CHARLOTTE WALKER
 IN REX BEACH PLAY

Charlotte Walker. the famous star of the legitimate stage who has met with tremendous success in the few motion picture productions in which she has appeared. has been placed under con tract to appear in a dramatization of "Pardners,' one of the famous stories of Rex Beach. Miss Walker already has started work in Bedford Park, x. Y. and will remain there for per iod of at least several weeks. She will be directed by George Wright a noted actor and photOdramatist who is achieving splendid success as a pro duccr of high class pictures. The mem hers of the supporting company have rot yet been announced but il is said that Miss Walker will be surrounded by q stellar cast in the picture
 The great majority of people will best remember Miss Walker by her su- purh work in The Trail of the Lone some Pine" play in which she has appeared with tremendous success. Previous to her appearance in this play she had won splendid reputa- ton by the genius that she displayed in other productions.
 The Trail of the Lonesome Pine
 raised her so high in the estimation of the playgoing public that she ventured into the motion pictures and she met with instantaneous success. Her pie lures have not been many, but each one of them released has proven q
 most powerful attraction. Her name
 first drew attention to her silent dra- ma work and then her ability com manded the most enthusiastic praise.
 Miss Walker is an exponent of al
 that is worthy and artitsic in the pie lures just as she championed the best aspects of the stage. Gifted with the genius to depict all shades of emotion

Washington-Public school teach

cussing trade unionism. In call
signed by nearly 100 of these edu-
Gators it is said;
every class of people in the coun-
try including capital, labor and the
professions, have nationwide organ
izations for their protection and we'll

an unorganized condition.
"The teachers of this country,

more than any other class of people,
the future of the republic, and have

mot be put upon the consumption of
the poor. And that they should be
derived from the social values, created
by the people, but which are now in
great degree monopolized by the
powerful few.
The Commission recommends such
readiustment of the credit system
! that the sources of money shall be
directly available to borrowers who
need credit in productive energy. 1t
recommends that all land, water
power and mineral sights secured
from the government by fraud shall
be regained by vigorous and unrelent-
ing prosecution; that the doctrine of
superior use shall be embodied in a
revision of our land laws and that all
unused lands shall be forced into use

land the same as on productive land
of the same kind, and eXempting all

LABOR'S NEEDS IGNORED
The tremendous Importance to labor
and the value to labor of being repre-
scented by it's own direct representa-
tives in the national Congress are
brought home wildly by the findings
and recommendation of the Commits
sion on Industrial Relations. The
vital necessity of having a large and
effective labor group in Congress is
also brought home wildly by the
problems now confronting this Con-
gress and by the conflict now going
on there between powerful special
interests on the one side and the al
most unguarded public on the other
In spite of the splendid work of the
small labor group now IN Congress
the rights of labor are receiving but
scant attention. What will this Con-
gress do toward establishing the right
basis of industrial relations which it
has now virtually recognized by its
action in printing the report and testi-
mony of the Walsh Commission? The
answer to these questions will largely
depend upon the pressure eXerted
upon Congress by the intelligent and
well-informed working men and
women of the nation.
The Committee on Industrial Re-
/ lations, which has been ceaselessly
on the job to get the report and testi-
mony printed, congratulates these
workers on having for their use testi-
mony and information which, in the
words of Chairman Walsh, has come
from the hearts and the lives and
the daily experiences of the working
people"

(From Committee on Industrial r.


