Injustice
KANSAS CITT, AUflr. 2S.
That the present Industrial unrest that
has nssumed menaclnc proportions In
tho United BUtes Is due largely to low
wages and the "oppressive methods that
used by employers," and that ro
sponslblllty for the conditions as they ex
ist lies almost entirety with the wage
workers themselves, are the outstanding
features of a statement made public to
day by Frank r. Walsh, chalrmnn of tho
federal Commtrslon on Industrial liga
tions. The statement of Chairman Walsh was
In the form of a supplemental report, and
It will be presented to Congress nlong
with the othtr reports of tho commission
that have been mnde public during the
last few days.
In nnrt. Mr. Walsh said!
ii "We find the basic cause of industrial
dissatisfaction to be low wages, or, stated
In another way, tho fact that tho work
ers of tho nation, through compu'sory
and oppressive methods, legal and Illegal,
are denied the full product of their toll.
"We further find that unrest nmong the
workers has grown to proportions that
already menace the social good wilt and
the peace of the nation. Citizens num
bering millions smart under a sense of
Injustice and oppression, born of tho con
viction that opportunity Is denied them
to acquire for themselves and their famil
ies that degree of economic well being
necessary for the employment of those
material and spiritual satisfactions which
alone make life worth living.
"nittcrncss, bred of untitled need for
sufficient food, clothing and shelter for
themselves and their wives and children,
hni been further nourished in the hearts
of theso millions by resentment against
tho irbltrary power that enables the em
ployer, under our present industrial sys
tem, to control not only tho workman's
opportunity to cam his bread, but oft
timer, through tho exercise of this power,
to dictate his social, political and moral
environment. Ily thwarting the human
parslon for liberty and the solicitude of
tho husband and father for his own, mod
em Industry has kindled a spirit In those
dissatisfied millions that Ilea deeper and
sprlnjgs from nobler Impulses than physi
cal need nnrt human selfishness.
FEATURES OF UNREST
"Tho extent and depth of Industrial un
rest can hardly bo exaggerated. State
and national conventions, of labor organ
izations, numbering mnny thousands of
members, have cheered tho names of
leaders Imprisoned for participation In a
campaign of violence, conducted as ono
phase of a conflict with organized em
ployers. Thirty thousand workers In a
single strike have followed the leadership
of men who denounced government and
called for relentless warfare on organ
ized society,
"Employers from coast to coast have
' created and maintained Bmall private
armies of armed men and have used thcsi
forces to Intlmldute and suppress thci.f
striking employes by deporting, Imprison
'n5' nswu"lns nnd Milne their leaders,
blaborato spy systems are mantained to
discover and forestall the movements of
tho enemy. Tho use of State troops in
policing strikes has bred a bitter hostility
to tho nillltln system among numbers of
labor organizations nnd States have been
unablo to enlist wage earners for this
second line of the nation's defense.
-Courts, legislatures nnd governors
have been rightfully accused of serving
employers to tho defeat of Justice, and,
while counter-charges came from em
ployers nnd their agents, with almost
negligible exceptions, it Is tho wage earn
ers who believe, assert and prove that
the very Institutions of their country have
been perverted By tho power of the
employer
PniSON RECORD HONOR.
"Prison records for labor leaders have
beieme badges of honor In tho eyes of
many of their people, and great mass
meetings throughout the nation cheer
denunciations of courts and court de
cisions. "The social responsibility for these
unfortunate conditions may be fixed
with reasonable certainty. The respon
sibility and such blame as attached
thereto cannot "be held to rest upon
employers, since In the maintenance of
the evils of low wages, long hours and
bad factory conditions, and In their at
tempts to gulu control of -economic nnd
political advantages which would pro
mote their Interests, they have merely
followed the natural bent of men Involved
In tho struggle of competitive Industry,
"The responsibility for tho conditions
which have been described above, we de
clare, rests primarily upon workers who,
blind to their collective strength and
oftentimes deaf to the cries of their fol
, lowers, have suffered exploitation and the
Invasion of their most sacred rights with
out resistance.
"A largo measure of responsibility must,
however, attach to the great mass of citi
zens who, though not directly Involved In
the struggle with capital and labor, have
failed to realise that their own prosperity
was dependent upon the. welfare of all
classes of the community and that their
rights were bound up with the rights of
every other .Individual, But, until the
workers themselves realize their responsl
. blllty and utilize to the full their collec
tive power, no action, whether govern
mental or altruistic, can wprk any gen
uine end lasting Improvement"

THE DAILY STOftY
Curing a La-de-dah
By DONALD ALLEN
Copyright by the MeClure Newspaper Syndi
cate. Firstly, what la a lah-de-dahf k
It Is a young man from 8) to 2S. There
aro no old lah-de-dahs on the market.
