T his list supplements the 1940 edition (B ulletin N o. 683) o f the

June 1942 it has been issued by the Office o f the Secretary o f Labor.
The 1940 edition o f the Selected L ist o f the Publications o f the B u

reports o f the Bureau recent enough to be o f value, as w ell as to those
which seemed to be o f current general interest at the tim e o f prepara
tion o f the list. The present supplement includes all bulletins and the
more im portant articles in the M onthly Labor Review published from
October 1940 to July 1943, w ith the exception that in the case o f reports
in a continuing series on the same subject only the m ost recent study is
noted. References to the Labor Inform ation B ulletin cover the num
bers from October 1940 to June 1943.
Because o f the increased interest in labor and economic developments
in foreign countries, the more im portant articles on foreign conditions
published in the M onthly Labor Review and the Labor Inform ation
Bulletin during the period covered by this list have been brought to
gether in part I I , by country. A ll references in part I apply to the
U nited States.

bor Review are indicated by the letters M . L . R . M any o f the articles

bulletin or pam phlet containing the reprinted article is shown in the
reference.

Distribution of Publications
A s a wartime economy, it has been necessary fo r the Bureau to lim it
free distribution o f its publications to those who require them fo r
official governm ental use, or fo r some essential civilian activity related
to the war effort. Persons requesting publications fo r either o f these
purposes should state their specific need for them.
Regular distribution o f the M onthly. Labor Review is on a sub
scription basis, the subscriptions being handled by the Superintendent
o f Documents. The price is $3.50 per year in the U nited States,
Canada, and M exico, and in other countries, $4.75; single copies are
30 cents. Prices o f the printed bulletins, on sale by the Superintendent
o f Docum ents, vary from 5 cents upward.

P rinting Office, W ashington, D . C . Paym ent must be made in ad
vance, either by the coupons sold by the Superintendent in sets o f
20 for $1 and good until used, or by check or money order payable to
him . Currency m ay be sent at sender’s risk. Postage stam ps are not
acceptable.
Announcements o f the issuance o f all printed reports o f the Bureau,
or o f reports on particular subjects only, w ill be sent to persons who
ask that their names be placed on the appropriate m ailing lists to
receive them. The reports are grouped under the follow in g m ajor

W holesale prices.
A s the demand fo r the Bureau’s publications frequently exceeds the
supply, persons who have publications o f the Bureau fo r which they
have no further use are requested to n otify the Bureau so that franked
m ailing labels (requiring no postage) m ay be forw arded fo r the re
turn o f the publications. One frank is required fo r each package

Labor Statistics (General)
Handbook of labor statistics, 1941 edition: Volume I, All topics except wages;
Volume II, Wages and wage regulation. Bull. 694. Vol. I, $1; Vol. II, 45
cents.
This is the fifth Handbook of Labor Statistics to be published by the Bureau o f
Labor Statistics. The first, issued in 1927 as Bulletin 439, brought together in
summary form such of the earlier published material of the Bureau as seemed to be
of permanent value. The 1929, 1931, 1936, and 1941 editions (Bulls. 491, 541, 616,
694) present similar summarizations for the intervening intervals. The material
contained in these volumes represents in large part the original work of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, but this is not entirely the case, as the Bureau avoids making
original studies in fields of labor interest which are already adequately covered by
other official agencies. Digests of some of the published reports of these other
agencies, therefore, as well as of certain responsible private bodies, were included
to give a well-rounded picture of labor and related conditions.
