Affiliation with Other Organizations. 



The department has affiliated itself with the American Govern- 

 mental Officials in Industry of the United States and Canada. The 

 Chief Labor Inspector attended a convention of the Association held 

 in Toronto, Canada, June 7, 8, 9 and 10. Several matters of labor law 

 enforcement was discussed, with much enlightment to me. The 

 Labor Inspector feels that he gained valuable information for the 

 ■benefit of the department from the discussions of the other govern- 

 mental labor officials. It is a wise expenditure of time and money 

 to have a representative of the department at such meetings as the 

 association represents. In fact, the Chief Labor Inspector believes it 

 would be of real value to the State to have our inspectors attend this 

 association's meetings. We have many problems confronting us in 

 the administration and enforcement of labor laws and by discussion 

 and contacts with other governmental labor officials we can learn 

 the best ways and means to get effective and efficient enforcement of 

 laws and to give the better service to labor, industry and the puMic. 



The Chief Labor Inspector is happy to report that after a spirited 

 contest between Milwaukee, Boston, Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, 

 the delegates selected Louisville as its convention city for 1930 . 



I am happy to report that after a spirited contest between Mil- 

 waukee, Boston, Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, the delegates selected 

 Louisville as its convention city for 1930. 



Your representative who was the only Kentucky delegate to attend 

 the convention, put forward the claims of Kentucky and invited the 

 convention to Kentucky for 1930. 



Louisville being a centrally located city in the United States, we 

 feel that it will offer a fine inducement to several of the State Labor 

 officials to attend the Associations' convention who have not had the 

 privilege of attending before. 



We hope to make the 1930 convention the largest and best in the 

 history of the Association. 



Assurances have been received from the press, Louisville Conven- 

 tion and Publicity League, civic organizations and hotels to help us 

 arrange and entertain the convention. 



The department has also co-operated and assisted the Child Wel- 

 fare Council of Louisville, in some of its problems. 



The department discontinued membership in the National Safety 

 Council and placed its membership instead, with the Louisville Safety 

 Council in order to be of some assistance to our own State safety 

 enterprise. 



We are happy to have the privilege in helping to promote and 

 organize the first Ohio Valley Safety Conference Convention, which 

 was held in Louisville, June 11, 1929. This conference was attended 

 by about 150 persons during one day and evening session. The con- 

 vention of safety experts was sponsored by the Louisville Safety Coun-
