Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of Missouri: For the Year Ending November 5, 1887 Another change from the former law has not yet produced the good results anticipated. We allude to that part of the present law requiring manufacturing and other corporate bodies employing manual labor to make annual reports to this Bureau. This provision has been largely neglected, wilfully probably in some cases, and ignorantly undoubtedly in many cases - the proprietors of the establishments not being aware Of the enactment. To call their attention to the law we have issued circular letters attached to the proper forms for reports and sent these generally throughout the State.
