Biographical / Historical
The commission itself was established in the wake of mounting conflict and violence in American labor relations and especially as a result of the dynamiting in 1910 of the Los Angeles Times Building by two labor union officials.
In 1911, soon after confessions were rendered in the Tiimes bombing, a group of persons, predominantly social reformers connected with the Survey magazine, petitioned President William Howard Taft to create a federal commission to study industrial relations in the U.S.
In response to the President's call to Congress in the Sate of the Union message of 1912, Congress established, in August of that year, a tripartite Commission on Industrial Relations composed of nine members representing employers, employees, and the public.
