Ethelbert Stewart (1857-1936) of Illinois was a pioneer in the field of labor statistics. A longtime employee of the United States Labor Department, Stewart also founded and edited labor newspapers. He served as the commissioner of labor for Illionis, chief of the United States Labor Bureau, chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1920-1932, and statistical advisor to the United States Tariff Board. The collection is writings, correspondence, and clippings of Ethelbert Stewart. Two-thirds of the collection is made up of manuscript or mass-produced copies of articles, speeches, and short stories by Stewart and of clippings by or about him. The other writings and the correspondence with government officials, labor leaders, reformers, and economists concern labor organizations, strikes, the tariff, his official duties, vocational education, education of children with speech disorders, and other issues. Correspondents include Charles Henry Dam and Henry Demarest Lloyd.
