AN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
me o~eslrability of having a federal
commission on industrial relations au-
thorized and financed by congress and
appointed by the president has been
discussed in these column on several
occasions. The subject is again
brought to mind by tho address of
Prof. Lindsay Of Columbia before the
Cleveland conference this week. Pres
ident Taft Endorsed the idea of a COM
mission in a special message to con-
gress in February. While the project
has not been widely discussed, it has
already. gone far enough to get a
favorable report from committees in
both house and senate. The Hughes-
Borah bill now pending contains the
essential provision of the desired legis-
lation. 1t deserves favorable action

would not be large; the possibility of
much good is obvious AS outlined by
