Why Wyman Opposcd It.
Senator Wyman led the opposition
He said he did not doubt the sincerity
/ of the senator from Polk county, but
/ he did not believe the opposition to Mr..
Powers was controlled by the same mo.
tives that controlled Senator Ringdahl.
He believed the real cause Of the oppo.
sition to Powers was simply the posi-.
ton taken ny Powers in the recent
campaign, md there was no just rea.
son for singing out one man and per-
scouting him for political opinions, and
this was the real meaning Of the reso-
luton. He thought such action as the
resolution contemplated was entirely
unworthy Of the senate, and a ref1ec.
ton Of partisan bias that would do no
credit to the body. After several other
members had spoken briefly the resolu-
ton was adopted and Senators Shee-
han, Young, Ringdahl, Peterson and
Larson were named as the committee

ST. PAUL, Jan. 1b.-In tho senate
during the morning the question Of

\ lsouse reported its resolution providing
for Joint committee consisting of Il
from the house and s from the senate
The house resolution caused an imme'
Siate furry and the question was dis
sussed for over an hour without much
being said or done. Senator Greer
epened the debate by declaring that be
would oppose any roapportionment

Senators Stevens and Wyman favored
joint committee as the question could
not DO lodged, us the present appor.
tio,lment was Unfair to the northern
part of the state. After considerable
discussion Senator Barr offered an
amendment providing for IA members
from house ard senate. This prevailed
and the house was SO notified.
To Investigate Powers.
/, Although the appointment OF Labor
Commissioner Powers went through
without being held up, it is likely his
office will be investigated. A resolu.
tion introduced by Senator Ringdahl
alleges that the bureau has not been
aanducted in accordance with the stat.
1tes prescribing its functions and du-
ties, and that the funds Of the bureau
aud the services of the commissioners
have been devoted to purposes foreign

The resolution provides that q commits.
mon Of five senators shall be appointed
20 Thoroughly investigate the charges
made by the labor unions against Mr..
Powers, and to report the results OBJ.
