APPENDIX 3 PUBLICATIONS The United States Employment Service issues but one printed publication,' the "Industrial Employment Information Bulletin," which appears monthly.' This publication was formerly known as the "Industrial Employment Survey Bulletin " but was changed to the present title with the June, 1922 issue. At the same time the practice of including the publication of employment statistics in this bulletin was discontinued. The announcement printed with the first issue under the new title gives the reason for this step. NOTICE By direction of the Secretary of Labor, the United States Employment Service has discontinued the publication of statistics of employment in the Industrial Employment Information Bulletin, that function being performed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in its monthly Labor Review. The United States Employment Service will continue the publication of the Bulletin, publishing general and specific industrial and employment conditions, the distribution and clearance of labor, and current comment on the employment situation, and show opportunities for employment. July 8, 1922. FRANCIS I. JONES, for This issue also included a statement of purpose and scope the bulletin which clearly outlined the aims of the publication and indicated its future content. The statement follows: 1 1 The annual report is no longer issued separately but is included in the annual report of the Secretary of Labor. Numerous mimeograph or multigraph publications are issued from time to time, such as the news letters and bulletins of the Junior Division. (See p. 55 ante). 2 * Quarto size, no cover or separate title page. Runs from 20 to 30 pages. Issued at Washington. * Industrial Employment Information Bulletin, June, 1922, p. 1. The Industrial Employment Information Bulletin, published monthly by the United States Employment Service of the Department of Labor, renders a service in the form of employment information, analyzed according to industrial groups and geographical divisions. It is a strictly neutral service, inaugurated for the purpose of regularly collecting and distributing current information regarding general and specific industrial employment conditions, the distribution of labor, and the fluctuations in employment throughout the country. The organization necessary for the collection of these data consists of district directors situated in nine geographic divisions of the country, who have selected voluntary agents located in each industrial center. These agents have accepted the responsibility for the collection of information monthly concerning general and specific industrial and employment conditions, the distribution of labor for current comment on the employment situation. These volunteer agents have been appointed special agents. With the aid of these special agents general employment comment is collected by the district directors from authoritative sources, supplemented by intelligent opinion. It is anticipated that the scope of this bulletin will be increased as funds may become available for the purpose and its usefulness demonstrated. As timeliness is its essence, publication is expected within a few days after collection of the information. It is desired to present only such information as may satisfy an industrial want, and in such form as to be of the utmost utility. It must, however, be fully recognized that this publication is merely an initial step in a larger undertaking, and it is presented in the hope that the idea may indicate ways and means of supplying a business barometer not now available, to the end that employment facts may be translated into business policies. FRANCIS I. JONES, The present bulletin has departed in no essential respect from the outline above given. * Ibid. Division of Information, in Department of Commerce and .34 Stat.
