The bartender filed the pals, then
carefully examined the pieces of lead

them. The boy meantime walked out
with the foaming pals. He had not

| Well, all that recent agitation al
most accomplished something.
I know there are foolish, fanatical
persons who will not believe me, but
you can't get away from the facts,
and l have the facts.
A couple of months ago the country
was all excitement. Prices were
soaring about like aeroplanes. They
were shooting this way and that like
Halley's comet and the people were
most awfully disturbed and, my,
what lot of gas there was!
The stump speakers stumped; the
agitators agitated and the resolutors
resoluted. 4
The reporters sneaked into the cold
storage houses and reported all the
good things to be found there until
eur mouths watered.
Little district attorneys, who want
ed to be mayors or governors, rushed
to the defense of the people and
hauled before them the great male
factors.
Mass meetings were held and boy
colts declared. In fact the people
had a grand old time and all this
agitation stirred the justice-loving
soul Of one Senator Elkins.
At the risk Of his political future,
at the expense of old political friend
ships, this tribune of the people de-
manded that the United States Senate
lshould investigate. the rise in prices.
Ny how he stormed and ranted,
fumed and fused and at last after
much ado resolution was passed de-
claring for an investigation Of the
high cost of living.
His protests, (" says Senator Stone,
This pleadings and his lamentations
are still resounding in feeble echoes
about the senate chamber.
when he roared he was superb,
when he pleaded he was pathetic"
And finally driven to the last ditch
the old gang In the Senate bowed to
the inevitable and passed resolu-
ton providing for an Investigation.
Thereupon shouts of joy went up
all over the country from the glad
hearts of the people.
At last they had won victory, at
last they had forced the Senate, the
Senate, mark you-to investigate.
And then protests stopped. Mass
meetings were declared OF and boy
colts abandoned.
Days and weeks dragged on. The
newspapers turned the attention of
their fond readers to base ball and
to prize fights and to the Wo1ter
murder trial and to the good and
great Charles e. Hughes.
And now at last, some month later.
reposing sweetIy in an obscure col
umn of the daily paper find the fol-
lowing telegram:
The Senate has refused to grant
any funds to carry out the investiga-
ton Of the high cost OF living.

REFUSED AssEMBLY's


Goodwin for that office.
J By the rule of senatorial courtesy
| and long established usage, Senator
N. B. Scott had this appointment
within his power. Labor, after long
and weary years of the bitter antag-
onism of district attorneys with cor
lporation leanings, felt relieved and
| hopeful. Senator Scott encouraged
these hopes and by written and spok-
en- word stated that he had recon-
mended the appointment Of the
Trades Assembly's candidate.
A photograph of letter written
to Senator Joseph H. McDermott of
Morgantown by Senator Scott is
shown in another column. In it Sen
ator Scott definitely states that he
had recommended Mr.. Goodwin for
the position and this, by all prece-
dent, was equivalent to the appoint
lment.
But Senator Scott was playing his
old game Of .duplicity, and at the
last moment he broke his word, VOL
ated the confidence that had placed
in him. and dashed the hopes of La
Dor.
Never Recommended.
Now, careful investigation at the
federal government Offices at Wash
ington discloses that Senator Scott
had never made the recommendation
he so explicitly states he did. Neither
in the file in the office of the appoint
ing clerk, nor on the desk of Attorney
General was there( any such recon-
mendation. This is conclusive evil
dence that Senator Scott wrote that
which he knew to be falsehood.
Thus did Senator Scott turn down
the only request for political appoint
ment ever made upon him by the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor As
sembly, the central legislative body
of all organized Labor Of the Pan
Handle district Of West Virginia, and
the only request made on behalf Of
the hundred thousand union workers
of the Mountain State.
