Through examination Of witnesses
competent to speak for employers.
trade unions, other labor organiza-
lions, unorganized employees and the
general public, the commission hopes
to obtain information concerning the
industrial situation that will lead tc
constructive recommendations.
Some of the subjects to be inquired
into in each city are irregularity of
employment, possibilities of ending ir-
regularity and increasing production
through scientific management, the ac.
tivities of trades unions and employers
associations and the extent and opera
ton of governmental machinery for
regulating the conditions of industry,
including the relations between en-
ployers and employees.
Successful methods of maintaining
harmonious relations beneficial to both
employers and employees will be in
CURED into particularly, with view to
their adoption in other centers where
no such methods have been tried.
Eminent authorities in subjects to be
included within the scope Of the in
quiry have joined the staff of the com.
mission and are now aiding in plan.
ming the hearings.
Witnesses desired by the commission
will be summoned under the authority
granted it by congress and volunteer
testimony will be welcomed Announc.
ing the plan for hearings, Chairman
Walsh said:
"The commission will carefully avoid
acting as a board of mediation and con.
Citation and will not allow itself to be
drawn into local controversies or rec
ognize such controversies unless in do.
ing so it can obtain information that
has more than local and temporary
significance.
Every interest will be given hear
ing. The commission will strive to put
aside all bias and prejudice. It will
urge others to do the same in the hope
that the industrial problem may be
studied in the light of reason. The
open mind will be our watchword. and
we shall endeavor to provide forum
where men representing all factions can
meet in the common purpose of finding
a way out from bitterness and strife.
To accomplish this we shall need the
cooperation and help of all concerned.
We shall ask those who meet with us.
at the hearings to come not as employ
ers or employees. but as men belonging
to the same human family.
The hearings are to be undertaken
as one means of carrying out the in.
structions Of congress to inquire into
the industrial situation and to report
our conclusions and recommendations.
The commission wishes in particu-
lar to invite the help of every person
who has a constructive suggestion.
Such suggestions will be especially
welcome when they are supplemented
by testimony as to the successful car
rying out Of the ideas they embody.'

BURNING BEST METHOD.

The health officers should see that
all sanitary regulations are fully OBJ
served and try, by all means, to stamp
out this menace to live stock in this
section. 1t is recognized by the best
authorities that sanitation is of more
value than any attempt to effect cures
when once the disease breaks out.
When animals die, they should be
burned at once, or buried in deep pit
into which a heavy layer OF lime has
first been thrown and another heavy
layer of lime spread over the carcass,
having taken care that natural open
ings of the body were completely plug
ged as soon as death took place.
If the body must be moved, haul it
on a wagon or slide, but never drag
the carcass on the ground A failure
to dispose of dead animals in reason
able way should be reported to the
parish board of health.

A LAND oWNER-NoTHlNe MORE

J. w. Canada in The Chicago Public:
The other day the papers in Houston,
Texas, mentioned the fact, in speaking
of the funeral services of man who
had just died in that city, that only
thirteen people were in attendance.
The man in question left fortune
estimated at $10,OOO,OOO True, he was
somewhat of recluse and no MEM
bers Of his family lived with him in
Houston, but the fact that man worth
so many millions should pass away
and only thirteen people should attend
his funeral services Is worthy of COM
ment, and brings to the thinking man
the question of why it should be so.
This man with the millions had
merely accumulated lands from his
earliest manhood, and the growth in
population of the cities and the coun-
| try in which his lands and lots were

meager beginning of fifty dollars, his
first investment, to ten million dollars,
the estimated value of the fortune he
left, and he carried with him nothing,
not even tears Of wife and children,
for he had none, but died alone, as he
Ihad lived. The vast estate he left goes
to distant relatives. Here was a vast
wealth not created by him, not used
by him, not enjoyed by him and not
carried away by the man who knew so
little of real living that he is not miss
ed by one when he is gone. How
much longer will 1t be possible under
our laws for man to take such toll
of the heritage of humanity, the lands
that were created for homes for all?

THE suPERFLUoUs DOG.

News Letter, Dept. of Agriculture:
1.-THE superfuous dog in villages and
on non-sheepraising farms constitutes
a very serious obstacle to the logical
development of farm sheep husbandry
in the United States.
Recently the Bureau of Animal In
dustry asked for an estimate OF the ex-
tent to which the present numbers OF
sheep might be increased without dis
placing any other farm stock. A great
many of the correspondents gave 1000
per cent in answer to this question.
when asked to name the things that
prevent more general keeping of sheep,
30 states gave as a large majority OF
their answers, dogs
Compensation for damage done by
dogs seldom takes account OF injury to

are often manned and rendered so I'M
easy and unthrifty for months that the
