The proposition of the President as the

in indefinite amounts to try the armistice

SCOPE OF LABOR INQUIRY.
Valuable suggestions Obtained from
the British Commissioners Report.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-The subcom-
mittees of the industrial commission were
discussing and formulating plans for their
work to-day A general syllabus has been
prepared covering a series of general topics
and questions to be submitted to employers
and employees, which is designed for the use
of the four subcommissions, with such
amendments as each may decide on to
cover the special branch of the investiga-
ton which 1t has in charge. This general
syllabus will be submitted to the full COM
mission tomorrow. The members of the
commission, in arranging the preliminaries
for their work, have obtained valuable sug-
gestions from the reports Of the British
royal commission, which made it's final re-
port In 1894 That commission first sat IN
1867 to consider the question of strikes and
the general subject OF conflicts between
labor and capital But it simply submitted
the testimony without findings or conclu-
SiOnS or suggestions for remedial legiSla-
ton and tho report was so unsatisfactory
that ii was reconvened in 1874, but II was
not until the Devon3hire commission Of
1894 made it's report that the Investigations
bore fruit in legislation. Upon that report
was founded practically the whole labor
legislation of Great Britain In these three
Investigations a general syllabus was used.

obtained

subcommissions will get into the field for

from Pittsburg that his company had made
a reduction of $50 in the passenger rate

Company was notified several weeks ago of
the intention of the Baltimore & Ohio Com
