LAWRENCE STRIKE REPORT
WILL BE PRINTED SOON

Washington, July 6.-The senate
this afternon ordered printed as a
public document the bitter arraign-
ment of working conditions in Law
renee, Massachusetts in the form of
the official report by the federal la
Dor bureau agents, who investigated
the reasons for last years textile
strike.
The exact report will not be made
public till it comes from the printing
office but some of it's features are
sweeping condemnations of the homes
of the employees furnished by the
millowners. 1t is estimated the av-
erage wage given $1,000 employees
during one week selected at random
last year was $S.75, which is declar-
ed to be insufficient to support a fam
lily. Child labor, the report asserts,
was the natural outgrowth of such
a system where the head of the
household was forced to add to his
income by obtaining work for his
children.

WITHOUT A PARTY

path into American politics for his
third party by petty criticism of DEM
ocratic candidates." Representative
Burleson of Texas replied to charg-
es made yesterday by Roosevelt.
There is no room for third par
to-" Burleson declared. Roosevelt
realizes that fact as tho greatest inn
pediment in his new organization
scheme. He is analyzing the plat
forms and policies of the republican
and democratic platforms in an effort
to discover some flaw on which he can
build the foundation for a third party.
He is attempting the impossible"
Burleson denied Roosevelt's asser-
ton that Wilson rs free trader.
Roosevelt advocates the repeal of
the Sherman law" he said. THAT is
new and fitting move for his third
party. His supporters, Gary of the
steel trust, Geo. w. Perkins, of the
Morgan syndicate Medil Mccormick OF
the harvester trust and others who
dominate the great industries of the
United States also favor a repeal OF
