in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Commissioner of Labor Statistics must study how customs laws and currency conditions affect agriculture, especially farm mortgage debt, and must report every two years on the condition of major industries. The Commissioner must also investigate labor disputes and gather information from foreign countries, including on convict-made imports.

It is the Commissioner of Labor Statistics's duty to find out how customs laws, and the state of the currency, affect farming in the United States — especially how they affect farmers' mortgage debt. The Commissioner must also set up a reporting system so that, at least every two years, the Commissioner can report on how production is going in the country's leading industries. The Commissioner is specifically directed to investigate the causes and facts behind every dispute or controversy between employers and employees that might interfere with the welfare of people in different states. The Commissioner must also gather whatever information seems useful from foreign countries on the subjects assigned to the Commissioner, including whether, and from where, convict-made goods are imported into this country.

He shall also establish a system of reports by which, at intervals of not less than two years, he can report the general condition, so far as production is concerned, of the leading industries of the country. He is also specially charged to investigate the causes of, and facts relating to, all controversies and disputes between employers and employees as they may occur, and which may tend to interfere with the welfare of the people of the different States. He shall also obtain such information upon the various subjects committed to him as he may deem desirable from different foreign nations, and what, if any, convict-made goods are imported into this country, and if so from whence.
