EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing in 1913, captures the moment of transformation in the United States Department of Labor. The image shows a temporary sign pasted over the "Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization - Law Division" sign, marking the newly created Office of the Secretary of Labor. The glass negative, now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the bureaucratic changes taking place during this period. The Office of the Secretary of Labor was established following the passage of the Davis-Bacon Act in 1913, which required that laborers working on federal construction projects be paid a "prevailing wage." George William Harris and Martha Ewing, the husband-and-wife team behind Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, captured this significant moment in history as Washington D.C.'s bustling government district continued to evolve. The lettering on the door, with its bold and clear lines, stands out against the dark background, emphasizing the importance of the new office. The image serves as a reminder of the ongoing administrative shifts that occurred during the early 20th century, shaping the country's employment landscape and labor policies. The Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes over 50,000 glass negatives, offers a unique perspective on American history, providing valuable documentation of the people, places, and events that shaped our nation.
