Miners COUNSEL
ORJECT TO THE
QUESTIONING

Hancock, Mich, Feb. 14.--''We can
not recognize the Western Federation
of Miners because 1t is soeialistiC
in its aims and tendencies and be
cause it is made UP in this district
largely of socialists declared A. F
Rees Of counsel for the mining com
panies at the congressional strike in
! vestigation this morning.
The statement was made in explain
alton Of question asked the witness
to which A. w. Kerr, counsel for the
copper mine strikers, objected on tile
ground that it was part Of an effort
to show that the strike was fostered
and fathered by red socialism. II was
the same question asked Of another
witness yesterday arousing similar
objection.
Are you member Of the Finnish
socialist society,""
John Jauhhanan, the witness, was
told that he need not answer the
question unless he desired. The wit
ness replied, however, that he did not
belong to the society. He thought its
name was Jeusi. He did not know
its membership.
Mr.. Kerr objected vigorously to the
line Of cross-examination.
AT the inception Of the strike, he
said, the mining companies made no
claim that it was being conducted by
red socialism, They set up that cry
a few weeks ago when every other
resort had been exhausted"
rs there anything degrading lin
a mans admitting that he is a social
ist?" asked Congressman Switzer.
mo" replied Mr.. Kerr, ''but these
questions are being asked simply to
confuse the issue"
Mr.. Switzeri expressed the opinion
that if witnesses introduced belonged
to organizations which had for their
object the overthrow of the govern
ment Of the United States the com
mittee ought to know 1t.
Chairman Taylor agreed with him,
but doubted whether a witness could
be forced to answer questions along
this line without infringing on his
rights under our form Of government

the lawyers of the state argued that

p. M. General
FavorS Change

The announcement that Postmaster
General Burleson favors change IN
the rural delivery system whereby
carriers will have to bid for the work
and obtain it by bidding lower than
any one else, is causing great appre-
hension among rural carriers all over
the country. This is the old star-route
system revived. Under II. the bidder
would no doubt be allowed to take
on as many contracts as he could
handle, and every rural carrier would
become the employe OF the contractor,
instead OF Uncle Sam as he is now.
In time, the contractor could become
a big corporation which would fix tho
compensation OF the men who do the
work at $500 to $500 year. instead
OF $1,000 to $1,000 which the govern
ment now pays them direct, and the
contractor would get rich on the work
of the carriers. The contractor would
come to own the horses, wagons or
automobiles and the carrier would be-
come q mere driver.
