Commission S Report
Should Be Distributed

Racine, Wis, Sept. 15.-"Get busy
with your congressman" is the advice
Of the Racine Call in urging the widest
publicity of the Manly report to the
commission on industrial relations.
This paper says:
"The same interests that tried to
prevent publication of the Manly
report to the commission on industrial
relations may be depended upon to
try to block it's distribution. Therefore
it behooves voters to be prompt and
early in asking their congressman for
copies. Nor should they let themselves
be put off with the reply that the
supply has been exhausted. Let
congress spend less for documents that
nobody reads or cares for and more
to print sufficient supply of report
like this, which will be for years to
come. a valuable reference work.
mot only should wide circulation
be given the Manly report, but its
should not be
to quietly slumber. The
plutocratic press is already at work
trying to arouse prejudice against it
while studiously refraining from any
fair discussion of its contents. The
aim and hope of the predatory inter.
ests is that congress will contemutp.
ously disregard it. So it is up tola Dor
organizations, farmers organizations,
organizations Of useful business men
and public spirited citizens organiza.
tons generally to get busy at once
and insist on immediate enactment
Of legislation by congress in line with
its suggestions. Now is the time to
act. Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the
commission on industrial relations,
has done his work well. So also have

TO DISTRIBUTE
~. EAsTLAND FUND

Chicago, Sept 15.-The Eastland
relief fund, contributed by Chicago
citizens, is now being distributed. The
fund approximates 100000. It was
found that the funeral expenses alone
Of the. 816 victims totaled about
100000. In one case a funeral
director, who had a bill for $2,100, cut
off $500 at the suggestion of the
committee. CThe relief funds of the
Western Electric company cut the
amount expended for funerals more
than half. :
The distribution Of the remaining
fund will affect $500 persons, includ
ing nearly 200 widows. 1t was found
that rs families were entirely wiped
out in the disaster - mother, father
and children drowned. In some cases
where young wife was left absolutely
penniless and helpless, with two or
three small children, the largest
allotments will be made. In the case
of widows and minor children the
fund will be held in trust or invest
ment and paid out in installments,
both principal and interest.
