Chairman Taylorlntimates Moth
ing Has Been Suggested in
Way Of Remedial Laws
NONE OF THE CHARGES PROVED
Committee Gets no Tangible
Suggestions From Either
Mitchell or Macdonald

Washington. March 25.-That moth
ing is to come Of the federal investi-
cation into the Michigan copper coun-
try situation was evidenced when
Chairman Edward T. Taylor, of the
congressional committee, inquired of
John Mitchell labor leader, whether he
had any suggestions along the line
Of remedial legislation to prevent
recurrence Of the recent strike and its
attendant conditions.
Mr. Mitchell replied that he had been
unable TO think of any. tle added that
he expected the recently created de-
partmeut of labor to prove of service
in this line in due time. and he de-
clared prohibition Of interstate ship
ment of strikebreakers and gunner
would be Of benefit. But he could sug-
gest no legislative program TO pre-
vent another such controversy, nor
had the committee any suggestion.
1t is clear that the investigation is
going TO end like all the rest of the
congressional investigation-in re-
cital of several thousand pages of con-
hicting testimony without a single tan
| gible suggestion whereby those inter
ested will be one whit better off than
! before the Investigation was ordered
Mr. Mitchell was given all the time
he desired. so was Congressman VIII
| liam j. Macdonald, Of Calumet, Mich.
| Chairman Taylor stated afterward
that he desired these men Co have am
pie opportunity to speak before tho
committee, lest at some future time Il
be asserted that they were not given a
chance to be heard.
But the chairman added that moth
ing new was developed either by way
Of suggestion or of information.
Congressman Macdonald attempted
to justify his course in bringing about
the congressional investigation. Ills
resolution which occasioned the in
quiry. alleged that conditions existed
i'm the copper country contrary To tn,
constitution. No one of the contentious
was proved 10y the investigation. anc
Mr.. Macdonald took occasion 10 tel
the committee that he was in bad odol
with the mine operators and he in.
. sisted that the workingman was in ;
bad way,
Chairman Taylor stated that th'
committee would like to hear Presi
dent Quincy A. Shaw, of the Calumc
q Hecla company and ne declared tina
/ he then would end the hearings.

Commerce which is 10 meet in Paris
next June such is the announcement

The fact that the variable date for

as stupendous a task as confront
ed Woodrow Wilson in the nation
on March A, 1918, now faces Tom
Rye in the state of Tennessee.
AS Wilson was equal to his OPP
portunity, SO will Rye be to his.
What Wilson did for his party in
the nation, for his country
through his party, Rye will re-
produce in Tennessee by placing
his party in the position to re-
tain = because meriting-the con-
fidence of the people of this
state, and by putting Tennessee
in the front rank of peaceful,
progressive and prosperous
states.
Rye is clean, able, honest, fear
less and intelligent, and has a
will of his own. He wins and
draws and holds men to him. He
will be as great a governor as he
has been big and clean as can
didate. 1t is the duty of every
one to uphold his hands and as
sist in making his administration
unparalleled in achievement.
There will be critics and dis
turbers who will wish to destroy
peace because they did not bring
it, to ruin the party which has
not listened to their unsound ad-
vice, but let us meet them as
they seek to rise by reminding
all men in Tennessee that the
welfare of the state and the
faith of the party are greater
than the fortunes of any indivi-
dual.
