The resolution offered by Congressman
Watson OF this state in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, providing for an investigation
of the Pinkertcn detective agency. was such
a measure as has been repeatedly demanded
by various labor organizations and law
loving citizens at large. The provisions Of
the resolution seek to establish whether or
not the agency can lawfully exist and per-
form legally such services as has been its
custom.
| Il is asserted that Pinkerton's detective
agency is more than its name implies: that
apart from the hunting down Of criminals,
It maintains an army Of some thirty odd
| thousand men, who perform militia serv-
ice under the direction of officers for. which
the company or agency receives pay. 1t will
be remembered that during the great Penn
| sylvanis coal strikes and riots several years
ago, and during the strike and riots on the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy railroad Of
a later date, Pinkerton detectives were en-
ployed by the proprietors Of the mines and
railroad, and served in precisely the capaci-
ty as to guard duty that the state military
would have done had they been called out.
But. more than that, the Pinkerton agents
made arrests without warrants and were
allowed to imprison those arrested IN the
municipal jails without examination. And
on at least one occasion during the Chicago
strike a Pinkerton detective fired into a
| crowd of people who hesitated to dispense
when he ordered them to do so-although
they were making no MISUNDERSTANDING
one boy and fatally wounding a woman.
These things led to much bitter feeling,
and inquiries began to be made
as 10 where Pinkerton obtained
authority to maintain an army, to
make arrests without warrants, to assume
super-extra constabulary powers-to make
arrests anyway, or even to exist as "de-
tective" agency. Such questions have never
been satisfactorily answered, although the
agency continues to live and hold all the
sway it claims,
The labor unions at various times have
asserted that the Pinkertons' authority con-
sists solely IN physical force that no state
has the constitutional right to authorize or
recognize such an organization, owned by
and for the profit of private parties And
these assertions are well founded. 1t may
be that these detectives" have all the au-
thority given to special constables when
| they are sworn in as such, but there are
| numerous instances on record, as during the
riots noted above, when even this was not
| done.
MIR. Watson's resolution is good thing.
The Pinkerton agency is proper subject
for investigation; the people would like to
| know what it is.

Mr.. Mutchlar is

MIR. Mutchler is on the Right Track
Representative Mutchler, of Pennsyl-
vania, has introduced into the House a res
olution calling for a thorough investigation
OF the causes which led to the failures of
the Keystone and Spring Garden b anks of
Philadelphia. and it is said that a Boston
| congressman will introduce similar reso-
luton respecting the Maverick bank of
that city. The general belief is that all OF
the foregoing banks were wrecked.
And very curious thing In connection
with them is that the persons instrumental
in wreckinE them have not been punished.
| Bardsley, who was treasurer of Philadel-
phia at the time of the failure Of the Key
stone and Spring Garden banks, and who
| is supposed TO have been the duDe of those
who conducted the wrecking business, Is in
| the penitentiary, but the men who had con-
| troll of the banks have never been put on
trial for their alleged wrong-doing.
What is needed is a very thorough in
| vestigation of the affairs of the wrecked in-
situations. The impression is quite general
| that the bottom facts with regard to the
failures have never been made public. It is
| inspectors failed to discover the
true condition of the banks until
it was too late to save them from
ruin. It is said that the bank examiner
pronounced the Maverick bank sound ten
| days before it closed its doors, and the ex-
| aminer who looked after the financial con-
dition of the Keystone bauk was in that
bank pretty nearly every day until the
crash came.
| The object of the investigation should be
not only to place the blame for the failures
where it belongs, but, also to find out
wherein the national banking laws can be
SO amended as to lessen the probability of
national bank failures. There appears to
be some foundation for saying that
national bank failures are much more COM
mon now in proportion to the number Of the
banks, than they were when the national
banking law went into operation. If there
is need of protective legislation the fact
ought to be made known and the nee s.
sary laws enacted. Aud if the whole fault
is with the government officials who admin.
lister the national banking laws, steps should
be taken promptly to improve that branch
OF the public service
