Two years ago Mr. Walsh and his as.
sociates were charged with tho duty of
1quirirg into and reporting upon the
Gauges OF social unrest. By the terms
Of the law under which they are acting
they are authorized TO report 10 con-
gress from time To time. but their con
clusions must be submitted not later
than Aug, %. next.
While the commission he's rendered
only one preliminary report to congress
Mr.. Walsh has made frequent reports
to the newspapers. and it is in response
to some o. these that Mr. Rockefeller
has been heard from in self defense.
An experienced lawyer. Mr.. Walsh
must know that the service in which he
is engaged is in n sense judicial. and he
cannot be ignorant Of the fact that the
irregular Judgments passed by him up.
on men and things are shockingly i'm.
proper.
These expressions have been so nu'
merous and scandalous that most peo
pie now ses very plainly that
the whole costly inquiry must come tc

stroyed Mr.. Walsh. MIR Walsh has d,
