LAFFERTY ATTACKS

Representative Lafferty Of Oregon arose
In the House yesterday in answer to q
newspaper article In Washington paper
and charged that the Associated Press
was controlled by special privileges. The
newspaper article ridiculing Lafferty was
carried insa paper whose owner is presi-
dent of the Associated Press.
Mr.. Laferty said, in part:
II have had considerable experience
with the Associated Press. have defied
that organization ever since / was an
nounced as a candidate for Congress.
defy 1t now, and will continue to do so.
The Associated Press boasts that 1t has
1000 newspapers In the United States. I
have no respect for any member who
comes here and who is afraid to speak
upon a subject which will not bring lauda-
ton from the Associated Press, and there
are such In the House.
IF you are going to represent your
constituencies, sooner or later you are
bound to defy the Associated Press the
same as you are bound to defy special
privilege in all Of its forms, for the Asso-
ciated Press is controlled by special
privilege
Mr.. Lafferty attempted to insert In the
record correspondence with the president
Of the Associated Press regarding his
bill declaring II a monopoly. Representa-
tive Foster of Illinois objected, saying:

lions I'm Coal Fields.

West Virginia does not want the Fed
erai government to investigate the CON-
ditions in the Paint Creek coal district
of that State. In a telegram to Senator
Kern. author of the resolution, providing
for such investigation, former Senator
Watson insists that West Virginia is
fully capable of handling the question.
Since his resolution was introduced.
Senator Kern said yesterday, he had re-
ceived word that Mother Jones. labor
agitator, was being prosecuted by the
military authorities, and for the past
month, he said. Mother Jones has been
on trial at various intervals before a
drum-head court-martial, and the rest Of
the time kept in close confinement.
This. however. had not been allowed to
become known. Senator Kern added
that positive evidence is at hand that
peonage in Its worst form is being prac-
tfced in the mining camps Senator Kern
declared that the Federal government
itself had suppressed the real facts.
