Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Governor of the State of Colorado; Honorable Timothy O"Connor, Secretary of State and Chief Commissioner, and the Honorable Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Seventeenth General Assembly. Sirs:
In accordance with an act of the legislature of March 24, 1887, creating the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I have the honor to present for your consideration the Tenth Biennial Report of the work of this department for the years 1907-1908.
The Commissioner in charge of this bureau for the years 1903 and 1904 issued a report of three hundred pages - two hundred pages of that report being devoted to a rehearsal of the strike that occurred during that period in the various mining districts, and not a page pertaining to the manufacturing, agricultural or other resources that our State offers to the homeseeker and investor. My predecessor in charge of the bureau refrained from issuing a report for the year 1905-1906. Hence, upon assuming charge of the bureau on April 15, 1907, I found no record of any statistics pertaining to our State"s unparalleled prosperity for the years 1905-1906. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that I present this report covering a period of industrial prosperity unequaled by any State in the Union. While the last two months of 1907 and the first two months of 1908 witnessed the closing down of many enterprises - notably the construction of large power and storage plants, which usually secure financial backing from Eastern States - the evidence of this financial disturbance had, with the beginning of summer, entirely disappeared, and the army of temporary unemployed was again summoned to penetrate into the undeveloped resources of our State. The revived industrial activity and the demand for labor of all classes, coupled with good prices and high wages for all seeking employment, has placed Colorado far in advance of her sister States as a field for the homeseeker and investor.