lations, Washington, D. c.
Washington.-The results of the
most widespread searching and fear
less investigation of economic and
industrial conditions that was ever
undertaken and successfully prose
cuted in this country are now made
available to the American people by
the action of Congress and the Presi-
dent in authorizing the printing and
distribution of 100000 copies of the
final report of the United States Com
mission on Industrial Relations and
10000 sets of the testimony and ex-
hibits brought out by the Commission
at its hearings of 1914-1915 The re-
port and testimony will be ready for
distribution as soon as they can come
from the Public Printer
The joint resolution by which this
printing is to be done especially en-
phasized the main report of the Com
mission, submitted by Basil NJ. Manly,
director of research and investiga-
ton, and signed by the chairman of
the Commission, Frank P. Walsh, and
the three labor members of the Com
mission, John B. Lennon, James
O'Connell and Austin B. Garretson.
The conclusions and proved find
IN oe of Tho Commission forcad recOo-
milton by Congress and now have the
sanction, if not the specific endorse
ment of the national lawmaking body
"a sanction or approval given in re-
Spouse to the unparalleled expression
of popular confirmation of the Com
missions findings and of the recon-
mendations of the Commission con-
tanned in its main report. Some of
these proved conclusions are:
That the sources from which in
dustrial unrest springs are:
1. Unjust distribution of wealth
and income.
2. Unemployment and denial of an
opportunity to earn living,
8. Denial of justice in the creation,
in the adjudication and in the admin
istration of the law.
4. Denial of the right and oppor-
tunity to form effective organizations.
FACTS PRESENTED
The printing of the testimony as
well as of the report will place in
every workingman's library and
every library of social and economic
students the facts to prove that vast
numbers of the nations workers re-
ceive wages too low to maintain a
decent existence for themselves and
their families that the economic
power of the employers in industries
where the wage earners are unor-
ganized either has made them politi-
cal and social dctators as we'll as
industrial dictators, or has left the
workers with political freedom of
little immediate value and in glazing
contrast VIII Iu6E cCOiAoihlS ouo
serviency; and finally that only
through organization among them
selves and with their own leaders can
the wage earners rescue not only
themselves, but the community from
situation that is repugnant to and
subyersive of American ideals"
The statement of Chairman Frank
P. Walsh in his separate report now
made available by action of Congress
says:
"The responsibility for the condi-
lions which have been described
above we declare rests primarily upon
the workers, who, blind to their col
lective strength and oftentimes deaf
to the cries of their fellows, have suf-

of their most sacred rights without
resistance. A large measure of re-
sponsibility must, however, attach to
the great mass of citizens who, though
not directly involved in the struggle
beween capital and labor, have failed
to realize that their own prosperity
is dependent upon the welfare of all
classes of the community, and that
their rights are bound up with the
rights of every other individual. But
until the workers themselves realize
their responsibility and utilize to the
full their collective power, no action,
whether governmental or altruistic,
can work any genuine or lasting i'm
provement"
2Gs OF POPULATION OWN 500
OF NATIONS WEALTH
It is now officially declared from
the facts as brought out in the testi-
mony of more than 700 qualified wit
nesses about equally divided among
workers, employers and group not
aligned with either, employees or en-
ployers, and representing all Amerl-
can industries, that the erich" con-
shutting 2 per cent of the population,
own 60 per cent of the wealth of the
nation; and that the poor" repre-
senting IS per cent of the population
own 5 per cent of the wealth or the
nation.
It is now officially shown that be-
tween one-haif and two-thirds OF
American wage earners' families are
living below the standard of decent
subsistence, while about one-third re-
caive such an income as leaves them
in a state of abject poverty.
Among the chief recommendations
of the Commission are that the re-
strictions, legal and illegal, upon the
rights of the workers to organize for
collective bargaining, for the control
of their own conditions of work and
life, shall be removed; that the many
glaring denials of justice to the
workers by courts of justice shall be
prohibited; that the employment ana
use of armed guards and militia TO
overawe workers in the interests or
nrivate exploiters shall be forbidden,
as it is now forbidden in every other
civilized nation.
1t is recommended that the natural
OPPORTUNITIES and resources Of the
public shall be open to the use ana
DEVELOPMENT of those who will use
and develop them productivity.
The evils incident to tenant farm
ing and the evils incident to unem-
ployment and subserviency in the
use of industrial tools are shown TO
he identical in cause and effect and
their remedy both by legislative ac'
ton and by free group action of the
people themselves, is demanded.
DANGEROUS CONCENTRATION OF
WEALTH
Showing by irrefutable testimony
produced at the hearings that the
dangerous concentration of wealth on
the one hand and the bitter poverty
on the other is the result of inequall-
ties in the laws and in the control of
, wealth and credit, the report of the
Commission on Industrial Relations
recommends that the taxing power
shall be used to limit inheritances and
to derive the necessary revenues of
government from taxes on inner
itances, on franchises, on special
privileges and other unearned in
comes rather than on the earned in
comes of wage workers. The Com
mission points out that taxes should

