SUMMING 1T UP.

The mining companies, the militia
and the sheriff were given only one
week IN which to present testimony in
RECITATION Of that offered by the West
ern Federation Of Miners in the strike
inquiry. The federation was accorded
three weeks, no limit being put on the
scope OF the testimony it desired to
submit.
The attorneys for the operators were
not favorable TO the conclusion Of the
copper country sessions of the congress
sional committee Saturday night, but
acceded TO the committees wishes.
The companies, Counsel Rees de-
oIsred, could have produced sixteen
hundred additional witnesses il neces.

rony.
But probably the committeeman had
heard enough to convince them that
the federation had failed to make out
a case, for in Just one week the oper-
ators attorneys produced enough facts
to conclusively prove the faIsity of the
charges brought by the Meyer Maho-
ney- n ilton Kerr outfit. All fair-mind
ed people who closely followed the
testimony Of both the federation and
the operators must be convinced OF
this. We do not know how the COM
mittee feels about It, but the fact re-
mains II was unwilling to stay any
longer TO hear what further evidence
the companies had to offer. The natu-
raj conclusion to be drawn, in all fair
ness 10 the committee, IS that Il had
sufficient data on which to base a re-
port.
The hearings involved seven subjects
Of inquiry That is seven subjects
were specifically enumerated-peonage,
interference with mails, violations Of
the in1n grafton laws, interference with
constitutional rights. importation Of
firearms, restraint Of trade and causes
leading up &c the general situation.
Not one Of the allegations Of the fed
GRAFTON has been proven. The operators
testimony was conclusive of the alb
surdity Of the charges. And unless the
committee is bIindly partisan such
should be It's report.
Near the end Of the federation's case
Counsel Hilton admitted to the com
noittee that the strikers no longer had
any grievances bat that they still in.
sisted on retaining their union mem
bershlps.
So the investigation has merely
brought out the identical fact which
Governor Ferris found in his personal
inquiry, that recognition Of the West
ern Federation Of Miners is the only
issue and with that organization elm
mated industrial peace would be quick
" restored in the copper country.

INVESTIGATIONS.

The present Congress has made a
record for Investigations which is not
an enyiable one. comments The Ma
tional Stakeholder published at Wash
ington, y. G. For some reason it has
been deemed desirable for Senate and
House committees to invade states
ana conduct Investigations in matters
peculiarly within the purview of the
stat, itself. In most cases there has
not been "a single fundamental federal
question involved, but the resolutions
of inquiry were so drawn as to legalize
the Investigation by introducing the
suggestion OF Interference with the
postofice, peonage, deprivation oc
rights Of citizens, and other things
which, it they existed, would have
warranted a federal investigation.
