THE DEMOCRATIC WAY.
Minority Committee Members Play
Politics Instead Of Probing.

Washington Feb 24-The disposition
today of the Democratic members of the
select Senate committee appointed to in
vestigate the high cost of living to hold
the trusts" responsible for advances in
prices and to hold the Republican party
responsible for the trusts, indicates that
the proceedings may become stormy be-
fore they have proceeded far into the
subjects to be investigated. Secretary
Wilson and later Commission Neil We're
called before the committee today to
make statements of the information that
might be expected from them.
Chairman Lodge attempted to draw out
the witnesses along the line indicated
hut Senators Simmons and Clarke, Arkan-
sas. the minority members, thought it was
|. good time to examine them about
! trusts and their bearing upon the cost
of necessities of life. Senators Lodge
Smoot and McCumber. Republicans. said
that those questions could wait until the
government officials had given an outline
of data in their departments
Some feeling was displayed it is said
but the Democrats were mndaunted
Lodge however, says that such a course
will not be permitted and inasmuch as the
investigation is behind closed doors it is
clear that the Republicans have the bet
ter of the arguments. Messrs. Wilson and
Noill will file statement of information
that can be furnished by them. and SINH
lar statements have been asked for from
other officials
