' "The rapidly growing feeling that redress for Injuries and oppression cannot be secured through existing institutions. "In addition." says the report, "It baa been stated by many witnesses that tho tremendous Immigration ot tho last quarter century, while not itself a direct cause of unrest, has served to accentuate the conditions arising from other causes, by creat ing an over supply of labor unfa miliar with American customs, lang ago and conditions." While it presents no conclusions, leaving those for later work, the commission, after more than a year's investigation covering all phases ot Industry throughout the country in which more than 500 witnesses rep resenting all relations of capital and labor were examined, presents the questien: "Is fhcro need for changes, im provements and adaptions or must entirely new legal machinery bo de vised for tho control of Industry?"