Why Is the term aplled to a particular
young mnn?
Because he Is rich and without profes
sion or occupation other than to sit In
tho window of a clubhouse, attend a race
now nnd then, and Is always present nt
afternoon teas to demand nnd receive
compliments from Insipid ladles.
Because hn Hung. He doesn't have to,
but ho prefers It.
Hecnuso he says, "Rah Jove!" Instead
of plain old-fashioned "lly thunder!"
Recnuso he thinks that a score of young
ladles want to cntch him for his figure
and his money.
Because he carries around with him n
smnll cane nnd n largo nlr of languldness.
Bccfturo a genealogist has told him that
his great-grandfather was Minister to
Russia.
Becauso his great-grandfather. Instead
of being Minister anywhero nbrond, was
n shoemaker at home.
Becauso If he doesn't get a Jolt or two
beforo ho Is 30 ho will be In some Idiot
asylum beforo ho Is to.
Other "becnuscs" could bo stated, but
the above seem to be sufficient. This
particular specimen of tho lah-dc-dah
tribe was named Claude Ducharme Ha
zleton. When tho name was given htm he
wan young and helpless. Later on a rich
aunt threatened to disinherit htm If ho
changed It to Sam Ward Hazleton, and
he let It stick.
Ills first meeting with Miss Catherine
Bolton was at an afternoon tea party.
She didn't smllo over tho Introduction.
She didn't detain him. She didn't even
mention the weather. It was a sort of
jolt for Claude.
"I thuppoe," ho lisped, "that sho spells
her name Kathryne lioylton?"
"Oh, no." was jcplled. "Miss Bolton Is
very weathy, but at the same time sho
Is very sensible."
"Aw aw glad to hear It, doncher
know."
She left befcro he had another oppor
tunity to address her, and ho was so
piqued that he tried to forget her namo
and face. He hadn't figured It out that
thero was one single sensible girl In so
ciety, nnd tho dlscovory wns a surprise
to him.
Ono of Miss Catherine's Intimates left
the house at the same tlmo .she did.
"Well, you have seen the lisping society
Hits, my name Claude
Idol. What do you think of him?'
she
asked.
"With proper training lie might be made
a man."
"Yes, but where and how Is ho to get
that training?"
"I don't know. I shall have to think
It over."
"But what have you to do with It?"
"Oh, I take up all kinds of missions,
you know."
A week later Mr. Claude Ducharmo
Hazleton was taking his usual saunter on
the avenue when an auto dre.v up to the
curb, and n lady opened the door of tho
tonneau and called: "See here a moment,
my man!"
Claude halted and looked all around for
"my man," but had failed to find him
when the lady continued: "It Is you I
mean."
"Aw awl Can I be of assistance?"
"My chauffeur here has been taken
111."
"Is thath tho?"
"Can you run an auto?"
"Thertlnly, ma'am."
"You lisp, but I shall have to take
tho chances. Jump In and drive me
home."
"But you thee, ma'am "
"I see that you have plenty of time
to obllgo a lady If you choose to do so."
The chauffeur got down and Claude
got up. and ho had a mile to drivo that
auto. In that mile he saw nt least fifty
persons he knew, and who looked at
him In amazement. He wanted to wreck
the machine. He wanted to leap out and
run for his life.
Quccrly enough, when the houso was
reached theie stood tho chauffeur he had
displaced, and ho didn't look a bit like a
man who had been ill.
"You drove very safely," said Miss
Catherine Bolton as she descended.
"Please accept of this."
The "this" was a dollar bill.
"Oh, no, no, no!"
"But I don't' want to take up your tlmo
for nothing, my good man."
Claudo was so dazed and confused that
he let the bill be crowded Into his hand.
The voice and face of the lady seemed
familiar to him. and yet he could not
place them. It could not be any ono In
his set or he would not have been mis
taken for a chauffeur, arcat Scott. Mr.
Claude Ducharme Hazelton taken for a
"my map!"
"There are schools which break you
of lisping," said the lady as she turned
to climb tho steps.
Insult to Injury!
"I ncvah did thee the llketh!" lisped
Claude as he made for the nearest club.
He wanted to get off by himself and
think It over and find out who was who,
and whether he could ever rise from the
humiliation, when a fellow clubman came
dashing up to him to exclaim:
"Shake, me boyl I didn't think you
had It In you!"
"Whalh you mean?"
