"the experience Of the bureau seems to
point logically to the need for an ex-

the result. which will enable the gov

in the main by administrative super

ccdure; most important of all, sys-
TEN which will afford a permanent
ground for contact and cooperation be-
tween the government official charged
with this work on the one hand ana
corporate managers on the other hand.
1T is believed that the time is ripe
for such a system. The voluntary CO.
operation and assistance of most of the
large corporations involved is the sub
ject matter of the bureaus investisa-
lions.
This assistance by the leaders OF
industry has been encouraging espe-
cially in it's indication of the attitude
of many of the ablest men of the coun-
try. and the attitude of the public at
large toward the fundamental objects
for which this bureau was created.
There is no need that such federal
supervision should derogate from the
proper powers OF the state.
THE business of today is transacted
under conditions which from COM
mercial standpoint are purely national
with no reference to state lines, but the
legal status of these businesses is still
limited almost wholly by state statutes,

union No. IS. declared at meeting of
delegates from nearly every labor or
ganization in San Francisco, that as a
relief measure the unions stood ready
to appropriate $4,000,000 in cash to b. y

The proposition met with such instant
favor that steps were taken for calling
a mass meeting of all the unemployed

Reguin asserted that there were 49,
