S. Department of Labor by one year. After 1892, the Department was known as the Industrial Bureau. A reorganization in 1916 renamed it the State Board of Labor and Statistics, and con- centrated in it powers to enforce all the factory acts.

It adopted its present name by Chapter 402, Acts of 1970. Under the direction of a Commissioner appointed by the Secretary of Licensing and Regulation with the approval of the Governor, and holding office at the pleasure of the Secretary, the Division enforces laws and regulations affecting workers and employers and promotes harmony between industry and labor through mediation and arbitra- tion of labor disputes and the holding of consent collective bargaining elections.
