OUTLOOK: EDITORIAL FAVORSJTAFT PLEA Roosevelt Endorses Plan for Creation of Industrial Commission.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Feb. 16. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt indorsee President Taft's plea for the appointment of a commission to investigate industrial conditions in this country in an editorial beaded "A Phase of Industrial Justice" in the current number of The Outlook. "We hear much of the conflict between labor and capital," says Roosevelt, "and often it seems to be assumed that this conflict Is Inevitable and that capitalists and wage earners must be considered primarily as belonging to different classes, each individual being Judged solely by the stand of his own class. "This is a thoroughly false and unhealthy view. From the standpoint of the country, from the standpoint of good citizenship, the difficulties be

tween employer and employe, are of mighty small consequence compared with the need that each shall show that he possesses the great fundamental virtues. If both show that they do pjossess these great fundamental virtues then from the standpoint of the republic they are not in separate classes, they are in one class, in the tine class whose existence Is vital to the republic, the class that contains, whether on the farm, or in the workshop, or In the counting room, the decent hard-working, intelligent, self-respecting citizens. "The president in a recent message has recommended the creation by congress of a commission to look Into the industrial conditions In this country. It is earnestly to be hoped that Republicans and Democrats, wise Progressives and wise Conservatives, will all alike back up bis action. Such a commission could not but do good. If properly made up it would approach the matter of industrial relations without prejudice as between employers associations and labor unions. It would look at the matter from the point of view of public Interest with concern to work for the prevention of uneceseary labor disputes, and for settling those that do arise on a Just and permanent basis. Such a commission of wise public spirited and well Informed citlzena would look carefully and without prejudice Into the existing grievances of labor -and would examine the means which are available for fighting them and the plans which are being tried in this country or abroad for preventing and settling the disputes. It would examine into the function and efficiency of state and federal labor bureaus and would report as to existing 'labor laws, so that we night know whether they are adequate and correspond to our present plans aa a people. It would work Jong any Une of profitable inquiry which might be suggested. "Surely there is no a widespread and deep public Interest In this vital subject and an earnest desire to know whether our resisting mechanism for preventing and settling labor disputes and for helping the cause of social Justice as regards both employer and wage earner cannot be Improved. Undoubtedly the remedy must in a large part be fonnd in the action of several states rather than In tne federal government and undoubtedly it must also

In a large part, be found in voluntary arrangements between employers and employes and a higher general recognition of the needs of justice and fair dealing."
