NEWS OF NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Industrial Commission Report Deals
With Labor-Taft Testifies.
House and Senate.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE third
part of the industrial commission
final report was made public. 1t
treats of labor, immigration, taxation
and irrigation. Regarding labor the
following recommendations in part
are made:
Congress having no power to leg
lslate directly upon the subject, it is
recommended that several states es.
tablish uniform hours of labor and
also specially regulate the hours of
employment of persons between the
age of IA and q. The working day
of all public employment, the report
says, should be eight hours, in the
hope that it would bring private EN-
ployment to the same standard. The
period of work in underground mines
should be eight hours a day. 1t is
recommended that congress under its
powers as to interstate commerce
prevent any person under IS years
being employed as a telegraph oper-
ator On railroads; that all engineers
and switchmen should submit to An
examination for color blindness; that
it should be misdemeanor for an
engineer or switchman to be intOxi-
Gated while on duty. The report say
the states should adopt law provid-
ing that labor should be paid in cash
or cash orders without discount and
not in goods or due bills, and that
company stores should not be al
lowed. Provisions should be made
for fair weighing at mines.

Regarding lnjunctions.

Tor falf weighing at mines.
Regarding injunctions.
Regarding injunctions the commits
sion says:
1.-THE question of the enforcement Of
the labor contract by injunction or
contempt in equity process is very
difficult one, mainly SO made by the
abuses which have arisen from III.
functions carelessly issued by learned
judges or by unlearned judges Of in
ferior courts in states which confuse
chancery and common law jurisdic-
ton. The injunction is a high pre-
rogative writ, and should be awarded
only after the most careful examina-
ton by tribunal thoroughly compe-
tent"
A statute to prevent intimidation
at Federal elections is recommended.
Congress should legislate to prevent
the importation and sale of convict
made goods from one state into an
other without the consent Of the
state into which the goods are i'm
ported, Or where they are sold.
On the subject of railway labor.
which, the report says, is undoub.-
eddy covered by the interstate powers
of congress, the commission is OF
opinion that congress should adopt IA
consistent code of law regulating all
matters concerning employment IN
that industry.
