The most important of these laws is that of New York. which created bureau of e1npIoyment within the state department Of labor, with branches throughout the state in the discretion of the Commission CT. The people of Washington, in censed at Iong-standfng abuses, prac- ticalIy abolished private employment agencies in their states by prohibiting the taking of fees from applicants for work.
 Women's Work.
 Though minimum wage IegfsIatlon this year was represented only by some amendment to the AGassachu- setts law, five states and the federal government took action on hours and working conditions affecting women. Mississippi established for women a ten-hour day and 8 sixty-hour week. and Virginia, extended it's ten-hour law to cover certain abiishIneDts not previously affected, while New York made it's n1ne-hour day and fifty-four-hour week general for v7o men employed in all mercantile es tablishments and limited their work ing week to six days. Congress estab. ished for all female employees in the District of Columbia an eight-hour day and a forty-eightzhoI1 week, prohibited their employment before 2 a. m. or after 6 D. m.s and provided q special staff Of three inspectors, two of whom are to be women, to enforce the act.

 On the principle of collective bar gaining the investi gators found vlr- tually all witnesses with the excep- ton of those representing the Indus trial Workers of the World to be in accord. AS to any suggested method of application of that principle, how ever, wide divergence of opinion was noted. In this connection the report adds:
 GA majority of the best informed witnesses who have appeared before the commission have insisted, how ever, upon the necessity of securing a proper basis upon which such col1ec- tive bargaining can be carried out. It is impossible to ana1yze these srg- gestions at this time, but 1t may be WS4A IO AOI0 IIAdC PIS3CbASse4l4J dl1 O1 LH6 most experienced witnesses have in- sisted upon the necessity for strong organization of both employers and employees as a fundamental basis for the successful conduct of collective bargaining
 The report takes up in detail criti- cisnls of existing trade unions which it says came from employers and radf- calls who advocate other forms of 1a- bor organization. There are eighteen detailed criticisms in this list with an additional list of seven specified ob- jections to present labor union meth. ods made by Industrial Workers of the World.
 Paraleling these lists. twenty-one detailed criticisms of employers Aor- ganizatfons are presented, coming from labor representatives. The labor men, however, were unanimous in fa- voring strong organizations by eIn- p1oyers to further collective agree ments with employees.

workers from fire, and Maryland passed two comprehensive laws regu- la,ting canneries and tenement work shops. Three states and the territory of Alaska 1egislated upon the sub ject of safety in mines, Kentucky go- ing furthest and enactfng a new mine code. Several new railroad safety laws are concerned with full crews, headlights and enclosed vestibules on trolley cars.
 Factory Inspection
 Seven states dealt with machinery for more efficient enforcement of their labor laws. No changes from industrial commission are recorded this year, but special commissions or boards to administer workmen's com pensation laws were created in Ken lucky Maryland and New York. In several states salaries of labor depart ment staffs were increased.
 Child Labor
 Eleven states, or about three-quar- ters of those in which legislation was passed this year, took action on child labor. Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Virginia passed en- tfrely new codes, and other states amended their laws, tending to raise age limits and educational require ments, to shorten hours and to for
 
 night work Backward steps were taken in Maryland, where the mini mum age for neWsboys was reduced from twelve years to ten, and in Mis- sissippis. where the maximum work ing hours for boys of fourteen and girls of sixteen were increased from eight to ten a day. 4
 Workmen's Conpensatfons

 Alaska established an eight-hour day on public works. and a number of vacation and hour laws for public en- ployees were enacted in Massachusetts and New York. Five states and Alaska Iegis1ated on hours in private employment, railroad workers and miners being the groups most widely affected.

 Trade Disputes.

Washington, Dec. 7.--Ntne cardinal causes of indnstrial unrest, most gem era11y agreed upon by employers and empIoyes alike, were presenteda to Congress today by the Commission on Industrial Relations in it's preliminary report as follows:
 Largely a worldwide movement arising from a laudable desire for better living conditions. Advanced by representatives of labor. socialists and employers and generally endors- ed
 "A protest against low wages. long hours and improper working condi- tions in many industries. Advanced by practically all labor representativ ves and assented to by many employers
 .sA-desire on the part Of the work ! CTS for a voice in the deternAnati on of conditions under which they labor, and revolt against arbitrary treat rnent of individual workers and a sup pression of organization. This was eainost uniformly approved by labor witnesses.
 .-Unemployment and the insecurity of employment. Generally advanced Efby witnesses from every standpoint. Unjust distri button of the products E of industry. Advanced by most labor and agreed to by most employers.
 ssMisund erstanding and prejudice.
 
 .sAgitation and agitators- General kly advanced by employers. but de- tended by labor representatfves and others as 8 necessary means of educaf stton-
 ..The rapid rise in prices as com pared with wages. The rapidly growing feeling that Erredress for injuries and oppression ! cannot be secured through existing in- stftutions-
 Tn addition says the report, .'it : has been stated by many witnesses { that the tremendous Immigration of : the last quarter century. while not it. self a. directfcause of unrest, has sery- ed to accentuate the conditions aris- ing from other causes. by creating an over supply of labor unfamiliar with American customs, languages and conditions
 While it presents no conclusions, leaving those for later work, the com mission, after more than a. years in vestigation covering all phases of in dnstry throughout the country in which more than 500 witnesses repre- senting all relations of capital and labor were examined. presents the question:
 iris there need for changes, i'm provements and adaptfons or must en- tireIy new legal machinery be devis- ed for the control of industry ?''

NEW LABOR LAWS
Progress of 1914-Big Gains For America's Indus
 trial Army.

