ited States Bureau o f Labor Statistics A Selected List o f the Publications o f the Bureau o f Labor Statistics: 1938 Edition As in the previous editions of this list, the references given have been selected with the view of citing only the publications of the Bureau of Labor Statistics which seem to be of general present-day interest. Also, as a rule, only the most recent publications are noted in those cases where, over the period of its existence, the Bureau has issued several reports on the same subject. References to articles in the Monthly Labor Review are indicated by the letters “ M. L. R .,” and when articles have been reprinted this is shown by the letter “ R .” followed by the number of the pam phlet ; reprints made before the numbered series began are designated by the words “ unnumbered reprint.” References to both the Monthly Labor Review and the Labor Information Bulletin cover the issues down to and including September 1938. The Bureau has a limited number of its bulletins for distribution, and as long as the supply lasts they are furnished free upon request. This also applies to the Labor Information Bulletin and to single copies of the Monthly Labor Review. Regular distribution of the Review, however, is on a subscription basis, the subscriptions being handled by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Many of the articles in the Monthly Labor Review have been reprinted as separate pamphlets in order to make the material available in more convenient form. For the same reason, individual chapters of some of the bulletins have likewise been reprinted. These pamphlets are furnished free by the Bureau, upon request. Although some of the publications noted in this list are not now available for free distribution, most of them can be purchased at a nominal charge from the Superintendent of Documents, or con sulted in local libraries which are depositories for publications of the Federal Government. A complete list of all bulletins and special reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and of the other bureaus and divisions of the Department of Labor, is given in a pamphlet issued at frequent intervals by the Department. A detailed index to the articles in the Monthly Labor Review is published for each volume (6 numbers); an index to the articles in the Labor Information Bulletin is carried in the issue for December of each year. 1 2 PUBLICATIONS OF BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS Child Labor and Child Welfare Trend of child labor, 1927-36.

This is the fourth Handbook of Labor Statistics to be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The first, issued in 1927 as Bull. 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, and 1936 editions (Bulls. 491, 541, 616) 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, have been included to give a well-rounded picture of labor and related conditions. What are labor statistics for? Bull. 599, 1933. Labor T u rn -O v e r Monthly labor turn-over rates for a number of manufacturing industries are published in each issue of the Monthly Labor Review.
