The Commission on Industrial Relations (a.k.a. the Walsh Commission) was created by the U.S. Congress on 08/23/1912 to scrutinize labor laws. The final report, published in eleven volumes in 1916, contain tens of thousands of pages of testimony from a wide range of witnesses, including Clarence Darrow, Louis Brandeis, Mary Harris “Mother” Jones, scores of workers, and industry titans such as Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie. Read more about labor laws over the last century in Tazia and Gemma (see NOVELS).