Big gains in the war against in- dustriaI evils is recorded in the Re- view of Labor Legislation of 1914, just issued from its New York head quarters by the American Association for Labor Legislation. The labor laws encated by Congress, by thirteen state legislatures which convened this year and by Alaska and other territories are briefly summarized.
 .Noteworthy as marking renewed determina1 on to grapp1e sctenuftca1- Iy with one of the most pressing prob Iems of industrial maladJustment," " said John B. Andreys, Secretary of the Association, yesterday, is the law adopted this year in New York, establishing a. statewide system of public employment bureaus. Shortly after the signing of this act, New York~ City adopted an ordinance re- suIting on November 18th in the op.. ening of the best equipped public em- ployment exchange in the country. New Workmen's compensation laws were enacted in New York, Maryland, Kentucky and Louisiana, while other states, notably Massachusetts. hber- alized the provisions of existing com pensation codes By enacting care fully drawn measures for the pre- vention Of compressed air illness and of lead poisoning, New Jersey took an advanced stand in the campaign for occupational hygiene In no few CT than seven states this year, init1at= ed measures affecting labor were sub mitted to popular vote. Among those which were successful are a new Ar kansas child labor law adopted on September 14, and a Washington bill prohibiting the taking of fees by pri- vate employment agencies from ap- plicants for work, adopted at the general election on Nowem- ber B. The 1918 Colorado as- sumption of risk law and the Ne braska workmen's compensation act of the same date, upon which refer enda had been demanded were4s1s- tained by popular vote, while the Missouri 4fu1I-crew law of 1913, which was similarly challenged, was repeal ed. Universal eight hour day bills, initiated in the three Pacific coast states. were lost. Of more than ordi- nary interest is the section of the new federal antitrust law which prevents the use of the Sherman act against trade unions on the ground that <'the labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of com merce' Congress also strictly regu- lated the issuance of injuncuons by federal courts in labor disputes, and established an eight hour day for fe- male workers in the District of Co., Iumbia-'' Two important measures still before Congress provide for a. federal system of public employment offices and for adequate industrial ac- cident and oconpational disease com pensation for federal employees.
 Accfdents and Diseases
 Three legislatures enacted laws re- quiring industrial accidents or goccupa- tional diseases to be reported, while New Jersey adopted scientific meas ures for the prevention of lead poison ing in lead plants and potteries and of the dreaded .'bends's or compress ed air illness in tunnel and caisson work -Four states gave further att tention to protecting, their industrial

WHO'S WHO 1N THE yvAaa.

Col. Rt. Hon. John Edward Bernard Beelys who was being denouneSd in some quarters as a traitor not so very long ago. because Of his part in the Irish bles, has been making a brilliant showing at the front Col. See1y was Secretary for War fn the Asquith ministry until public criticism forced his retirement from the post, but he has lately demonstrated, what his friends have always claimed, that he is a better soldier than politician. Col. Seely is forty-six years of age, and was the youngest son if Sir Charles See1y. He was a barrister be fore the South African war aroused his military ardor. when he went to the front with the Imperial Yeoman- ry. winning the D.. 8. o. the Queens medal and honorable mention 1n the dispatches. Long before that ha had taken part in a daring rescue at sea and had received a. gold medal from the French government as a reeoEni- ton of his heroism. After the close Of the South African war Col. Seely entered the political arena and was elected to Parliament. He was Under Secretary for the Colonies before he now held by Earl Kitchener. Accord ing to reports from the front, Col SeeIy has been one of the bravest and most daring of the British staff of f1cers in France. He had two motor cars stshot from under hina's by Ger man shells and his distinguished him self in scouting work. It is declared by the British corresponden that he has often driven his car into the thickesE of the fighting in order to rescue wounded soldiers. He is de- scribed as being ''all over the place, going where the shells are thickest in the discharge of his duties.

the organization had any business to
 put before it. President George Cal lahan stated that conditions inh the city were exceptionally clean and that
 there probably would be nothing spe. cial to be taken up at this time. The matter of the summer advertis- ing was taken up and on motion of
 E. M. Cohen it was decided to name a committee from this organization to cooperate with the Business Mems League committee in the matter of se- curing and handling a summer adver- Using fuld. if the Business Mems Lea. que desired such cooperation. Presi. | dent George Callahan complimented the publicity committee on its work
 in the past and designated that com mittee to take the matter up with | the Business Mems League and prof 1 fer their services as cooperative workers. Douglas Hotchkiss. chair
 man of this committee, stated that the advertising results from the Ar kansas Booster Day were most unex pectedly large. and that anyone who has seen the moving pictures of the
 celebration and who realized how the Pathe Company would herald the cel2- bration, must know that the sum ex. pended in expenses was many times made up for in the advertising the city would get.
 Chairman Callahan stated that from many sources over the state he had heard compliments on the big day of entertainment. that all were well
 pleased, and there would be no doubt of the perpetuity of the celebration.
 E. M. Cohen, who had recently wis tied St Louis, said that the Iron Mountain had drawn plans for a de pot to be set on their own property, and had agreed to take up the spur tracks on Valley street. The plans for the new depot would be here soon. The freight depot of the line would be one block in the rear of where it had been proposed.
 w. s. Sorrels and Louis Rhoton made addresses to the organization in behalf of the interurban putting their very splendid stock offer before the audience, and asking the body for encouragement in the promotion of this new line for the upbuilding and development of Hot Springs and the country between this city and Little Rcck.
 Robert Pederson presented a plan he has for the building of a swimming pool for the boys of the city on a site given by Hiram Wilmington out on the Gulpha. He asked the cooperation and influence of the organization in the matter. He contributes ths work and much of the expense to the move ment, which is taken up as a means of providing boys of the city with a lure to prove interest in their welfare and get them together to work out in- fluences for good among them.
