MEANEST FOES or
INDUSTRIAL UPLIFT
Glass Who Resist Efforts Of
Labor For Improvement.

Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the
federal industrial relations commission,
In a recent address before the City
club of Chicago made a plea for the
cooperation and not the separate ef-
forts of religious, philanthropic, eco
nomic and social workers toward the
game end.
I'VE regard with greater admira-
don," said Walsh, "the so called cap
tain Of industry who has shot his way
to tremendous riches through the ranks
of his employees than he who has gain
ed economic independence by an In
vention which has lightened toll and
sweetened life.
"Of dozen classes one that is the
worst is that large class OF hckspit-
ties who have little or nothing them
selves but side with and work for bad
conditions because they get, or vaguely
hope to get, moiety Of general steal
age.
This class is so large and their com
bined efforts so yitally assist In keep
ing alive rotten conditions that they
deserve to rank ahead of other dfvi-
sions. They are oft dubbed little
brothers OF the rich usually vision
less clerks, briefless lawyers and so
called leaders of thought who ought
to be buffers.
ITO them every protest is dema-
gogic. Upon meager salaries them
selves, they are hopelessly submerged,
but submissive and servile. They are
products Of false teaching, mean ambi-
ton, personal weakness. Because many
OF them are not conscious of wrongdo-
ing | place them among minor Offend
ers.
"But look at the other side of the
economic ledger. There you will find
the millions who are the victims Of
these profit mongers and lawbreakers

their rightr would be to endanger
their employment. Many of them

To The Public
Facts Of The Trouble At
The F. P. Lewis Cigar
Factory, Peoria, Ill.
A Statement of the Actual COndi-
tions That Led Up to the
lockout OF Employees.

Prior to April 6, 1914, the en-
ployes received $1,000 per thou
sand for making and packing the
Single Binder Cigar.
On April ., 1914, wages were re-
duced to 5000 per thousand for
making and packing this cigar.
The average wages during 1914
were $3.50 per week.
On January IL, 1915, a further
reduction of one dollar was made.
The employees being informed that
the Single Binder would have to
be made and packed for So. 90 per
thousand.
Based on the amount of cigars
made in 1914, the average wages
for 1915 would be SO. 45 per week.
SlO.45 per week is not sufhcien,
wages for even a single man to ex-
ist upou, while over 90 per cent oi
the employees are married and have
families to support.
From this it is evident that the
Directors OF the Lewis Cigar com
pany have determined to establish
sweat shep conditions in the cigar
industry in Peoria.
Under the Union Scale the Levi:
Single Binder Cigar is $50 pei
thousand.
We Are Expected To Make L
For $500 Per Thousand.
Other conditions hampering the
employees have been imposed upor
the men.
The Directors of the Lewis Cigar
Company refuse to grant any re-
lief aud have locked out all of theil
employees.
They have stated in the press
that swift workmen can make
S32. 90 per week and the slow ones
81 60 per week.
This Is An Absolute Falsehood.
AS matter of fact many of the
men do not make over 200 or 250
cigars per day. The wages OF
these men at $S 90 per thousand
can readily be seen.
According to the public press one
of the Directors stated that this
condition does not concern the pub
lie. We contend that the reduc-
ton of the standard ef living of
over 100 citizens does concern the
public most vitality, and as citizens
of Peoria over 40 per cent of whom
are property owners, and over 20
per cent of whom have been en-
ployed in this factory for over FIVE
years, and 35 per cent of whom
nave worked there for over 10
years, we ask assistance of the peo-
pie of Peoria and elsewhere in our
effort to protect ourselves from
sweat shop conditions and starva-
ton wages that the Directors of
the Lewis Cigar Company are at
to force upon US.
Respectfully submitted,
The employees OF F. P. Lewis

Charges Not Sus-
tanned.
Federal Judge Dayton Escapes
Impeachment Proceedings.
SCOTCH VERDICT is RENDERED
Apeiogetic Report Made By Com
mittee, Case Will Be Reopened
at Next Congress

Washington, March, 19.-"Not
guilty, but don't do it again." is
the sum total Of the majority COM
mittee's report that Investigated
charges against Federal Judge
Dayton.
The charges were preferred by
Representative Neely, of West
Virginia, and referred to the iu-
dietary of the House with irstruc-
tions to investigate the matter. A
subcommittee was appointed, con-
sisting of Representatives Gard of
Ohio, Danferth of New York, and
| McGillicuddy of Maine The two
former reported against further ac-
ton, while the latter reported that
the evidence warrants further
proceedings looking toward i'm
peachment."
The majority report states that
Judge Dayton son was appointed
attorney for the B. & O. railroad
almost Immediately upon his ad-
mission to the bar" The commit
tee is confident that Judge Dayton
did not abuse his power and iEflu-
ence to further the interests Of his
son.
Referring to drastic labor in
junction issued by Judge Dayton,
the committee deemed it not pro-
per" to make comment because the
case is before the United States Su-
preme court.
The evidence showed that Judge
Dayton held stock in mining COM
panles and during certain ipjunc-
ton proceedings he showed hatred
and bitterness toward miners on
trial. The committee reported lit
is but fair to say that Judge Dayton
was laboring under much emotional
excitement" at these trials. and
his conduct was generally that of
one who had prejudged the cases
before him.
While the committee made this
acknowledgment of the unfairness
of Judge Dayton, its defense for re-
fusing to take notice of such un-
judicial procedure was because
the circumstances surrounding
these trials referred to were very
unusual and probably afforded op-
portunity for aggravation."
These are but few of the many
astonishing statements contained
in the majority report, written in
an apologetic vein, and which clos
es with the following significant
declaration:
The evidence shows many mat
ters of individual bad taste on the
part of Judge Dayton, some not of
that high standard of judicial eth
les which should crown the Federal
judiciary"
The report then recommends
dropping the case because these
two representatives, Gard and Dan
forth, are convinced that there Is
? little possibility of maintaining
I, conclusion of guilt the charges
made.

COL. CASE

A meeting to protest against

labor leader, on charge OF MUIR
der when 1t was admitted by the
prosecution that he was 20 miles
away from where the crime took
place, will mark the Labor day
celebration here, the Central La
Dor council decided last evening.
Martin Flysik, head of the
mine workers for district 10,
which includes the King and
Pierce county coal lands, will
make the address.
Expect 5000 Persons.
Lawson was convicted as a re-
suit of the killing of a mine guard
in the Colorado labor wars. The
Judge who convicted him was spe-
cially named by the governor, and
before his appointment to the
court which convicted Lawson
had been known as a labor-bait-
ing attorney in Rockefeller's en-
ploy.
Plans under way are for the
biggest picnic labor ever held

resented in the parade at IL a. m.

In the afternoon, picnic will
be held at Wright park. 1t will
be there that Flyzik will speak.
Walter Johnson, president of
the local organizations, will be

events will be a dance on the
pavement between Wright park
