WISCONSIN, INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION GOOD
State Labor Commissioner Urick
Praises Wisconsin Labor Laws,
After Making Investigation.

Wisconsin's labor and industrial
commissions are great improvement
over the Iowa departments, in the
opinion of A. L. Urick. state labor
commission, who returned yesterday
from Madison, Wis. where he has been
making an investigation Of the work
ings of the Wisconsin labor laws.
"The labor and Industrial commits
sion are undsr one management in
Wisconsin" said Mr.. Trick. They
have board OF three commissions
in charge and their management Of
the department has given them ma
tional reputation. Some IDEA OF how
their department compares with ours
may be gained from the fact that the
Wisconsin annual appropriation .or
the department is s120,oo0 as against
$50, 900 in this state
