CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION
Wanted by the Labor Committee on the
Causes of Depression


WASHINGTON, d. c., May S.-Chair-
man McGanu, Of the House Committee
on Labor, has completed the text of the
Joint resolution for a Congressional in
vestigation of the industrial unrest and
incidentally OF the Coxey army move
meut. Il will be presented 10 the Labor
Committee tomorrow. IL is as fol-
lows:
RcSoyrcd Ju the Senate and House Of
Representatives, That a joint com
mittee be appointed, consisting OF
three Senators, to be appointed
by the President of the
Senate and four representatives to be
appointed by the Speaker Of the House,
whose duty it shall be TO investigate
aud report within thirty days the cause
OF the industrial depression responsible
for so much distress throughout the
country and what legislation will induce
and preserve Industrial and financial
conditions that will offer speedy, per-
manent and lucrative employment TO
the citizens OF the United States.
IL had been reported that Mr.. Coxey
would appear before the Labor Commit

Row City Contracts Are Let.


To the Editor or the Register:
We, the stonecutters of Wheeling, deem
it duty to ourselves and the public gen.
orally, to state the manner in which the
city's business is conducted. Our griev-
ance is this: The Board of Education has
let contract for the building of an add
ton 10 Webster school. Before the bids
were advertised, we presented a petition
to the Board, signed by number OF cltl-
zens. asking the Board before awarding
the contract to insert proviSo in the con-
tract that taxpayers and citizens OF Wheel
ing get the preference in the erection OF
said school house. The Building Committee
of the Board agreed to insert such clause,
and presented it in the specifications. The
contract was awarded to klieves, KRAFT "
Co., under certain conditions, they agree
ing to comply with its requirements
WIZ: employ none but home labor,
they the bosses belonging to an organiza-
ton of which Hallock Bros, are members
telling US that while they need men thew
will not employ us until we agree to work
with the non-residents now employed on
Webster school Our reason for this
statement is 10 correct wrong impression
that is being circulated that we refuse to
work when work is offered US. We are
ready and willing TO 60 TO work and know
that if Klieves & Kraft complied with the
terms of the contract this trouble
would have. been averted. Several OF
the Building Committee know the
wrong that IS being done US and
citizens of Wheeling. The srone work was
sub-let to Hallock Bros. by them and they
had the stone cutters there from Ravenna,
Ohio, two or three days before they were
ready to start. These men were put TO
work and later another man, resident Of
Ohio, was started, and after him another
who is not even citizen of the United
States We placed the matter before the
Building Committee of the Board, and
they at special meeting ordered their sec
rotary to notify Kiieves Il Kraft that
the non-residents were at work. and or
dered that they be called off and orr own
people be given a chance. This oroer was
utterly ignored and has been ever since.
The outsiders are still working and
Wheeling citizens can walk the streets and
pay the taxes. The balance OF the stone
contractors in this city refuse TO employ
US after we had offered our services.
We are heartily in favor OF proper and
equitable adjustment Of the trouble and in
favor Of holding the contractors strictly 10
their contract Respectfully,
SToNECUTTERs OF WHEELING.

To Limit Q. $. cours Railroad Business.

To Limit o. s. Court Railroad Business.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May S.-Repre-
sentative Terry, of Arkansas, who with
Representatives Boatner and w. A.
Stone. have been Investigating Judge
jenkins anti-strike injunctions, has
prepared bill designed to reform the
practice by which the federal courts
are practically engaging In the railroad
business, through the appointment OF
receivers. Most OF the subsidy roads
Of the west are in the hands OF receivers
appointed by federal courts. The
courts thus secure absolute authority
over railroads and as the receiverships
run from year to year the courts sue
coed the railroad officials in conducting
the business OF the road. Mr.. Terry's
bill will attempt to put limit TO their
railroad receiverships in order to avoid
the charge that the courts are going in
to the railroad business.

