HOUSE COMMITTEE
TO QUESTION ROOT
Senator Out of Town for Re-.
mainder of Week.

Senator Root has been asked to appear
before the House Committee on Expendi-
lures in the State Department. The
Democrats Of the committee believe that
Mr.. Root, who was Secretary Of State in
the Roosevelt administration, is in a
position to throw light on two transac-
tons recently directed to their attention.
One of the questions concerning which
the committee is seeking information re-
lates to certain payments made to DR..
Jacob H. Hollender Of Baltimore, who
was retained by President Roosevelt to
undertake the work of refunding the debt
Of the republic of Santo Domingo. Dr.
Hollender testified that for this service
he received 100000 from Santo Domingo
and 1000 from the United States. Sec
retary Root made an inquiry into the
case, and the committee wants to know
what he found out. The result of Mr..
Roots Investigation has not been COM
municated to the committee SO far.
Another transaction that the commit
tee would like to discuss with Mr.. Root
is that bearing on the purchase by the
State. Department Of a portrait Of for
mer Secretary William r. Day. Alfred
Rosenthal, Of Philadelphia, who painted
the portrait. testified that he received
$50 for the work. Thomas Morrison, dis
bursting officer of the department, told
the committee that ne had issued a
voucher calling for the payment Of 81 $50
for the portrait. This voucher. which
has disappeared from the files of the de-
partment, was turned over to William H.
Michael, then chief clerk Of the depart
ment. now Unied States consul at Cal
cUtta.
The committee wants to know what be-
came Of the excess amount. Col
Michael was called upon for an explana-
ton by cable last week. His reply has
not yet been received.
The House committee asked Mr.. Root
TO appear Friday. The request was sent
to his office A reply came back that
Afr. Root is out Of town and will not
return until Monday. The committee will
ask Senator Root to appear early next
week.

MINERS PRESIDENT
TELLS OF PEONAGE
Conditions in Westm0reland
Coal Field Given.

Francis Feehan, president Of the Mine
Workers Union, startled the House Com
mittee on Rules yesterday by state
ments in regard to conditions in the
westmoreland coal fields of Pennsylvania.
where a strike had been in progress for
a year Feehan appeared before the
committee in support Of a bill introduced
by Representative Wilson, of Pennsylva-
mia, calling for Congressional investiga-
ton of the situation.
Feehan told the committee that twenty
miners had been killed by deputies since
the strike began.
Representative Wilson opened the hear
ing by outlining the cause of the strike.
He said the men in the field were re-
ceiving 35 cents q ton for the coal they
mined, while in the Pittsburg and near
by field, under the same conditions, men
were paid from 60 to 70 cents q ton. The
strike was precipitated by the discharge
of men for Joining the Mine Workers
Union. Then Mr.. Feehan took the stand.
I'VE expect to prove, II you will au-
thorize an investigation" he said, that
the various companies in the Westmore-
land field are keeping men In practical
slavery. They have erected stockades.
and by these and other methods are keep
ing mine workers ana foreigners. I'm
ported for the work. in the mines against
their wills. I know hundreds Of cases
where men have escaped-crossed the
dead line'-and have come and told us
stories OF being beaten up and shot at
because they tried to escape. Some have
been badly wounded. Why, men are not
allowed to 60 to church without securing
q pass to leave the company's property.
Men coming from Europe are met by
agents of the companies and induced
to go to Westmoreland County. They
are allowed no chance to escape, and are
hurried from the train to the mines In
carriages and automobiles. guarded by
special deputies"
He described the situation at the
Ocean Coal Mine. near Greensburg, Pa.
where he said q ten-foot fence surrounded
the company.s property, and was
guarded by deputy sheriffs. The sherifYs,
he said, sometimes amused themselves
by shooting up the town."

There are two ways to fatten the pro-
tected trusts. One is, by raising the
exclusive rates OF duty on their finished
products. The other is to rob the Trea-
sury, to enable them to buy their raw
material cheaper. The people do not eat
raw wool. nor wear raw wool. They
use blankets and woolen goods. When

is abominable to ponder to protection
either by raising the rates on its finish

ial on the free list. The trusts alone
would benefit by free wool. They would
sell the finished porduct no cheaper, while
the Treasury would lose 81, 00000O Of

NOTES FROM The
NATIONAL CAPITOL

Washington, D. c., Oct. 11,-One
can never tell where an innocent
looking exposition may lead one.
San Diego has an Exposition il
training and it has caused the
city to tackle something brand
new in municipal affairs-The
managementof a city forage farm,
of which Director-General D. c..
Collier is godfather,
1t has already been told about
the city flower farm. That was
something Of a novelty, and it
looked like a good thing. But to
grow hay, and have the mayor
and aldermen out inspecting the
crop and speculating whether it
was time to start the mowers go-
ing well, We may properly ask,
what next?
The flower farm is being oper-
ated by the city park commission
to propagate and grow the flow
ers, vines, ferns and trees re-
quired for the Exposition to be
held in that city in 1918. The city
forester now has begun work of
putting i'll about $50 acres of hay
and grain with which to feed the
l-50) odd horses and 1G0 cattle own
ed by the city in it's different de-
partments. There are years when
hay is hay" in San Diego, and
this has been one O. them. Farm
ers in that country cut four and
six crops of alfalfa year; some
as high as eight. In spite of this
there is at times a dearth of hay
both alfalfa and grain. The city
! forester has figured out that he
can plant about $50 acres Of the
city pueblo" lands to hay ant
grain and save the city money OF
its feed bills. Z
