The President's Mediation Commission was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1917 and represented a partial federal response to two aspects of wartime labor policy: 1) the spreading wave of strikes which interfered with the production of goods deemed vital to the war effort, and 2) the growth of labor radicalism associated with the IWW which precipated widespread state and local repression of labor's rights and vigilantism.
The comission investigated copper mining in Arizona and Montana, foresting in the Pacific Northwest, telephone operators in San Francisco, California, and packinghouses in Chicago, Illnois. Findings were published as Report of Presiden't Mediation Comission to the President of the United States in 1918.
