INDUSTRIAL UNREST :

The Federal Commission on Indus
trial Relations set out to learn whether
there is and industrial unrest; and II
so, why? It is probably convinced by
this time that there is unrest. Most
of the witnesses before It have agreed
about that. But as to the other ques-
tion-why there is unrest-there is
much difference of opinion. Most OF
the employers say, that it is due to
labor agitators, while most OF the labor
witnesses put the blame on employers.
Occasionally a witness ventures TO at
tribute it to some cause other than EN-
ployer or agitator without being any
too convincing in trying to bolster up
the opinion.
is not the real cause of unrest the
fact that all opportunities for employ
|ment are entirely beyond the reach OF
laborers? To get work laborers need
permission of those in control. To
keep it they must submit to the terms
of those in control. Such conditions
naturally breed unrest, even when en-
ployers try as well as they know how
to be fair and generous. man VINO

DOES PHOENIX OBJECT

According to- press reports of July

body is seriously considering an or
finance which taxes every useful Ia
oorer within its limits. Those in favor
f this ordinance are evidently SO op-
sosed to cleanliness that they want to
compel every washerwoman to. pay
license of $40 a year. They object SO
strongly to care of the sick that they
want to tax physicians. $50 year.
They believe the town would be bet
er off if citizens walked around in
shoes run down at the heels. So they
want to penalize all engaged in the
BUSINESS of cobbling by imposition Of

evidently think. that to have paper on

SUICIDE AMONG WORKING
WOMEN AND SITS CAUSE

Some recent statistics from Ger
many show that there has been OF
late great increase in the number OF
suicides by women. While the ratio
of the suicides of men has remained
constant during the last twenty years
the number of suicides among women
has increased from II per cent to st
per cent per 100000 Of the female
population.
The reason for this alarming in.
crease is stated very frankly to be the
ever-growing number of women COM
PEELED to toll in shops and factories
This means that an ever-growing mum.
Der of women are being burdened with
more than they can endure and also
that they are being exposed to great
er economic and social dangers"
That the cause is an economic one
is proved by the fact that the great.
est increase of women suicides is in
Berlin and also in other large indus
trial centers. There where civilization
is supposed to be at its highest; there
where humanityis progress is most
marked, an eyer-increasing number OF
women find the struggle for life toe
terrible and prefer death. (
They do not prefer death to life
They would love to, live. That is why
they refuse to live on the terms that
CAPITALISM offers them.
It is not that they do not want tc

Successful Quest Of Special

Tribe Of Southern Arizona
Ab0rigines

The quest of the government of the
United States for an ancient and i'm
pOrtant document, supposed to exist
among the archives of a tribe of
Arizona Indians has just been brought
to a successful end, though it is stated
that the result is not entirely satisfac
tory to the agent of the government
who had chal &c of the expedition.
\ great many years ago group Of
these Indians lived on Spanish land
grant in the southern part of the state.
Some white man from the east, whose
name has been withheld visited the
Indians and entered into some sort g.
agreement under which they We're to
relinquish their claim to half the grant
As the territory was rot part of the
public domain they were able to trans
fer in this manner whatever interest
they might have in the territory oc-
cupied by them.
Whatever arrangement was made,
was entered into with ten chiefs of the
tribe all of concurrent powers, and il
was supposed that some contract had
been signed. the white man retaining
one, and enc Of the chiefs the other.
All the government knew of this con
tract it gained from the heirs of the
white man who died many years ago.
The last of the ten chiefs has been
dead three years.
The heirs filed a suit in the court of
private land claims for a confirmation
of their interest in the grant and the
matter was referred to the Indian bu-
reau. which sent a special agent to
Arizona a couple of weeks ago to
ascertain if such contract as had
been described by the heirs, existed
among the Indians. The agent arrived
at Tucson, where he outfitted for a
journey to the Indian village 125 miles
distant. over the desert. The expedi-
