an income is not received by fully one half of the wage earners employed in in dustry.
 3. The natural resources of the United States are such that an indus trial population properly educated and efficiently organized can produce enough to achieve this standard of living.
 Women and Children in Industry.
 ''The investigation and hearings of the commission justify the conclu- sions:-
 1. As result of their unprotected condition, women and children are ex- plotted in industry. trade, domestic service, and agriculture, to an extent which threatens their health and well fare and menaces the we'll being of future generations.
 2. The competition of women and children is a direct menace to the wage and salary standards of men.
 3. Under present conditions, chill dren are permitted by their parents to go to work largely because their earn ings are necessary for support of the rest of the family. The restrictive legislation of the past quarter century,
  ultimate results has thrown a heavy burden upon their fathers and mothers who, at existing wages, have been barely able to support their families. The evidence shows that the burden of child labor legislation has rested up on the wage earners rather than upon employers. It is the testimony of enlightened employers that the em- ployment of children is unprofitab ble, and that the effect of excluding chill dren from factories has been to in crease rather than decrease profits. In the interests of society as whole, further restrictions on the employ ment of immature children are nec- essary, but it is important that they should be made with an understanding that the burden will rest primarily upon the wage earners, whose self- sacrifice should be fully recognized. Two Primary Causes. A. The increasing employment of women has been due to two primary l causes: First, the low wages of men, l which have made the earnings of women necessary for the support of ! the family, and. second, the induce l ment to employers to substitute wom- | en for men because they will accept l lower wages and are less likely to pro- test against conditions. The substitu- 1 tion of women for men has been great l ly assisted by the introduction of inn l proved machinery, which makes

ed the motion on the ground that the acts complained of were we'll known to the defendants and that to require the government to furnish de- tailed charges would impose an un- necessary burden on it, as we'll as consume considera ble time in prepar- ation.
 Delay of six months to year, it is estimated, will result from the ruling of the court.
 As to the application of the statute of limitations, Judge Hunts opinion reads:
 For three years prior to the in dictment embraced within the statute of limitations, the defects alleged in the bill of complaint are sufficient; but for the period prior to the date limited by the statute of limitations, the defects alleged in the bill arc not sufficient.

Federal Judge Hunt Holds That Charges Against Road Officials
 Are too Vague.

New York, Aug. 25.-Federal Judge Hunt yesterday decided that the gov- ernment must furnish additional particulars to William Rockefeller and some of the defendants under indictment on charge of criminal conspiracy to violate the provisions of the Sherman law in connection with their administration of the affairs of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company
 The charge that there was a con- spiracy formed about 1890, whichex- isted thereafter, should be particu- larized, the court held, "by state melt of the basic facts showing the creative features"
 Mr. Rockefeller and about a dozen of the nineteen past and present di- rectors under Indictment sought lo have the government detail specified violations covered in it's charge. They complained that the charge was in definite in many respects

 The statement was prompted by in- quiries from Mexico regarding re- ports that the Pan-American con- ference had in view the suggestion of

strength and technical skill unneces- sary.
 5. The increased employment of women, under present working condi tions, is serious menace to their own health and well-being, to the wages of their husbands and brothers and to the ideals of family life upon which American civilization has been estab- lished.
 6. The conditions under which women are employed in domestic serv- ice and in agriculture merit the at tention of the nation no less than does their employment in manufacturing and trade. Not only is the economic condition of women employed in agri- culture and domestic service a matter of grave concern, but they are subject to overwork, unreasonable hours, and personal abuse of various kinds, from winch they have been largely reliev- ed in factories and stores through agitation and legislation.
 Rendered Doubly Hard.
 r The position of women in in- dustry has been rendered doubly hard by reason of their lack of training for industrial work, by the oversup- ply of such labor and the consequent competition, by their traditional po- sition of dependence, and by their disfranchisemenr
 8. A very thorough investigation in the New England states failed to show a single manufacturer who had left a state as result of restrictive factory legislation. On the contrary, the majority of manufacturers ex- pressed the opinion that the legisla tion regulating conditions for women and children had been advantag to the industry as whole, particular ly because it placed all competitors upon the same footing. Similarly, an investigation of the effects of mini mum wage legislation failed to show any calculable effects upon the cost of production, or upon the employ ment of women, after a sufficient per- 1 iod had elapsed to allow the necs- l sary radjustments to be made. Government Takes Hand. | g. Nevertheless, there is a strong
 and increasing demand on the part of manufacturers in the more progress
 sive states that regulation of factory 1 conditions should be undertaken by l the federal government, in order
 that competitors in all parts of the country should be placed upon an
 equal footing in this respect. The
 same demand comes also from the
 representatives of labor, not only
 because the argument of Interstate ] competition" is creating strong op- l position to progressive legislation, but | because of the great economy of eff | fort which would result from hav- 1 ing to make the fight for better leg l islation only ut the national capital | instead of in forty five states.'' Tt is suggested that the commits | sion recommend:
 l. The recognition both by publi>, opinion and in such legislation as | may be enacted of the principle that women should receive the same com- l pensation as men for the same ser l vice.
 2. Until this principle is recogniz- i ed and women are accorded equal po- | ltlcal rights, the extension of state 1 protection of women, through legis-
 lation regulating working conditions, ] hours of service, and minimum wages ! is highly desirable.

INDUSTRIAL UNREST
 DUE TO LOW WAGES
Many Remedial Measures Suggest
 ed in Commissions Report

Chicago. Aug. 25.-The second sec- ton of the final report of Director Basil M Manly, embodying the find ings of fact and conclusions of the staff of the United States commission cn industrial relations, was made pub lie by the commission today.
 Its principal feature is portrayal Of living and working conditions that prevail in American industry today. Evidence is presented at great length irl support of the reports findings to the effect that industrial unrest is caused by the payment of wages too tow to provide a decent standard of living wages. Many. Remedial Measures.
 The section made public today also recommends many remedial measures. Among the recommendations is a strong argumen ent urging equal political rights for women as one of the means by which women in industry may ob- tain living wages.
 Other parts of the report deal with women and children in industry, with conditions of employment in the tele- phone service, the telegraph service, the Pullman company, and the rail- roads.
 State of Feudalism.
 One of the most striking findings presented today concerns the existence of many typical industrial communi- ties that are declared to present every aspect of state of feudalism, with employers controlling the social and political life and abridging the fun Gamental rights of citizens.
 Conclusions and recommendations relating to living and working co Nli- tions of labor are stated as follows:
 Conclusions Justified.
 "As a result of the investigations which have been made the following conclusions are justified:
 1. The welfare of the state de- mands that the useful labor of every able-bodied workman should as a minimum be compensated by sufficient income to support in comfort himself wife, and at least three minor chil- dren, and in addition to provide for sickness, old age, and disa bility Un- der no other conditions can a strong ccntented and efficient citizenship be developed.
