LOW WAGES AS
UNRESTS CAUSE
Tollers of Nation, Through Compuls
ory and Oppressive Methods, Legal
anil Illegal, Arc Denied Full Prod
uct of Their Toil, Declares Chair
man Industrial Commission.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 28. Low
wages wub found to bo tlio basio
cnuso of industrial unrest in tho re
port which Frank P. Walsh, chair
mnn of tho federal commission on in
dustrial relations, and tho labor
members of that body, will present to
confess as n result of tho commis
sion's two-year investigation into tho
subject.
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." The report in part follews:
"We find tho basio cause of indus
trial dihsatisfaelio'n to fto fo'wTvagoJ.",
or, (ho fact that the woikcrs of the
nation, through compulsory and op
pressive methods, legal and illegal,
are denied the full product of their
toil.
Hitter IleMiitiuent
"Citizens numbering millions smart
under a senso of injustice and op
predion, born of tho conviction that
the opportunity is denied them to no
cture for themselves and their fam
ilies that degree of economic well
being necessary for the enjoyment of
thee material and spiritual satisfac
tions which alone inuko life woith liv
ing. "Hittemess, bred of unfilled need
ior suCficieut food, clothing and shel
ter for themselves and their wives
and children, has been further nour
ished in tho hearts of these millions
by rohcntmcnjl against tho arbitrary
power tiiat ennbleR tho employer, un
der our present industrial system, to
control not only tho workman's op
portunity to earn his bread, but oft
tunes through tho exorcise of this
power, to dictate his social, political
and moral environment.
Depth of Unrest
"Tho extent and depth of indus
trial unrest can hardly ho exaggerat
ed. Thirty thousand workers in a
Miiglo striko Imvo followed tho lead
ership of men who denounced govern
ment and called for iclentlcss war
fare on organized society.
"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.
"Courts, Jegislaturos and governors
havo been rightfully accused of serv
ing employers to tho defeat of jus.

tho Russinu lines along tho Zlota Lipa
river, it was officially announced to
day by German army headquarter'.
' It was also announced that the

southeast of Hialyslok, had been oc
cupied by tho Germans.
Clearing Ciilleln
Today's statement from Oct man
anny headquarters that the ltussiau
lines on the Zlotia-Lipa had been
broken through apparently means
that tho Teutonic forces are renew
ing their thrusts in Galician terri
tory nnd havo scored a success in
tho course of an attempt to clear tho
remnindcr of that territory of litis
situi troops, which, if carried to a
conclusion, would result in tho Itus
siuns being forced back into their
provinces of Volhynia and Padolia.
The occupation of tho town of Na

Xo Separate J'earo
LONDON, Aug. 28. As the Hus
sian armies continue to retreat tho
foreign war ministries ut P'ltrograd
deny .vigorously that.their government
has any thought of making a separate
peaco with the central powers. Spe
cial dispatches from Felrograd state
that the Rubious ate on tho point of
digging themsolves in.
Military writers at tho Hussian
capital uvo of the opinion that the
German turning movement in ('nor
land is not likely to threaten 1'ctro-
grad seriously this autumn, as Field
Marshal Von Hiudciibiirg apparently
has mndo no progress in his efforts
Co secure control of tho Initio coast.
Tho latest nows indicates that Ger
many has not given up tho plan for
naval co-operation toward this end.
Borliu reports that Gorman warhip3
bombnrded at two points, Dago isl
and, which commands the cntraiieo to
the Gulf of Finland.
Tho Hiibsinn foreign minister, M.
Sazonoff, declares emphatically that
there is no disagreement among tho
allied comtnnudots and that w'hilc a
German soldier remains on Hussian
soil there can bo no peace.
Most of tho newspapers consider
that President Wilson has won a dip
lomats success, tho effect of which
on tho whole question of submarine
wurfaro is certain to bo mnmontous.
