A detailed final report and | copies of the proposed bill will be | printed and clrewlated later. The industrial comminsion was cre ated by the authority of Chapter 154, Lawe of 1919, Its duties were to in- vestigate the problems of industrial relations and to propose a law with a view to avoid industrial disputes, strikes, lockouta, ete. The commin don was @ year late in getting start ed on account of resignations of ap- pointed members and tent of consti tutionality in the courts, fully organized the members of the commission conscientiously studied and investigated the problema from all angie, The commission has studied carefully the efforts of other commissions, the laws of all the states and nations and thelr resulta In addition ft has had numerous pub- lic and private conferences with or citizens In all parts of the state. Based on the information at hand, the commision has so far unani mounly come to the following con clusions: 1, That the present state labor agencies and commissions dealing with labor and industrial problems should be consolidated, and that there should be more co-ordination and lens duplication in thelr work. 2. That all such labor agencies tn this state should function under one department. 2. That thin department should be removed from polities as far as por sible and should consist of men who are fair minded and are sincerely in- terested in this work 4. That there should be state ma- chinery or agencies to deal salely with industrial retations. 6. That antietrike laws or com- pulsory arbitration in not the ult mate solution of industrial disputes. 6. That industrial courts with man- datory powers, such as the Kansas court of industrial relations, are still in the experimental stage and that It would be more profitable for this state to study and observe this ex periment rather than to adopt such principles at this time 7. That furnishing of facilities by the state for encouragement of local industria! counciia, adjustment boards, ete. within the industries and tn the local communities will secure more indus trial peace than the extension of governmental authority over them. &. That the energy of the depart ment, if created, should be directed toward preventing tndustrial disputes and the adjustment of these differ ences Nefore they reach the strike and lockout stage. % That tn cases of Giaputes tn. volving public utilities and industries affecting public interest It should be mandatory upon such a department to investigate tmpartiaNy and make public reports promptly. 10, That the legislature mould enact a law during ita present session embracing the foregoing recommen dations.
