(From Committee on Industrial
ReIationS.1

Chicago, June 8.-QSpecial) Frank
P. Walsh, chairman of the Committee
on Industrial Relations, today issued
a statement announcing that he and
other representatives of the Commit
tee will 20 before the committees OF
al party conventions and urge the in
corporation in the party platforms OF
the basic recommendations and prin-
ciples of the U. S. Commission on In
dustrial Relations. He urges wage
earners to insist that the parties de-
clare themselves on the recommenda-
tons submitted to Congress by the
Commission.
Mr. Walsh's statement follows:
Probably at no previous period In
American political history has there
been a time when more effective work
for labor may be realized by joining
together all the forces of democracy
than at present.
The great political parties will
hold their conventions shortly. What
efforts have been are are being m}de
by labor to set before these conven-
lions the needs and desires of the
workers? What is being done to make
effective the splendid progress made
years?
Europe is PROSTATE. America is
prosperous The demand for labor
never was more pressing. The work
ers hold a new and high place in the
estimation of the employers, as we'll
| as in their own. Natural conditions
as well as the unceasing effort of Ia
| Dor leaders and labor bodies, have
given the public striking realization
that prosperity and the we'll being OF
the republic are far more dependent
upon labor than upon capital. 1t is
sensed deeply that even no adequate
l preparation for war, much less for
peace, may be achieved, except by ear
nest thought for the welfare OF the
wage earners.
These truths were driven home
and emphasized by the investigations
of the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations. following it's IN
quiry of over two years into Ameri-
can industry. 1t is necessary that Ia
Dor use not only it's great strength
of numbers, but that the tremendous
weight of new thought brought into
being by the COMMISSIONS investlga-
tons, and the subsequent discussion,
be thrown ntio politics. In this way
the splendid work of the last two
years for democratizing industry may
be made conpellingly effective.
THE findings of the Commission as
to the principal causes of industrial
unrest were:
| Unjust distribution of wealth and
y income.
! Unemployment and denial of the
opportunity to earn a living.
Denial of justice in the creation,
in the adjudication, and in the
| administration of the law
Denial ofthe right and opportunity
to form effective organizations.
IAN effort is to be made by the
i Committee on Industrial Relations,
which has taken up the work of the
federal commission, and no doubt by
1 other democratic forces, to have the
political parties seeking your votes,
incorporate into their platforms the
basic recommendations and principles
of the commission. The committee
will have greater chance for success
if the delegates to the conventions
have been impressed by the workers
and by their labor organizations tha

German Dye Combine.

Word comes from Berlin via Lon
don that German dyemakers are plan
ming a coalition through which they
can strengthen themselves for the
fight that is coming after the war to
regain the markets they have lost.
These German manufacturing chem.
lists understand that some foreign gov
ernments are doing what they can to
encourage the manufacture of dyes in
their own countries. This effort will
be continued through subsidies or tar
ifs or in other ways in the hope of
shutting out German competitors.
Here is another reason why the
American government (Which Is not
one of those that have taken steps to
encourage the manufacture OF dye
stuffs) should hasten to act on the
matter. A coalition of German
manufacturers can mean nothing less
than a great combination, having ev-
cry possible form of government sup
port to enable 1t to fight foreign COM
petitors. The only way this combi-
nation can be fought is by adequate
government protection. And protec-
ton should be of exactly the kind that
American manufacturers understand
that is, the application of tariff duties
which will give our manufacturing
chemists chance to build up their In
dustries.

Roman London lies buried about

there have been discovered tessellated
pavements, Roman tombs. lamps.

When. little over century ago
deep sections were made for the sew
ers in Lombard street. the lowest
stratum was found to consist OF tes-

dice were found lying scattered about.
and above this stratum was thick
layer of wood ashes, suggesting the
debris of charred wooden buildings.
