As pointed out in the previous issue of this list of labor offices, the steadily broadening concept of labor makes it extremely difficult to attach the word “ labor” to particular laws, administrative offices, or public activities in general. For instance, the Federal Social Security Act is very generally regarded as labor legislation, but it covers not only unemployment insurance and old-age annuities but also assistance to the blind and to crippled children. Again, the concern of the Prison Industries Reorganization Administration is the problem of prison industries, but this involves as one of its essentials the problem of prison labor. For these reasons a list of Federal and State offices concerned with the administration and enforcement of laws in any way relating to or affecting labor would be extremely voluminous. The present bul letin is much more modest in its scope. For the Federal Government it includes some offices where labor functions are incidental, but im portant; for the States and Provinces it seeks to present merely a list of those offices and agencies which are primarily and immediately concerned with labor and labor problems, such agencies, for instance, as departments and bureaus of labor, employment offices, unemploy ment and accident compensation commissions, minimum-wage boards, factory-inspection services, and arbitration and conciliation boards. Within these limitations, the list as given is as complete and accurate as it has been possible for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to make it. The material regarding each agency was submitted to the appro priate authority prior to publication, and in practically all cases satisfactory replies were received. The Bureau, however, will be very glad to be informed of any errors, as also of any changes or additions, for incorporation in later editions of this bulletin. 1 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis List of Offices in the United States FEDERAL Department of Labor: Hon.
