low WAGES CAUSE industrial
UNREST DECLARES COMMITTEE
AFTER MAKING INVESTIGATION

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-"we find
the basic cause OF Industrial dissat-
lsfaction is due to low wages, or.
stated in another way, to the fact
that workers of the nation through
compulsory or oppressive methods.
legal and Illegal, are denied the full
product Of their toll"
Declaring that the extent and
depth Of Industrial unrest can hard
IN be exaggerated. Chairman Walsh.
Of the Industrial relations commit.
tee today announced this finding in
a report which was concurred in by
Commissioners John b Lennon, Jas.
O'Donnell and Austin B. Garretson
Walsh pointed out the concentration
of wealth in the hands of few,
charged oppression and violence by
employers and the turning Of courts,
legislatures and governors to defeat
Justice. The unrest described was
declared to be the --latest manifesto
tion Of the age long struggle Of the
race for freedom of opportunity, OF
every individual to live a life to its
highest ends"
Congress and the people of the ma
tlon were urged to give the findings
and conclusions of the report "the
most earnest consideration to the end
that evils which threaten to defeat
American ideals and destroy the wen
being Of the nation may be generally
recognized and effectively checked" "
Chairman Walshs report follows:
Charged by your honorable body
with the investigation to discover the
underlying causes Of dissatisfaction
IN the industrial situation. we present
the following findings and conclu'
sions.
1--WE find the basic cause Of indus
trial dissatisfaction to he low wages
or. stated in another way, to the fact
that workers of the nation through
compulsory or oppressive methods
legal and illegal. are denied the full
product of their toll,
1--WE further find that unrest am
ong workers of industry has grown
TO such proportions that it already
menaces the social good will and
peace of the nation, Citizens mum

bitterness, bred Of untitled need

ter for themselves, their wives ana
children has been further nourished
In the hearts OF these millions with
resentment against the arbitrary pow
er that enables the employer, under
our present Industrial system to con-
troll not only the workman's opportu
nifty to earn his bread, but oftentimes
through the exercise Of this power
to dictate social political and moral
environment With the thwarting Of
human passion for liberty and the
solitude Of the husband and father for
his own, modern industry is kindled
with a spirit In these dissatisfied mill
lions that lies deeper and springs
from nobler impulses than physical
need and human selfishness. Among
these millions and their leaders we
have encountered a spirit, religious
in fervor and willingness to sacrifice
for a cause held sacred We earnest
ly submit that only in the light ot
this spirit can the aggressive prop.
aganda Of the discontented be under
stood and judged
I The report points out that minis
ters. professors writer's and others
have come to the support Of the mil
/ liant labor campaign recently and
/ continues:
eve find the unrest herein describ-
ed to be but the latest manifestation
of the age-long struggle Of the race
for freedom Of opportunity for every
individual to live its life to the high
est ends. As the mobiles Of England
wrung independence from King JOhT
and as the tradesmen of France broke
/ through the ring Of privileges enclos'
ing the three states, so today millions
who serve society in arduous labol
on the highways aloft on scaffoldings
or by the sides Of whirring machines
are demanding that they too, ant
their cildren enjoy all the blessing
that justify and make beautiful thi
l'fe."