AN EX-POLICEMAN'S IDEA
OF What Should BE Done in Relation to
@the COxey Movement"

OF What Should BE Done in Relation to
''the Coxey Movement"
To the Editor of the State journal.
SIR:-The Coxey movement is assum-
ing a serious aspect, it is time for all
good citizens to look this matter square
in the face and be prepared to meet it; if
something is not done, and that speedily,
this movement will lead to revolution
My theory is that it is easier to prevent
crime, than it is to punish the criminal
and great deal cheaper. Kansas al
ways leads. Let her not lag now. This
COxey army is composed of two distinct
classes. The honest unemployed who
seek work, they are led and counseIed
by honest men. The other the dishonest
tramp who don't want work, they are
led and cOunseled by anarchists and enc
mics of good government, and law and
order.
We have both classes in Topeka, let us
provide work for those who will work,
and law and order for those who won't.
l believe fund sufficient to keep our
own citizens at work (unti1 this matter is
settled by congress,) can be raised in the
following way: Each person now en-
ployed to donate according to his means,
those getting $50 per month, So; under
800, $40; under $3.50, $15; $3.50 to $500,
$50, and such other amounts as they may
choose. This fund could be used to
grade Kansas avenue north and south,
Tenth street west and other avenues; the
second or vicious class who can work and
wont: put them to breaking rock as pro-
vided in the vagrant laws, the rock to be
used on the graded streets, thus giving
us value received for our money, provid-
ing work for our unfortunate citizens,
punish the Migrants, and keep peace and
good order in our city. Here goes for SO.
Next. Yours for Law and Order.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
DON'T LIKE MRS. LEASE.

state House Omcia1s Talk About Her
Renewed Candidacy For Senator.
It is reported that Mary Elizabeth
Lease while resting in Chicago last week
addressed hundred or more letters to
her Populist friends in Kansas, appeal
ing to them to nominate and support for
the legislature only men who could be
depended upon to vote against the re-
election of United States Senator John
Martin. She also called upon her friends
to fight fusion in every form it might be
presented She warned them against
scheme which she claimed to have dis
covered to give the Democrats congress
men in the First and Second districts and
the secretary of state and associate JUS
tice of the supreme court on the state
ticket.
The letter closed with the promise tn at
she would return TO Kansas in Septem-
Der to remain and take part in the cam
paign until the election in November. 1t
was also said that she might be candi-
date for senator herself
When Secretary of State Osborn was
told of the report that Mrs. Lease had de-
signs on the United States senate and
had addressed letters to prominent Pop
ullSts asking them to use their influence
to keep the Democrats out of the legis-
lature, he looked mad. at is that old
bee in her bonnet again. We are getting
very tired of it. l have known for a
long time that she would be a candidate,
SO see nothing surprising in that an
nouncement.'
Auditor Prather said: 81 don't see
why she is against fusion. She is the
original fusionist. She was a delegate
in the state convention that nominated
Willitts and she voted for Robinson In
the convention two years ago she sup
ported John Martin for associate justice.

posed to fusion now"

Labor Unions Against Him on Account of
Todd's Appointments.
The state federatian of labor has
opened up its war on the state admins
tration. An address to the labor unions
throughout the state has been issued,
signed by the president and secretary.
The address is an arraignment of the
state labor bureau. 1t says that the leg
islature created the bureau for the bene-
fit of the wage earners in the cities.
The address asserts that Gov. Lewell-
ing agreed to place the labor bureau in
control of man recommended by organ
lied labor but when the name of such a
man was presented the governor totally
disregarded his pledges and turned the
Office over to political striker" i'm
pressed with the political omnipotence Of
the farmer and that he has diverted the
work of the bureau from its true channel.
The address gives the report of the
labor commissioner on the agricultural
industry some attention and says he has
invaded the domain of the state board of
agriculture and has prepared a report
calculated to repel immigration.
The governor, the address continues
has been requested to remove the labor
commissioner but has expressed himself
as satisfied with him and pays no atten-
ton to the demands of organized labor.
1t therefore calls upon all trade union
lists to assist in the defeat of Governor
Lewelling and asserts that the Kansas
federation will always adhere to the
principle that the Kansas labor commits
