ECONOMICS AND SOCIOLOGY — WRIGHT. l6l 



Division 6. — Domestic and Foreign Commerce. 



This division, Prof. E. R. Johnson in charge, has pnbHshed a number of 

 works, as follows : 



"The Consular Service of the United States; its history and activities,"' by Chester 



Lloyd Jones, in publications of the University of Pennsylvania, June, 1906. 

 "The organization of ocean commerce," by J. Russell Smith, in the same publications. 



May, 1905. 

 "The American system of improving and administering commercial facilities," by J. 



Bruce Byall (Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 



November, 1904.) 

 "The British system of improving and administering ports and terminal facilities," by 



J. Russell Smith, in the same publication. 

 "Relation of the Government in Germany to the promotion of commerce," by S. Hueb- 



ner. University of Pennsylvania, in same publication. 

 "The development and present status of marine insurance in the United States," by 



same author, in same publication, September, 1905. 

 "Federal supervision and regulation of insurance," by same author, in same publication, 



November. 1905. 

 "Ocean and inland water transportation," by Prof. Emory R. Johnson, in charge of the 



division, published by D. Appleton & Co., June, 1906. 



These works have been aided rather than paid for by grants from the 

 Carnegie Institution. Mr. A. A. Giessecke, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Walter 

 Sheldon Tower, University of Pennsylvania, have done a great deal of work, 

 as has Prof. Raymond McFarland, of Massachusetts, but their work is not 

 ready for publication. 



Division 7. — Money and Banking. 



No publications have as yet been issued by this division, of which Prof. 

 D. R. Dewey is in charge, but a vast deal of work is under way. There has 

 been some difficulty in the prosecution of the work of this particular division 

 on account of the lack of available men willing to take it up on the basis pro- 

 posed by the department in the initiative. New men are being found, how- 

 ever, and the work is progressing, more than double the amount noted in last 

 year's report now being under way. 



Division 8. — Labor Movement. 



Dr. Carroll D. Wright is in charge of this division. An extensive work, 

 subsidized in a measure, by the Department of Economics and Sociology has 

 been brought out under the editorial charge of Jacob H. Hollander, entitled 

 "Studies in American trade unionism." This work will be of very great 

 value when the final volumes under the labor movement are brought into 

 shape. Further investigations are being made under Dr. Hollander's charge, 

 the larger part of the expense being borne by others. 



There has also been published "The history of the industrial employment 

 of women in the United States," by Miss Edith Abbott. This work appeared 

 in the Journal of Political Economy for October, 1906, and is an exceedingly 

 valuable contribution to the completed work. Miss Abbott, aided by Miss
