The recommendations compiled by the
Duke of Devonshire as the basis of the re-
port of the Labor commission, and which
are expected to be adopted by the house OF
commons, have been published in London.
They conclude with the statement that 1t
would be unwise to institute any general
system of industrial tribunals, but that
there might be some advantage in smpow-
ering town and county councils to estab-
hsh them tentatively without directly sp-
pointing the members. With regard to
the more serious disputes affecting large
bodies of men, the commissioners think
that it would do more harm than good to
establish wards with legal powers. The
commission does not recommend the direct
establishment of boards of Cancellation
and arbitration by the State, but
thinks that a central department may
do much by advice and assistance to pro-
mote their more rapid and general sstsb-
lishment. The commissioners consider
that 1t would be no advantage TO institute
a special labor department, but advocate .
government inquiry. With reference to
nor. nnionist labor the commissioners think
1t impossible to remove by legislation the
causes of those serious conflicts that have
occurred In recent years. They hold that
non -unionist workmen should be protected
as far as possible by the public suthori-
ties, and that individual liberty for the
masters to employ and the men to serve
whom they please should be maintained.
