Georgia labor bureau bill proposed in house action
A state labor bureau bill is introduced in the Georgia House to create a department of labor under a governor appointed commissioner for a two year term. The commissioner, aided by an assistant, would gather statistics on labor conditions, hours, earnings, education and welfare, and oversee industrial data including mills, factories and output. The measure also covers capital, raw materials, water power, timber lands and incentives to attract investment, with confidential industry reports, and salaries set for the commissioner, assistant and stenographer. It also directs investigations into strikes and lockouts focusing on women and child labor.
