HOUSE 4 SOL UTION
SHOULD BE GENERAL
Hardly Fair That Mine Probe
Should Be Restricted to
West Virginia Alone.
[By Charles Brooks Smith,


WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The reso.
luton to have the House committee
on labor investigate the coal miners
strike in West Virginia is expected to
pass when there is a quorum present.
When that is brought about is rather
Indefinite. This Is the resolution
which Congressman Avis criticised
because it exceeded the constitutional
limitations and whose criticism was
accepted as good by Representative
Heating, the author. Congressman
Avis, knowing good deal about in
yestigations of this kind from the one
held by a Senate committee in his
district what he had to say about the
form the Heating resolution should
take, was listened to with attention.
The resolution Is favored by at least
three of the members from West Vir-
ginia-Sutherland Avis and Moss
not because their state was subjected
to the humiliation Of Investigation by
committee Of Congress-; not alto
gether for that reason, although that
does figure in simewhat. They stand
on broader grounds. However, Il one
state has to stand for this alleged fed
eral interference. they believe that
any other state where similar condi-
lions prevail should be subjected to
the same treatment. In furtheranee
Of this opinion, 1t can be stated that
Congressman Moss had prepared a
resolution to have the street car
strike situation in indianapolis in
vestigated, and was about to present
1t, and press it, when truce was de-
clared in the industrial war in that
city. 1t may be just coincidence, but
1t is interesting, to recall that Senator
Kern, of Indiana, introduced the reso-
luton which resulted in the invasion
of West Virginia by Senate com
mittee-the Kenyon committee but
better known to West YIrgInians as
the MARITIME committee,
The pollution OF the Ohio river
from Pittsburg to Parkershurg is a
very live question with the inhabitants
residing along that stream between
those two points to Judge from the
many letters received by CONGRESSMAN
Sutherland and Moss about 1t. They
have been working ON the matter for
weeks, and have held many conferen-
ces with the officials at at war depart
ment, since 1t was at last decided that
the subject belonged to that depart
ment and the engineering branch Of
1t. The matter is on the way now, and
there is hope of something being done
by the government to correct the
trouble complained of, which is, that
the acid from mills and factories
dumped into the river has killed OF
fish not by the thousands, but, If all
can be believed, by the millions, in the
upper Ohio.
