Tlw report, embodying the personal findings of Mr. Walsh and concurred in by Commissioners John I). Lonnon, dames O'Conncll nnd Austin U. Oar- ictson, was mndc public hero today. ".Tho workers of tho nation, tluough compulsory and oppressive methods legal and illegal, arc denied the full product of their toil," it was declared in tho report, and tho re sulting industrial dissatisfaction was said to have reached "proportions that already menaco tho social good will and ponce of tho nation." osKiiNlllllty for Condition llesponsibility for tho condition under which they live was placc.i primarily upon tho workers tlfem h'clvcs, who, "blind to their collective t-ltcngth and ol'ttimes deaf to the erics of their follower, Imvo suf fered exploitation and the invasion of their most saercd rights without re sistance."

"Empleye: s from coast to coast have created and maintained small piiwito armies of nrmed men and have used those forces to iutimidato and suppress thoir striking employes by deporting, imprisoning, nssaulting and killing their labor lcadors. Elab orate spy systems are maintained to discover and forestall tho movoments of tho enemy. Tho uso of stato troops in policing strikes has bred a bitter hostility to tho militia system.