A TARIFF COMMISSION

President Wilson year ago didn't
believe there was any preparedness
issue, and no preparedness program
was undertaken, no preparedness
propaganda was set on foot, no ap-
peal was made in the effort to COM
pei people to understand the truth
about the national dangers. Now, a
year and a half after the beginning
Of war, he is making the appeal that
ought to have been made sooner.
Meanwhile a Congress has been
elected without preparedness being
an issue; the influences that oppose
proper measures for protecting this
country have been a work; the do
mestic pacifists have been active,
and the alien plOtters have had free
hand.
President Wilson at the outset Of
his Administration likewise didn't
believe in a tariff commission. He
didn't think it was needed, or would
be useful. Now he changes front,
and is demanding it. His party is
lined up against it, and he confronts
the need to convert it. If his own
leadership had been from its begin
nings in the right direction, his task
would today be largely accomplished.
But it was in the wrong direction.
If we get preparedness, it will be
tardy preparedness. If we get a tar
if commission, it will be so late that
the needed Investigations into trade
conditions cannot be made in time to
get the country ready for after-the-
war revolutions in industry.
At least, the President is entitled
to credit for changing his mind in
the right direction on these sub
jects. But the need for such
changes, brought about when his
Administration has passed through
three-fourths of its allotted span,
assuredly is not calculated to inspire
much confidence in the leadership
that must about-face so often and
emphatically.
The Washington times., 1916-01-29

where it can be employed. This diff
ficulty will be far greater after the
war, because the overdeyelopment
Of certain industries will have ag
gregated great numbers Of workers
in places where their employment
will pretty precipitately leave them
after peace is restored.
Yet there are other developments
which show how these economic
conditions adjust themselves. In
some communities it is harder than
for many years past to get women
workers at all; wages for the male
members Of the family have become
so high that the family exchequer
does not demand the contribution of
the female members, and the girls
refuse to work at any wages they
can get. The tendency to what
might be called initiation Of the
labor supply thus automatically
checks itself to certain extent.
The Washington times., 1916-01-29
HOSIERY AS AN EXAMPLE

One New York firm reports that
it is exporting twenty times as
much hosiery as before the war.
Germany formerly was the worlds
great hosiery maker, providing even
England and her colonies with a
great share of their supplies. Ger
many being driven out of trade, the
orders have turned to the United
States. Accompanying this devel-
opment, there has been a great ad-
vance in the cost Of materials, Silk,
which in this country at least, is in
vastly greater demand for hose
than ever before, has increased more
than so per cent in price. Dyes are
much higher. South Africa, Rus
sia, South America, Australasia, and
England are all demanding our
hosiery.
Something like a crisis in the
business impends because the big sur
pluses of hosiery that were on hand
at the beginning OF the war, due 10
a period Of overproduction, are now
exhausted, and the mills find it diff
ficult to get the labor they need
1t may seem strange that shrapnel
should interfere with stockings; yet
one manufacturer declares that he
has hosiery mill in a town where
war munitions are also made
The munitions establishments have
drawn away the young women from
the hosiery establishment, and the
latter is now operating at about
one-third its capacity.
This suggests the difficulties
constantly increasing, Of distribut,
ing labor to the places where it ID
needed. Factories can't be picked
up and freighted off to places where
the labor is available; and it is al
most as difficult in many cases tC
! transport needed labor TO the point
