Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information of Maryland, 1912 Sir: In presenting to Your Excellency the Twenty-first Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information, I feel that my first sense of duty is to apologize for the lateness of the same, but as you have kept in touch with the affairs of the Bureau I will dwell but briefly on the causes of delay, the first of which was occasioned by a change of administration and naturally a complete change of system. Although this report is long past its due date, we will treat with transactions up to December 31, 1912, only, except where noted and impracticable. Immediately on assuming charge of the Bureau it was my pleasure (and the State's good fortune) to appoint Miss Anna Herkner, Assistant Chief. In this first official act I might well refer to the old adage, Well begun is half done, for it has been most emphatically proven that no mistake was made in this most important appointment, as those who have followed the Bureaus work for the past few months will testify. The work assigned to this Bureau is both general and specific. The duties, in general terms, are the collecting of industrial statistics and the summing up of the annual reports of State offices and State institutions. The specific duties of the Bureau are the maintenance of a free employment agency, the arbitration of labor disputes and the enforcement of the Factory Inspection and Child Labor Laws.

Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information of Maryland, 1905 In connection with the question of child labor, we beg to recommend to the Legislature of Maryland that a thorough knowledge of the conditions of employment of children, their ages, literacy, physical condition and environment should be known. This can only be secured by a thorough inspection of all factories and workshops in the State, and a sufficient force of inspectors should be provided for this work. We therefore heartily recommend that an amendment to the Law creating this Bureau, or a separate Act, be passed by the Legislature, authorizing such inspection and providing the money therefor.

Excerpt from Sixteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information of Maryland, 1907 In submitting the Sixteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Statistics and Information of Maryland, and the fourth during my administration of the office, I feel a pardonable pride in the results as shown herein. While my predecessor in office undoubtedly broke the ground for much of the good work accomplished by the Bureau, I feel that during the last four years the State has more than been recompensed for its outlay of money by the splendid results accomplished by the work of the Department. This applies not only to the enforcement of the new laws, but to the perfecting of the system in the office. Of course, I well understand that there may be criticisms of the methods of the Department and the manner of performing its work, but I also feel that these criticisms arise more often from lack of knowledge of what has been accomplished and the failure of those who criticise to make inquiries into and understand the work that has been performed by those employed by the State in the performance of their duties. At all times we have courted inspection of our work, and welcome the suggestions and criticisms of those interested in the Department, but realizing that my duties not only call upon me for the enforcement of the laws, but also recognition of the fact that the intent of the Legislature was, and is, as far as possible, not to disturb the existing business conditions, which might nullify the efforts of our merchants and manufacturers in competing with those States where progressive laws were not enforced, and whose employers and employes were left absolutely free to do as they pleased, irrespective of the effect upon the community or its future citizenship. This is particularly so with reference to the enforcement of Chapter 192, Acts of 1906, known as the Child-Labor Law.