"Why, to act us a
chauffeur on the
on a wager, of
street. It was done
CUUIBC
"It wath," replied Claude, seeing a
way out of It.
"Hope you've won a thousand,"
"Just five times thath."
"S'death! You'll be the lion of
clubl"
Claude saw a way out of J I.
the
and
worked it to his benefit. No ono
told
him the name of the lady, and he had
dreams about her and went around chuck
Una to himself.
"Dal Jove, but she took thath way of
getting acquainted with me. and I
thought' all the time she was trying to
humiliate mel I hope we may meet
again,"
They did a week later. He was
sauntering about again end stood look
ing Into a store window, when the same
1s4X turned aslda andsjuldi "I have a
'package at the bookstore across ths way
tJnatT want to send hon by a trusty
imna."
"Aw-aw!" he replied, in his surprise.
"Pa you want to earn a quarter?"
"Barn a quarter?"
"Yeas by carrying the package home
for me."
"Madam-mlse I am . no tnesstnaer
bov!"
"Then, excuse me.' I mtry thought
you were hantjln wound for &. Wy.

you must bo ths chauffeur who drove
me home the other day "
"Yeth'm. but " ,
"But you have not lost that llp yet.
Why don't you go to ft surgeon"
"Miss, my name Is Claude '
"Never mind the rest of It I must
find some. one to tako that package. '
She started off before he could say any
more, and at the club no congratulations
awaited him. , . ,
"Aro you getting chummy with Miss
Bolton?" he was asked.
"I don't know the maiden," he replied.
"But I saw you tnlklng on the street
with her this afternoon."
"Oh, wath thath nolton?"
"Who did you think It was?"
"Hal Jovr, butI didn't know, ye know,
And who the devil Is Bolton?"
"Don't be a fool Claudo. She's an helr
ress and a sensible girl. A score of us
are wondering what sho could hao to
eny to you."
"Rsl Jove, but she took me for n shot
fer n few days ago."
"I don't blame her."
"And thee took me for nn errand boy
yesterday."
"Very good, that."
"And thee advised mo to cuth outh
thlth lip."
"Bo docs everybody else.
"Bolton-Bolton?" mused Clnude. "Why,
I nlll meet thath girl nnd fall In love
with her snd marry her!"
"You'll have to bo mado over new first."
Miss Cnthcrlno next took that young
man for a carpet salesman, then for n
book agent, then for n locksmith. For
moro than n year sho cut him dead In
society and fairly drove him olf tho nve
r.ue. Soma of her friends knew what she
vast doing and they asked:
"What Is it for?"
"Just to snvo him from being an Idiot
Instead of n man!"
"And how nre.you succeeding!"
"Nobly. Ho has dropped that lisp nnd
his 'Bah Jove.' and he actually knocked
a mnn down tho other day. He mny get
to be a hero by and by "
Miss Cntherlne was driving from tho
city to her country home on Long Islnnd.
As the machine npproached a railroad
crossing tho occupants saw another auto
waiting, but tho chauffeur simply put on
speed and paid no attention to the man
who was seeking to warn him of Ills
danger. At the last Instant, almost, the
waiting auto was swung full across the
hlgliwny nnd was struck by the other nnd
rolled over Just as a heavy train passed
at 50 miles nn hour.
It has hrcn Claudo Ducharme Hazlo
ton's chance, and ho had taken It. Ho
was drugged out with a broken leg nnd n,
broken ami, and Miss Catherine hod been
so good to him ever slnco that "sly
winks" nre being "wunk" In society.

Police Court Chronicles
Tho tinkling of a tambourine was wafted
through the ulr near 16th street nnrt Qi.

all the hues of her clan, peeped from be
hind a trvo and tola passersby In mys
terious whispers that the future was with
in their grasp for a piece of silver. Thoso
who wero skeptical looked Into laughing
brown eyes, which contrasted harmoni
ously with olive cheeks and 'even pearly
teeth and paid the toll.
They learned of many good things soon
to happen, and were assured of the suc
cess of many ventures, both commer-
dally and cuptdlshly. There was a steady
thump of coin In tho tambourine, which
Increased the smile of the prophetic
maiden, until she attempted to solvo tho
futuro of u garrulous thin man of pes
simistic mien.
He told her that the future which she
hud pictured for him was out of the1
question and reminded her that If he
were to wed again he would have to be
a vldower or a bigamist. After thus
crushing the spirit of' the fair seer he
told Foliceman Donohoe, who la opposed
to knowing things before they happen and
to fortune tellers particularly. He took
the gypsy maiden to the camp of Magis
