ATTACK ON LOW WAGES
IS DEEMED ESSENTIAL
All Forces for Betterment Should
Join Hands, Says Frank
P. Walsh.

CHICAGO, February 2o.-A plea that
all the forces which are striving for
the betterment of the human race join
in an attack on low wages and the
resultant indecent standard of living
was voiced here today by Frank p.
Walsh. chairman of the federal indus
trial relations commission, before
meeting of the City Club of Chicago.
Let US have a new declaration of
war and a good mobilization" he said.
It hold that every organization We
have for good should strike a blow
at the main offender. low wages"
The speaker deplored what he char
acterized as a divided army for good
which faced a solid phalanx-'the allies
Of sin and suffering, Of disease and pre-
mature DEATH
Blunder in Division.
when we divide our forces into
three great battalions, those working
for better economic conditions, those
working for better social conditions
and those working for better moral
conditions, we make a monumental
blunder." he said. Lines cannot be
drawn between the economic. social
and moral life Of people. They rise or
fall together and economic conditions
always dominate.
IT those who are concerned with So
cial and moral betterment would join
those Of US who are primarily con-
cerned with establishing economic JUS
tice; if they would help to force bet
ter wages, decent standard of living,
a better environment, more leisure and
less laborious situations on 80 per
cent of the people, we could cut their
work at least in half"
