into the official acts of a state and the conduct of justice by its governor and courts. This feature of the resolu- ton caused the most bitter debate in the discussion which preceded it's. adop- ton. While carefully worded, the sec ton in question dtrectedsan inquiry fn- to the arrest and Imprisonment of cit izens in violation of the laws and I constitution of the United States. The reference was to the military tribun- al, which, since the proclamation of martial law in the Paint Creek district, has sentenced persons to terms of from one to five years including Moth-' CT Jones. Under the authority of the resolution the Senate, through the edu- cation and labor committee, will look ito charges of peona ge in West V1r- ginia, of violation of the immigr ation laws, of interference with the mails and postoffices and of violation of the constitutional laws of the United States in the trial of citizens by a mil itary tribunal It will, examine report ed combinations among operations in violation of the sherman antitrust act and alleged discrimination by immi- grafton authorities at ports of entry and determine whether arms and ex- plosives were imported into Paint Creek for improper use The terms of the authorization are so broad that the committee will be able to inquire into anything and everything which figured in the troubles between the miners and the operators. The investigation will be the second in the history of the nation so far as Senators have shown in debate, to be made of the acts of a state by a legislative branch of the Federal government. The strike In the Couer d'AIene mining region In Idaho was investigated by a House committee in 1900.
