President Roosevelt tells Representative Crumpacker that he is very interested in the bill on the investigation of the condition of woman and child labor and feels that the only bureau suited to conduct such an investigation is that of the Bureau of Labor. The Census Bureau is not the proper body to do the work because Roosevelt hopes to aim at more than the simple collection of statistics. He endorses Commissioner of Labor Charles Patrick Neill as the man to head the proposed investigation.
