Says No Decision Has Been Reached
BY Strike Investigating Committee.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Colonel Carroll
ID. Wright, chairman OF the strike in
vestigation commission, returned last
hight from Chicago and left here to-

<ated Press representative today, Com
missioner Wright expressed his conf
Renee in the beneficial results of the
Inquiry, and summed up the work OF the
commission by saying: "A number OF
newspaper statements as to what the
commission is likely to recommend have
been brought to my notice. The COM
mission, however, has formulated no
recommendations, and such statements
are mere guess work. i consider the
investigation thoroughly successful. All
leading men on both sides, railroad
leaders and Pullman officiaIs freely gave
testimony and the investigation was con-
Quoted in the most searching manner.
The commission has now adjourned
to meet in Washing ton on the 10Th.
for the purpose of hearing any testim ony,
which may be considered necessary for
the completion OF the report.
ain the meantime each of the commits
sion will be hard at work studying the
testimony already furnished and
the law bearing on the various features
involved in the investigation and
preparing himself for the commiss ions
final report. Our plan is to have the re-
port ready by the middle of November
and to submit 1t to Congress early in the
next session."
