KenR

After a months voyage on the
rough seaof legislative 1egerdemain,
during which time it steadily gained
strength and grew in popular favor,
the famous Kern resolution calling for
an investigation of the strike in the
Kanawha coalfelds by a Senatorial
committee was passed Tuesday. .
Nothing but good can come to the
workers OF West Virginia from the
now assured investigation. In fact;
its good effects are already being felt.
A few days ago when it became ap-
parent that the Kern resolution was
certain to be passed by the Senate,
all the men who had been Illegally
seized and sent to prison by the mill
tary despotism established here, were
released. Frantic efforts are being
made by the state authorities to hush
up certain matters and to improve
conditions in the coal fields. Martial
law will probably be declared off ere
this reaches the reader. and every
effort viii be made to present a peace
full and quiet situation TO the investi-
gators, in the place Of the tyranny
and legalized anarchy that has
reiened in the coal fields for more
than year.
The investigating committee is
headed by Senator Borah, who made.
a gallant fight for the passage Of the
Kern resolution; its other members
are Senators Shields, Swanson, Mar
tine and Kenyon. This personnel in
sures that the investigation will be
and searching. It is eXpec-
ted that subcommittee will come
to West Virginia Immediately and be-
gin taking evidence, and that its re-
port will be ready for the Senate next
month.
During the month of debate on the
resolution, Senator Golf, a life long
supporter of the greedy West Virginia
coal interests and sent by them, IN
his dotaee, to the Senate, has managed
to insult comparatively all OF his
by his querimoniousness,
and has managed to give his state
considerably more of that kind OF
advertising that don't pay" than it
would have otherwise received.
His assertions called forth replies
from his fellow citizens that would
have certainly landed them IN jail had
they been within reach of the military
arm Of West Vlrginia's government.
For instance, Golf in the course OF his
remarks exclaimed, the Governor OF
West Virginia has been placed upon
a pedestal by his people" to which
Senator Reed replied:
Instead of standing upon pedstal
he stands in the pillory. In my
opinion he will stand there as long as
men revere liberty in West Virginia.
Another Senator in answering some
of COTS eloguies of West Virsinias
Governor said;
The: governor of West Virginia
struck ut the foundations of human
liberty. There never fell from the
lips ofGeoree III, OF any of his minis
ters-:there never was written in the
infamous reign of Charles II, doc
trine more destructive OF human
liberty and Of all law and order than
this doctrine we are now confronted
with. It is q doctrine 50 cmonsfrous
1
that it shocks the confidence and ap-
meals to the judgment of every man;
who loves his country.
