Excerpt from Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information of Maryland: 1903 The Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information represents the work of the fourth year by the present incumbent. As to whether or not this and the three preceding years have been properly utilized by the Bureau, I must, of course, leave to the public, but from our numerous letters of commendation, and the favorable comment from time to time by the public press and people, I am justified in saying that much good work has been accomplished, and that a fair start has been made in the effort to make the Bureau of Statistics and Information a useful adjunct to the State Government. In the pages that follow will be found recommendations in reference to the present Statutes now on the law books of the State, passed by the Legislature with a view to ameliorating the condition of those who toil. The successful beginning of the work of the Free Employment Agency, and the carrying out of the provisions of the Factory Inspection Act, so well begun in 1902, is fully set forth in the pages that follow, and if properly sustained by the Court of Appeals, in the case now pending, and continued in the same spirit by this department, there is no doubt of the great value it will prove to the working people of the State, and the manufacturing and business men at large. The standard of clothing manufactured in Baltimore has already been raised to a very considerable extent, and the entire elimination of the evils complained of in sweat shops and factories may be brought about if the work is continued.
