During the recent sessions of the leg

peated hearings and work in the part
of both the senate and house commit
tees the legislature was unable to come
to any agreement that suited all par
ties interested. A substitute bill was
drafted by Senator Miller, Of Detroit,
which provided that the governor be
empowered with the authority TO name

make study of the conditions and re-

bill can be framed that will meet the
approval of both the workingmen and

which time a chairman shall be chosen
and clerical help hired and other neces-
sary arrangements made so as to ear
