Completes Report
WORKERS LARGELY TO BLAME
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Am. J8.
Low wages were found to be the basic
cause of industrial unrest la the re
port which Frank P. Walsh, chair
man of the federal commission on
Industrial relations and the labor
members of that body, will present to
contTM as a result of the com
mission's two-rear Instigation into
the subject.
The report, embodying the per
sonal findings of Mr. Walsh, and con
curred in by Commissioners John B.
Lennon, James O'Connell and Austin
B. Oarretson, was made public here
today.
The workers of the nation, through
oompulsory and oppressive methods, lo
cal and illegal, aro denied tho full
product of their toll," It was declared In
tho report, and tho resulting Industrial
dissatisfaction waa said to hava reached
proportions that already menace the
social good, will and the peace of the
nation.'
Responsibility for the oondltlen under
which they llvs waa placed primarily
upon tho workers themselves, who, "blmd
to their collective strencth and often
limes deaf to the cries of their families, j
have suffered exploitation and tho in-1
v anion of their most sacred rights with- j
out resistance." j
Abstract of Report.
The report. In part, follows:
.Ve find the baslo cause of Industrial !
uisjatlefsotlon to be low wave, or, tho'
fact that the workers of tho nation.
through compuUory and oppreaelv meth
ods, legal and Illegal, are denied the full
IToduct of their toll.
"Cltlsans numbering millloaa smart
under a sense of Injustice and oppres
sion born of the conviction that the
opportunity Is denied them to acquire
for themselves and their families that
decree of economic wellbelnc neoeaaary i
for the enjoyment of these material and
spiritual satisfactions which alone make
life worth living.
"Bitternese bred of unfilled need of
sufficient food, clothlnc and shelter for
themselves and their wives and children,
lias been further nourished In Aha hearts
of these millions by resentment acalnst
the arbitrary power that enables the
employer, under our present industrial
system, to control not only tho workmen's
opportunity to earn their bread, but oft
Mmes, through the exercise of this power,
jn dictate his social, political and moral
environment
"The extent and depth of Industrial
tmrest can hardly be exaggerated.
Thirty thouaand workers In a single
strike have followed the leadership of
men who denounced government and
10 i led for relentless warfare on organised
society.

these forces to Intimidate and suppress

"The unrest of the wage earners has
been augmented by recent chaagee and
developments In Industry. Chief of these
are the rapid and universal Introduction
and extension of machinery of production,
by which unskilled workers may be
sutietltiited for the skilled and an equally
rapid development of means of rapid
transportation and communications, by
which private capital baa been enabled

"And when these unfortunates seek, by
the only means within reach, to better
their lot by organising to lift themselves
from helplessness to some measure ef
colleoUve power, with which to wring
living wages from their employers, they
find too often arrayed against them not
only the massed power of capital, but
every arm of the government that was
created to enforce guarantees of equality

Head-On Collision Affords Real
Thrill for Interested Spectators
The day ef the great head-on collision
between two giant locomotive, which
will be stared at the Omaha Auto Speed
way on Labor day Is rapidly approaohtnir,
and a large forte of workmen are busily
engaged In const ructlng as fine a road
bed as It Is possible to build, using brand
new elehty-pound steel rails to give the
engines smooth running for the eventful
smashup. A gala day has been arranged
by the promoters. At noon the gates
will be thrown ouen to the public, who
will ocr.upy the grandstand in first come,
first served order with the predicted
overflow occupying space on the board
track facing the exhibition, which will
take place on the track feet away.
The bands will open the sfternoon of
sports with patriotic airs, followed by
harness and running races, stock yards
derby relay race, motorcycle events run
off In rapid succession with the head-on
collision as the grand climax.
Colonel J. 8, Connolly, veteran of the
railroad collision for exhibition purposes,
Is here supervising the construction work,
"Omaha Is to be congratulated," he says,
"on having such a fine place as the
Auto Speedway affords to atsge the
head-on collision. We will have a three
quarters of a mile run for the engines
and ample room for the spectator with
a perfect view of all that Is enacted. I
will give them the cleanest and safest
afternoon of events within my power."

