Nine causes of labor unrest from commission report
Washington reports nine core causes of industrial unrest as agreed by employers and workers, ranging from low wages and long hours to immigration and rapid industry change. The commission notes widespread calls for better living conditions, industrial democracy, unemployment security, and stronger collective bargaining with moderated arbitration. It outlines employer and employee viewpoints, criticizes existing unions, and proposes a federal mediation body and national labor exchanges.

A review of 1914 labor legislation notes broad reform by Congress and 13 states plus Alaska. Highlights include New York public employment bureaus, wage and safety advances, expanded workers compensation, and limits on private employment agency fees. States report mine, railroad, and mine safety laws, child labor code updates, and new eight hour day provisions. The federal anti trust law now excludes labor unions from Sherman act enforcement, with additional steps to regulate injunctions in labor disputes.
