Olaaaifiedby the number of
common laborers employed in
1904, Unipn county ranks third.
By common laborers is meant
those who perform the kind - of
work that is not classed with
any of the 15 vocations speci
fied in tke repert of Labor Com
missioner 0 P Hoft
Three counties employ mere
common laborers than Union,
according to the report of Com
missioner Hoff, vis IfuUoeinah
with a total population of 130,-
046 in 1904 employed 2,678
common laborers or 2.66 per
cent of its population ; Clackamas
county with a total population of
20,637 employed 819 common
laborers, being 3.5 per cent of
its population and Union county
with a population of 16,786
j people gave work in 1904 to 69a
J common laborers, being 4.14
per eent or the entire population
i The whole state of Oregon, in
1904, gave work to 18,199 com
mon laborers, the same being
2.81 per eent Of the total popu
lation. The above computations,
which are made up from the
date found in the official report
of the Commissioner of Labor
for Oregon, show that Union
county gives employment to a
per dent of common la
borers than the two counties
mo'tf laborers emtoye6MsLlw
per eent greater than that of the
entire state.
Including the 698 common
laborers there were 3,661 per
sons employed in Union county
in 1904, according to the figures
given by the Commissioner of
Labor. Of this 698 were com
mon laborers, 1,319 were farm-

146 railroad employees, 29

teamsters. A glance through
the tables giving the numbers
employed in the 163 vocations
shoes that thetndastries age so
widely diversified fa Union
oounty that a person skilled m
any vocation can find employ
ment in tibia county, except
those that are not compatible
with our climatic or physical
conditions.
Persona of almost any voca
tion can find an opportunity for
employment in thie oounty
either as k wage ear ner in en
terprises now in operation, or
by inaugurating now industries.
The county is growing in popu
lation and wealth, the soil is
good, there is an abundance of
water power unused, and a hone
ful field opens' to enterprise in
any new, industries along almost
every line of effort.
THE FIRST REPORT
7ue preserver receive? "jw
days ago the First Biennial Re
port of the Bureau of Labor and
Inspector of Factories and work
shops of the state of Oregon from
June 3, 1903, to September 30,
1904.
This document d intended to
assist the Governor in executing
the present laws on labor and to
enable the members of the legis
lature to pass adequate laws on
that subject. It is a modest
pamphlet of 164 pages, but be
ing the first report from that,
Bureau, it is of especial interest
There arc 82 states that have
such bureaus. Pennsylvania
led off in 1872 and Oregon is
the last to fall in line, aud in
1903 it created the bureau that
has sent in its first report. This
report gives the total population
of Oregon for 1904 tt 469,458.
There were last year 86,115 per
sons in the state classed as farm
ers, 13,199 laborers. Union
oounty has 693 laborers credited
to it in the report, which num
ber is larger thin Wat employed
in eaoh of the other 38 counties
in the state hut Clackamas, with
818 and Multnomah with 2,673
laborers. '
There were SS4 bartendersre
ported, 1,019 blacksmiths and
3.591 carpenters in Oregon in
1904.