In bringing this attraction to the city,
rays: . "I sm convinced we have the
largest attraction conceivable, ml I am
glad to be under the banner with the pro
moters." W. J. Birtllvan of New York City, after
witnessing the exhibition given there, de
scribes It thusly:
"The slftnat given: They're off.' The
signal was throe shrinks from engine No.

and they stsrted. Both engineers
slammed tholr levers over. Tho pistons

from the stacks, and steam. Intermittent
and hissing, squealed through the vents
about the trucks. Drizzled Mr. Dwyer
had petted and cajoled hi charge so well
that he attained the greater apeed al
most Instantly.
"The crowd got a strangle hold on Its
breath and held It Fifty feet from the
starting point No. 2 began to chortle, and
Dwyer decided that he'd better Jump, lie
did. And he landed in about a foot and
a half of water. Matthews was stroking
the fur ef No. 1, but the bunh of black
metal didn't seem to respond. Finally
the 'Demon Farmer' gave the lever an
uppereut and No. 1 picked up vome cour
age and went at its opponent
"It's more difficult to describe what
happened than It Is to serve a subpoena

as papa held htm In leash In the stands

"Foot by foot, yard by yard, the two
engines gained speed. You couldn't have
beard a pin drip, for the simple reason
that a pin doesn't make any noise when
it hits a-, quagmire, such as the track
was this afternoon. j
"And then came the crash.
"No. I waa ths thoroughbred. Out No.
children and hla own health and safety
are in the handa of the employer, through
the arbitrary power he exercises In fix
ing his wages and working conditions.
Workers Largely to Blame,
"The responsibility for the conditions
which have been described above, we de
olare, rests primarily upon workers, who,
blind to their ' collective strength, and
oftentimes deaf to the cries of their fel
lows, have suffered exploitation and the
Invasion of their most sacred rights with
out resistance. A large measure of re
sponsibility must, howsver, attach to
the great maae ef oltlsens. But until the
workers themselves realise their responsi
bility and utilise to. the full their col
lective power, no notion whether govsrn
mental or altrulstlo can work any genu
ine and lasting Improvement.
We call upon our oltlsenshlp, regard
less of politics er economlo conditions to
use every means of agitation, all avenues
of education and every department and
function ef government to eliminate the
Injustices exposed by this commission, to
the end that each laborer may secure
the whole product of hla labor."

WITH NELL ELIMINATES
WATER SUPPLY FROM TITLE
City Commissions Wlthnell Is per
suaded to change the name of his de
partment from "fire protection and wa
ter supply" to "fire protection," because
of the frequent calls he haa for Infor
mation on the subject of water.
When the commission form of govern
ment law wsa written "fire and water"
were combined In one department, to pro
Tide for the time when the water plant
would be under the management of the
city council, as at one time contemplated.
Mr. Wlthnell feels It la an empty honor
to be thus handicapped with a title he
can not sustain.

No More Charity
Tickets Sold
"I think we ought to chargo from $2
to 14 for each concert after the season
tickets are' sold," said one member of
the committee In charge of the Omaha
retailers' "charity concert course." "Those
who really care for muse anl for the
civic uplift of the city will have
bought 'course coupon tickets' by Sep
tember IS, and thore who do not care
for that feature of this course and only
want to be entertained at certain Indi
vidual concerts ought to pay enough so
we can realise something worth while
for the various Omaha charities."
"No," said another member, "I think
you are wrong about that. It looks too
much like vlrxllctlveness. Of course,
single admission tickets will have to be
considerably higher in price than the
'coupon course tickets,' but we should
not entirely abandon our first intention
of having the greatest concert course
ever promoted in this country at popular
prices. I would suggest that positively
no 'coupon course tickets' be sold after
September 16. and that wa formally an
be given to the subjects. The camp Is
making a strenuous effort to win the
magnificent silk banner offered by tho
head camp of the society to the local
camp In tho state showing the largest

TODAY'S BEAUTY AIBS
To clear up and whiten the akin
and secure that charm of pink and
white youthful freshness go much,
deeired by all women yon will find It
far safer to rely upon a food face
lotion rather than powder. To get
rid of that shiny and muddy appear
ance in your complexion, dissolve
four ounces of epurmax In one-half
pint hot water, and add two tea
spoonfuls glycerine. Apply thia to
your face, neck and amis, rubbing,
gently until dry. This lotion does
not show or rub off like powder and
la much better. It is splendid for
removing tan, freckles, pimples and
sallowness.
You can make a delightful sham
poo for a very trifling cost If you
get from your druggist a package
of canthrox and dissolve a tea spoon
ful in a cup of hot water. Pour a
little at a time ou the scalp and rub
briskly. This creates an abundance)
of thick, white lather that thorough
ly dissolves and removes add dan
druff, excess oil and dirt. After rins
ing, the hair dries quickly, with a
fluffiness that makes it seem heavier
than it is, and takes on a rich luster
and a softness that makes arranging
it a pleasure. Advertisement.
