Excerpt from The Annual Statistics of Manufactures: 1903
To The Honorable Senate and House of Representatives:
I have the honor to present herewith, as required by law, the Annual Statistics of Manufactures for the year 1903.
The present volume is the Eighteenth Report of the series. The first appeared in 1886, and contained comparative statistics for 1885 and 1886, covering the same establishments in both years. The publication was made a Public Document, being numbered 36.
In 1890, the Industrial Chronology became a part of the report on manufactures and so continued until the present year when the Labor and Industrial Chronologies were combined, being presented now in the Annual Report of the Bureau.
By the provisions of Chap. 410 of the Acts of 1904, the Annual Statistics of Manufactures will, in future, form part of the Annual Report of the Bureau instead of being printed as a separate volume.
None of the usual statistical features will be omitted under the new plan, and the Part will contain considerations of subjects, the continued publication of which has supplied opportunities for valuable comparisons. Among them are the following: Establishments and their management; private firms and corporations; partners and stockholders; investment, materials used, and product; labor (persons employed) and its compensation; wages paid; average yearly earnings; classified weekly wages; working time and proportion of business done, and a general summary of industrial conditions, with particular consideration, by industries, of the subject of "industry product," or the value added by the union of labor and capital to the cost of materials used.
