Investigation of Manufacturing Condi.
tons In Chicago Progressing.


Chicago, March 3.-The inquiry of
the Subcommittee of the industrial
commission into the manufacturing
conditions in Chicago has taken on a
broader scope than was intended, and
IL is thought possible it may be the
means of bringing about an amicabls
settlement of the existing labor trou-
bles, by an impartial and unbiased in
Ivestigation of the conditions prevail
ing. u is now planned to have repre-
sentatiyes of the labor organization APP
pear before the subcommittee and
state their case.
Charles X. 0ffield, patent attorney,
gave the result of his investigations in
to the present labor and manufacturing
conditions in Chicago and vicinity,
and said the present conditions were
intolerable. and that unless something
drastic were done the capital invested
in manufacturing would be driven out.
He thought the president of the United
States could select a commission of
sufficiently high standing and honor to
bring about settlement of the trouble,
and that If the president gave any in
timatlon of his willingness to do so. he
would without doubt be invited to ap-
point such commission. Thomas
Nicholson, contractor, favored a COM
bination of contractors. Labor unions
as contractors would then not have to
deal with ten or twelve different
unions. Nicholson said both sides in
the present controversy were right in
some things, and wrong in others, but
both were lighting for principle The
only solution seemed to be the wearing
out of one side. and as the builders
and contractors were better provided
with funds. the result seemed inevi-

his wife were considered quite equal to

the overworked minister and his wife,
that idea has been relagater to the past,

of the details of parochial work.
