indianapolis, Ind, April %
Under the caption ''Where Ben
evidence Falls down." the United
Mine Workers Journal says:
The strike in the John B. Stet-
son hat factory is not receiving
much publicity. This company is
powerful enough to demand that
newspapers smother any allusion
to the strike, and as consequence
1t is only through circulars sent to
the labor press that the fact of the
strike has become known.
The John B. Stetson company
claims TO hold benevolent interest

Industrial Publicity Favored
BY Senate; Work of Com
mission is Ordered
Printed.

Washington, April, 28, BY
yea ana nay vote the senate, last
Monday, ordered printed 100, 600
copies of the report and 10000
copies Of the testimony taken by
the recent con- mission on industrial
relations.
The resolution now goes to the
house for concurrence, as the reso-
luton passed by that body pro-
vided that the report alone be
printed.
Before the final vote il the
senate, Senator Hoke Smith, who
had previously blocked considera-
tion of the resolution, notified his
colleagues that ! will oppose the
motion, bat / will not endeavor to
prevent the senate voting n it "
The Georgia lawmaker insisted that
the expenditure Of 800, 900 10 print
he testimony was waste of money
ard that the p,inted volumes would
be speedily thrown ont as junk
after being received
Several senators differed with
this statement aud declared that
not only workers, but Libraries and
universities, have asked for copies
of the testimony, which was secured
at cost OF nearly half a million
dollars.
There was no opposition to print
ing the report of the commission.
This consists Of 6pal recommoda-
tions by the various groups of the
commission. The testimony Of wit
nesses who appeared before the
commission, however, tells its own
story 1t lays bare two mining
conditions in Colorado; of the SOU
thern tenant farmer and cotton
mill worker; of the textile opera
tive in the east and south; of the
mig ratory worker in the west, aud
in graphic manner shows present
day industrial conditions in every
section of the country.
This feature OF the commissions S
work is evidently distasteful t the
element that fears publicity, aud
which hes raised the cry economy
il an effort to suppress the first at
tempt of the government to secare
information relative to our econo-
mic life.
A maj )ritv of the senator's, how
ever, did not believe this informa
ton should be buried after spend
ing such vast sum to secure it
and they ordered the report printed.
1t Is estimated that the testimony
will comprise about dozen vol
umes of 500 pages each and the re
port will consist of one volume IF
the same number of pages. 1t is
intended that each senator and con
gresham b. allotted number of
both documents for public distri
button and the superintendent of
documents will be authorized to
print additional copies, according
to the law governing the sale of
public documents.

COMpE:RS FOR
PREPAREDNESS
Urges on Organized Labor the
Need Of National Defense.
FAVORS A RESERVE ARMY.

Duty Of All Citizens to Be In Readiness
to Maintain Our National ideals and
Free institutions - Care Must Be
Taken That Preparedness Be Not
Perverted Into Mlitarism.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor recent
" sent an official reply to the unions
which have adopted resolutions and
taken referendums against prepared
ness. Among the organizations which
have adopted such resolutions are the
Central Federated union Of New York
city and the Cleveland Federation Of
Labor Mr. Gompers in his letter adj
dressed to the labor officials and un-
ions Of Cleveland says in part
The resolutions introduced are a col
lection of incongruous and irrelevant
matters. There are several statements
with which no one could differ, but
they are presented without regard to
cause or effect and with total misun-
derstanding Of their relation to the
general subject Of preparedness.

lutions are so contradictory IN thought
and so remotely related ! do not see
how 1t would be possible to vote In
telligently on the whole. Several of
the matters no one could oppose, and
yet the haphazard assemblage of these
facts together leads nowhere and seeks
to create a false Impression of the gen
eral purposes Of the movement for pre-
paredness.
The resolutions are based upon the
false concept that preparedness is iden-
tical with militarism.
True preparedness must be a general,
comprehensive national plan for the
best development of the citizens OF the
country, the wisest and most econom-
ical use of our national resources, the
best industrial and commercial instltu-
tions and organization. In other words,
preparedness Is readiness to take adj
vantage of whatever opportunities are
presented and to maintain our national
ideals and our institutions of freedom.
