Secretary Wilson Recommends "Req
ulatlr.g Contests Between Labor
and Capital for Peace and Order"
and Probe of Strike Methods.
Use of Firearms With Fatal Effect In
Connection With Labor Strikes
Quoted as Need of Interference.
WASHINGTON, Feb. . A deep
nnd widespread investigation into the
methods used both by employers and
employes in luhor wtruggleH
throughout the country wiih predicted
toduv hy national lawmakers here ns
a result of Secretary of Labor Wil
soii'h recommendation in his first an
nual rcMirt, just filed, of legislation
"to regulate this business in the in
terest of public jHiaee nnd order."
Const-rational I'mbo
A congrcssionnl inquiry would be
n necessary preliminary to legisla
tion of this sort, it was said, and
this was whnt it was predicted would
be the next step. Various govern
ment departments have vnst masses
of statistics concerning the relations
between capital and labor, hut de
tailed information concerning their
methods of currying on nctunl phys
ical campaigns is not so readily
available.
It was generullv agreed, however,
that Secretary Wilson hud mnde out
a strong case.
"The use of firearms in a .peelct
of private wnrfnre in connection
with labor strikes calls for serious
consideration," said his report.
"Groups cf men on both sides, with
out military or police authority, have
useM firearms with fatal effect."
Kspecial reference was mado to thu
Colorado and Michigan mine strikes.
Department us Mediator
It was suggested that congress
more clearly define the labor depart
ment's functions ns a mediator in
labor disputes and supply it with
money for the work.
Attention wns called to the fact
that the immigration bureau is s.
swamped with work us to render ef
fective supervision of nrrivnls im
possible to thu fact that, despite tho
cxis-.iug ugrccment with Japan, out
of tiS.VJ Japanese who applied for

K. Campbell of the railroad commis
