by Charles W. Bowerman. J. II.
Thomas and H. w. Garrett. labor
members Of the British commission.
Cooperation between labor organ
nations and the government in Eng
land In the early days of the war
brought about the greatest results. 1t
is known that the British labor COM
missioners have been strong In their
advice that American labor organiZa :
lions follow the same metheds.----
IT In highly probable that some
form OF agreement will be reached be-
tween the government and the labor
examinations for the period OF the
war. This agreement will undoubt-
odly call for a ndardizatton OF
wages not TO be lower than the pres
ont wages. a waivure OF tho right OF
labor to strik or a truce which will
declare strikes as unpatriotc acts.
Finally, labor organizations are ex-
pected TO abolish the eight-hour day
for the duration of the war On the
other hand, protection for labor from
the government and the establishment
OF war labor tribunal to settle all
labor questions is expected.

poinaed out that no complaints are

that innumerable protests are lodged
because of the lack of adequate freight
facilities.
MIR. Underwood calculated that the
increase in operating expenses for his
road during the present year would
aggregate 1886 per cent. Tie said
that therefore the 10 per cent IN
