COMMISSION ASKS
ALL TO TAKE PART
Continued from page -

mere creation of adjustment and in
curry boards will not be of any perma
nont benefit. The existence OF such
machinery will probably encourage
rather than lessen industrial contro
yersy Just as the existence Of courts
encourages unnecessary litigation
The objection to this solution on the
\ part of employers will be the same as
that made against the war trade board
--tl:at such bodies do more than any
thing else to drive the men into the
unions through their inordinate en-
ceuragement of collective bargaining.
d. E. Felt, president of the Felt and
Tarrant company, said he considered
the recommendations OF the commits
\ sion pretty sound
tThe machinery favored by the
ccmmission," he said, "wiil certainly
not act as a panacea for all Industrial
! ills but it is rational and fair to botn
SIDES. If the plan is put into effect II
should serve to help the situation
materially"
Labor Leaders Cautious.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. - Labor
leaders here today were cautious IN
their comments on the report OF
President Wilson's industrial COM
mission proposing new machinery Tor
settlement of strikes.
Laboring men generally said they
would refrain from offering sugges-
tons for changes in the tentative re-
port until they have had chance to
study thoroughly the proposals.
"Any machinery aiming to bring
about adjustment of disputes is good
thing" said Frank Morrison, secre-
tary of the American Federation Of
Labor. "but it all depends on the,
good will of employers and employees
and if the good will is there the ma
chinery is not necessary"
J. J. Forester, head of the railway
clerks union, said he did not believe
the regional board idea would work
rs concerns the railways.
Industries such as the railways
would have to be handled as unit
and could not be handled in sections"
Forester favors the creation of sep
Arate boards in Washington to handle
the railroad disputes.
Suggestions from railroad men are
particularly sought by the commission
which left final determination of settle
ment of railway disputes to future con-
sideration with the tntimation that
additional machinery would probably
have to be, provided.
Officials of the railroad administra-
ton were inclined to favor the report.
They were particularly interested in
the section tentatively proposing 10
put railway rates and wages under
consideration of one body
