixth Annual Report of this Bureau will be found to contain a variety of subjects, vitally affecting the industrial' condition of the State of Maryland and the City of Balti more. I here desire to direct the attention of the Legisla ture to the defects existing in the law under which this Bureau is operating. They are an absolute insufficiency of the appropriation and the lack of authority With which to compel the divulging of such information as this Bureau is directed to publish. Experience has taught that if such departments of government are to accomplish satisfactory results, they should not be fettered in their performance. My predecessors in office frequently pointed out these needs, and my experience but emphasizes the correctness of their com plaint. I most heartily recommend that such changes be made to the law governing this Bureau, as have been found necessary for the collection of reliable statistical data bearing upon the subjects, for the collection of which it was created.

Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics of Maryland It is with a full knowledge of the responsibility attaching to the proper performance of my duties that I have undertaken the work of this office. I have not lightly, nor without a due conception of the importance Of such a work in all of its bear ings, entered upon any part of it. Fully persuaded that such an office as this can and should be made a most important adjunct to the State government, I shall faithfully endeavor during my administration of it to place it upon such a basis that there may be assured to the people of the State the valuable results which it is their right to expect and my duty to give them. Every public office is created for the people who support it; not to benefit the individual who may be selected to administer it. I shall know no other line of conduct than to adhere Strictly to this policy, and'if thus, happily, I merit the public confidence, the future usefulness of the office may with reasonable certainty be assured. If the central idea, steadily kept in View, is the subordination of all to the common welfare, the consequent attainment of the greatest possible good on the lines marked out is inevitable. He who adepts this as the guiding principle in the execution of any duty has learned well his first lesson and has gone far toward the accomplishment of the ends desired.

Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics of Maryland: 1901, Thomas a Smith, Chief The Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Industrial Statistics herein presented will compare favorably with its predecessors. Its presentation of the industrial, agricultural and mechanical conditions of the State in tabular form gives evidence in figures that the people of Maryland have progressed along profitable lines, as well as conservative ones. An analysis of the pages, or even a casual reading, by our Legislators, ought to give sufficient reasons for the enactment into law of the several recommendations made by the Bureau, and it is with this hope that especial attention is called to the needs of the Bureau for financial aid, so that it may enlarge its scope and fill the field of its endeavors with continued and extended beneficial results. The Bureau can be made of great benefit to employer and employe by the adoption of proper legislation, thus, in a conservative way, avoiding industrial troubles. All efforts in the industrial field now tend toward conciliation and arbitration, and Maryland should be in the front rank with the leading States of the union in enacting legislation of this character. It is gratifying to the Bureau to note that the record of strikes in Maryland indicate that they, both in number and cost, have been much less in 1901 than in 1900. This, however, is 110 evidence that wages has increased or that industrial conditions are any better. A close perusal of the report will satisfy the most skeptical reader that with the increased combinations of capital, the advancement in the use of improved machinery and the consequent economy in production, the mechanic and ordinary skilled workman must inevitably suffer temporarily, just as the small merchant and the middle-man will suffer temporarily in the onward rush of wealth production. It simply means the displacement of labor, and men must have patience until a readjustment of conditions shall have taken place. The report contains several interesting tables about the earnings of the ordinary mechanic and the cost of living, which will be of interest to all classes. The report on employment agencies in Baltimore City, and on the free employment agencies throughout the country ought to be convincing in their way as to the need of a free employment agency in this State, as recommended. Probably 110 part of the report will be read with greater interest or satisfaction than that referring to the agricultural interests of the State, wherein it is shown great progress has been made and satisfactory returns have been the result to our farmers.
