WILL DIGEST THE TESTIMONY.
Industrial Commission to Prepare n
Partial Report for Congress.

Partial Report for Congress.
The members of the Industrial Commits
sion win spend the time until their next
meeting for the taking of further testi-
mOny on November 8 in going over the
subjects already investigated and preparing
a partial report TO be transmitted to Con-
gTess early in the session. The proposed
report will deal particularly with the sub
ject of trusts, on which the Investigation
has been most thorough.
The majority OF the Commissioners have
been present at most of the sessions, dur
ing this part of the investigation, and it
is very probable that opinions have been
formed in nearly all cases. Just what the
nature CT the report viii be, however, can
not be definitely determined at present
The Commissioners decline to express
themselves upon its probable character, but
it is thought BY those who have followed
the work of the Commission closely, and
have read the testimony, that the report
will recommend restrictions. 1t is practi-
Caliy a foregOne conclusion that the rec
concentrations made will recognize the fact
that trusts and combines cannot be abOl-
ished.
The report, it is said, VIII be of a mild
character, and Will not contain any sweep
ing declarations against the great CON-
bines. 1t is thought that restrictions will
be recommended TO the legislatures of some
Of the States, in regard to stock transac-
tions.
In addition to the special reports on
trusts, the Commission intends to send a
report upon immigration and possibly upon
mining and manufacturing. All the neces-
sary information covering immigration has
bsen received, and mining and manufactur-
ing will in all probability have been thor
oughly investigated by the 1st of January.
AS the Commission proceeds with its in
vestgadons the scope Of it's work broadens.
and it viii now be impossible to finish
within the time mapped out for it. The
industrial interests of the country, it has
been found, are more extensive than Con-
gress supposed when it enacted the bill
providing for the Commission. and there
are many so-CaIled evils connected with
them which come within the scope of that
body 1t is thought probable that Congress
Will prolong the life of the Commission
at the next session from one to two years.
