 Immediate Action
Continued from Page One) Four Lines of
 Investigation Pending

Washington, Feb. 27-Four separate l forces of the national government were concentrated, today, on the | Lawrence strike situation. The pathetic pleas of mothers, the drama tic appeals of the striking mill work CTS themselves and the construction of the right of personal liberty laid before the House and Senate, started the members into action.
 The department of justice, through the authorities at Lawrence, is pre- pairing for the presentation to Presi- dent Taft, of an exact statement which will detail just how far the municipal authorities went in the campaign of repression against the strikers. President Taft believes himself, it was stated on good authori- ty, that the liberties contained in the Federal constitution and local statutes were violated.
 In the House, two Representatives Chairman Wilson, of the labor com mfttee, mSelf a union card man." and Berger, the Wisconsin Socialist cought consideration of their respect i've resolutions turning the searchlight of constitutional investigation on the strike situation.
 The Poindexter, Wilson and Berger resolutions were introduced simul- taneously- Poindexter demanded that the department of commerce and labor report to the Senate the wages and conditions of living of the mIllworkers
 
 have not "forcibly interfered" in the matter
 Berger asks investigation by spe- cial House Committee. Representa- tive Wilson requests specific inVesti- gation by the committee or labor of the allegation that militia and police at Lawrence have denied consti:u- tional liberties to the milIworkers.
 Victims of the strike themselves will come to Washington to plead their cause.
 In presenting his resolution in the Senate, Senator Poindexter bitterly arraigned the Lawrence authorities for absolutely ignoring" the con- stitution.
 .'I consider that every citizen who l tions and for the American constitu- | tion which we hear so much about | these days. is deeply interested here" | Poindexter declared. Tt is simply | a matter of substituting the irrespOn- ! sible rule of q temporary local auto- l crat for the law.
 A great many workers and resi- l dents are in jail without having com nitted any effense against the laws. am willing to impeach the authori- ties in that part of Massa chusetts. IL | is the substitution of military force for the civil law.
 setts, assuming to be an autocrat in defiance of the constitution, it ought not tO be allowed to remain in that

pOSlIlOn-
 Berger demanding justice for the Lawrence strikers, laid the entire mat
 ter before the House in a brief, wig
 orous speech. He characterized the Lawrence situation as one of the most courageous invasions of constitu- tional rights that has ever occurred in this country
 operatives in the mills of Lawrence, he said, 'is less than $6 week. Late ly a law was passed establishing 54 hours as a weeks work instead of 56. The manufacturers immediately oIt the wages of the operatives 50 cents a week. This reduction means a great deal to the poor workers. It every week. Naturally, they resisted it and went on strike.
 The interference Of the military and police soon created trouble. The strikers, in order to he able to resist longer. sent their children away to be taken care of by friends in New York and other cities. The miilown- CTS, who feared the strikers would thereby be in a position to win the strike, decided to stop this, although there are no legal. constitutional or moral means to stop it. But, having the militia and police at their dispos- al, they forcibly took the children licemcn cluDbed men and women and were particularly brutal toward chill dren 4 great number of the parents were arrested ard held under the pre- text that they wished 10 abandon their children"

 ''But modern industrial conditions
 are at variance with the greatest pos
 sible benefit which legal holidays mig 1t
 confer, and in some instances financial
 hardShipS are involved for both en-
 where a. holiday falls on Tuesday or
 Friday, many business concerns cut
 their payroll by closing down on the
 Monday preceding or Saturday follow
 ing, thus enforcing a Iwo-day holiday. Then again, when such holidays fall in mid-Week, the holiday spirit on the day preceding and fol owing seriously interferes with the efficiency of the
 worker and thus involves a hardship on the employer. It is generally con ceded that the afternoon preceding holiday and the morning after are not to be counted upon for normal product.
 Another difficulty is that two hoIi- days fall in February. when ou door demonstrations and military and other pageants are impossible. Therefore the day is Of little benefit but a har- vest for the theatres and other expen- siVe indoor amusements; while no hol- iday falls during that long period be- tween July 4 and September ,, when the need of recreation presses heavily on many thousands to whom summer vacations are impossible.
 A possible remedy is to re-arrange the CdIGllQaT or EOIlUdE ualGS, ndN1IS all holidays (except Christmas ard New Year for obvious reasons) observed on Mondays following the given date: | Day on the Monday fol- | lowing the 22d of February; Lincoln | Day transferred to the first Monday i ri April: Memorial Day the last Mon | lay in May; Independence Day the first | M onday in July; and here introduce ] l new holiday known as Recreation | Day, on the first Monday in August. This only needs suggesting to open ID a vision of it's possibiit Labor Day follows on the first Monday in Columbus Day on the sec md Monday in October, Thanksgiving Day on the last Monday in November.
 This order would secure for our in , lustrial army two and one-half day ! espfte from toll, with loss Of only ls me days pay. and would insure for he employer a better weeks product rom five consecutive days lahor af- CT a two and one-half days rest.

Teddy Will Not Be Personal With
 President Taft
CspeciaI from United Press.)

Boston, Feb. 27-ColoneI Roosevelt today made it clear that he would not be drawn into personal contro- versy with the present administration on any account, a though he has stat ed that he will fight during the com ing campaign a straight from the shoulder fight.
 purporting to show that Roosevelt had declared Taft not tn be a pro- gressive, the ex-Presiden, was pain " angry and denied it. Colonel Roosevelt, when urged to define what his plan of campaign will be, issued the following statement:
 CT could not more definitely state my position on the great issues of the day than J stated it in my Colum- bus speech and again yesterday before the Massachusetts Legislature. In addition to calling attention to what I there said on the subject of popular government, I also call particular at 1ention to what I said at Columbus on the business situation and the proper attitude of the government to- ward business so IS to insure condi- fty of the business world and of all our people.
 ''In my Ohio speech I dwelt with emphasis upon the two great subjects of immediate moment to our people. che need of having a real and not mercy nominal popular rule and the need Of securing prosperity for the businessman, the wage earner and the farmer alike. As then said, I most empha ticaIy believe that it is neces- sary to have an equable division of prosperity but that it behooves us to keen in mind that we cannot divide the prosperity unless the prosperi v is there to divide and that to secure the welI-being of the business world is emphaticalI in the interest of every citizen of the United States"
