Miss Jane Adams Among Those
Who Want Congress to Pro-
vide Special Body.

Fifty of the leading sociological work
ers Of the country, including Miss Jane
adams, Rabbi s. 5. Wise and +. T.
Devine. today asked President Taft tn
recommend to Congress the creation of
commission to study the relations be
tween employers and employees in this
country. as especially dealing with la
boring men not favoring violent meas
ures in the handling of questions. A
committee. headed by Miss Adams and
Rabbi Wise. saw the President. explained
the situation to him, found him deeply
interested and secured his promise to
consider the matter and possibly recon-
mend such commission
The objects which such a commission
should deal with are given as follows:
To investigate land on this point make
a preliminary report within six monthsl
conditions of labor during the last six
years in the structural iron trade. includ-
ing in the study the organizations of
employers and employees. the methods
and purposes of each and the relations
of each to the other.
To, Examine Status of the Union.
To gauge the breakdown of our ma
chinery of industrial government by trac-
ing the trend OF law and judicial de-
cision through state and federal courts
with respect to labor causes the boy
colt, the picket, the injunction, the
strike), and to examine the exact econo-
mic and legal status of the union. the
union member, the non-union man, the
strikebre a,:e: the tenant of company
house.
To investigate the economic and social
cost of strikes to employers, to workmen
and to the public
70 examine and review the rules and
records of trade unions and employ
ers associations in their relations to
each other; the conditions of the trades
i'm which unions are strong and those
in which no unions exist. Nor should
such commissions work be limited
to these negative lines. 1t should be
commissioned:
To Study Work of Bureaus.
To study and make report on the
scope and methods and resources of
federal and state bureaus of labor. to
the end that they may meet perma-
nently those responsibilities which.
through the work of such commits
sion. would be more adequately de-
fined.
TO make special and exhaustive study
into the Iracticability and working prin
ciples of schemes of economic govern
ment such the trade Legislature i'm the

arbitration board. which for seven years
controlled the New York bull jes:
