Ida Tarbell Says
Labor Conditions
Constantly Improve

NEW YORK, Jan. ls.-Miss Ida, NJ
Tarbell, author and investigator, testi-
fled at the continuation today OF the in
vestigation. by the federal industrial re
lations commission into the great philan-
thropic foundations that her observa-
tions over a period of twenty-five years
led her to believe that working condi-
lions generally were constantly improv-
ing and that large corporations were now
more acutely interesting themselves IN
the welfare OF their employees than ever
before. She advocated the scientific man
agement of shops and the establishment
Of an eight-hour day as panaeeas .or
labor troubles and a means of betterine
the living conditions of workers.
The witness asserted that the cost OF
living had increased at a rate greater
than wages. She did not believe suffrage
was an important factor in dealing with
social unrest among workers. The Unitec
States Steel corporation, she declared
had done more in recent years to provide
safety and better living conditions for
its employees than almost any other large
concern.
John Mitchell. former president of the
United Mine Workers and now New
York state labor commissioner, was t.
