SECOND REPORT
GIVEN TO PUBLIC
Principal Reason for Labor Un-
rest Stated to be Low
WAGES,

Kansas City. Mo.-Low wages is
the reason assigned as the basic
cause of industrial unrest in the re-
port which Frank p. Walsh, chairman
or the federal commission on indus
trial relations and the labor members
OF that body will present to Congress
as the result of that commissions
two-year's investigation into that
subject
The report. embodying the findings
OF Mr.. Walsh and concurred in by
Commissioners Lennon. O'Conneu and
Garretson was made pG3lic here.
The workers of the nation.
through compulsory and oppressive
methods. legal and illegal, are denied
the full product of their toll" is de.
clared in the report, and the re-
sulting industrial dissatisfaction has
reached proportions that already
menace the social good will and the
peace of the nation"
Report 8Iames the Workers.
Responsibility for the condition un.
der which they live was placed pri.
marily upon the workers themselves
who. blind to their collective
strength and oftentimes deaf to the
cries of their followers, have suffered
explorations and the invasion of
their most sacred rights without re-
sistance.'
Excerpts from the Report.
Courts, legislatures and governors
have been accused rightfully of serv-
ing employers to the defeat of JUS
tice, and, while counter charges come
from employers and their agents, with
almost negligible exceptions, it is the
wage-earners who believe, assert and
prove that the very institutions of
their country have been perverted by
the power of the employer.
ITO the support of the militant and
aggressive propaganda of organized
labor has come, within recent years,
a small but rapidly increasing host OF
ministers, college professors. writer's,
Journalists and others OF the profess
sional classes.

OPPOSED TO BIG ARMY.
Poll of 10000 Ministers Shows Them
Against Armament.

New York, May '3l.-Ministers
throughout the country, regardless Of
creed, are almost a unit in denouning
the present agitation for increased
ornaments on the part of the United
States, according to a statement is
sued by the Church Peace Union,
founded by Andrew Carnegie, of
which Bishop David II. Greer is pres
ident.
The statement is based on the re-
ports of poll made by the union in
which 10000 ministers were quest
toned. More than 95 per cent of the
answers received declared that they
were strongly opposed to the agita-
ton being conducted for increasing
ornaments. A large majority of the
answers were emphatic ir their in
dorsement of President Wilson's SEN
timent that any agitation of the
question o "unpreparedness is unfor-
tunate at just this stage"
DR.. Frederick Lynch, secretary OF
the union, says that the fact which
seems to have made the greatest i'm.
preston on the minds of the ministers
is that where there has been no arna.
ments there has been no talk of war
Some of the most striking com
ments in the answer were:
81 and my small flock are bitterly
opposed to increased ornaments" 'T1

have war just as they have in .Eu

GoMPERs AND TAFT
Labor Leader Denonnces Former
Presidents Criticism /

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, was
emphatic in his denunciation OF the
criticisms of organized, labor by for
mer President Taft, in his address
before the National Association Of
Manufacturers in New York, We'd
nesday night.
"It is very appropriate that Mi.
Taft should go before that association;
that discredited crowd of rich gang
sters; that gang repudiated by the
Congress of the United States, ana
attack organized labor, which IS
working for the common uplift of hu-
manity. 1t is most fitting indeed,
that he should repeat his old stuff
against labor before such gather
ing"
Mr.. Gompers made no concealment
of his Indignation. He suggested that
if he were to express himself freely
what he would say might not look we'll
in print.
"There is really nothing new IN
what Mr.. Taft has said" he observed.
'He said the same things last Sep
TENDER and l replied to them then.
He has not changed his mind since
because he has given the subject nc
new thought. Neither has his mlnc
changed since the day when, as q
iudpe on the Federal bench, he was
interpreting the laws in opposition
TO the workingman. l take it as 2
great pity that a former President
of the United States should speno
his time in opposing labor before the
discredited National Manufacturers
Association" :.
Frank Morrison, secretary OF the
Federation said.
"The public. statements OF Mr.
Taft are In entire accord with ms
antilabor policy as President Of the
United States and in complete sym
pathy with his opinions as member
Of the Federationu dietary"

80 per cent of the colts were black. But
for practical purposes black nearly al
ways breeds true.
Chestnut crossed with bay frequently
gives a blend. For example, 50 per cent
of several hundred foals were bay, Al
per cent chestnut and the rest black
or brown. Chestnut and brown also
blend. giving about 80 per cent bay
foals, 25 per cen chestnut and the
rest black and brown in about equal
proportions.
The color is no indication of working
ability. speed or disposition.
To consider the question Of color in
live stock breeding Is certainly a wise
thing to do, but it should be secondary
to other more important qualities, such
as vigor. size and soundness. Some
times a certain color has been so estab-
l1shed-for instance, the white in the
White Leghorn or the face Of the Here
ford-that it has ceased to be a draw
back since it is no trouble to maintain
it. But color style has worked to the
great damage of some Of the best
breeds. Wherever the color scheme
causes the rejection Of good animals
because of faulty color it is a vicious
sort Of dual purpose breeding.
