Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of Connecticut: For the Year Ending November 30, 1894 Theprincipal Object of the Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is to impart practical knowledge on practical subjects that are being discussed by the citizens of Connecticut. One of the most important functions of a State department which has the range of topics granted to this Bureau is the consideration of pertinent questions which are liable to become subjects of legislation and upon which legislators desire information. The Act under which the Bureau is formed has its limitations - Q - it might well be amended so as to enlarge the plan and scope of the department, but even under its present fundamental law investigations of such a nature as we have outlined and of the character Which appear in the following pages, seem to be fully warranted. All of the subjects considered bear directly upon the daily life and well being of the great mass of working people of the State, and thus the'bureau has been enabled to aspire to the accomplishment of several purposes. It endeavors to furnish food for thought by the toilers in the various forms of manual industry and material for consideration by those who desire the advance of their fellows, as well as lawmakers who represent the people and have the interest of the State and its citizens at heart.

Excerpt from Eleventh Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the State of Connecticut: For the Year Ending November 30, 1895 Having early in the history of American productive industry become the seat of extensive factories, and having thus acquired a large operative population, both native and foreign, Connecticut some ten years ago discerned that the condition of this class was deserving of public attention, not only upon humanitarian grounds, but in the interest of the permanent good of the State itself. With characteristic intelligence and system, a Bureau of Labor Statistics was established, which has steadily progressed with its assigned work - investigating and exposing the needs of her working population. This year witnesses the publication of its eleventh annual report. The field of inquiry covered by this Bureau, has embraced all subjects relating to the condition of labor communities as they actually exist in the State - wages.
