John B. RATIO AND HIS COMPANY
OF EMINENT ARTISTS

Mr.. RATIO is an impeisonator of remarkable ability
and swayed his audience from screams OF delight to tears
of sadness at will. While most of the program was OF a
humorous nature, here and there he slipped in a touch OF
the darker side of life that never failed to score heavily
and bring handkerchiefs to the eyes of many. One of the
features of his entertainment that was a distinct novelty,
was the "making up Of the character before the audience.
The make uDs were quickly done and as true as was his
impersonation of the character itself. 1t would be hard to
say which number pleased best.

RESOLUTION ASKS
FOR STRIKE INQUIRY

not like to oppose its findings, be-
cause at any moment they may be
seeking favors at its hands and
they like to stand well at court.
ONCE CANNoN's WEAPON
In the old days of Cannon rule,
the Rules Committee was the right
hand of.the Speaker. Its powers
were despotic and it yielded obedi-
ance to no one save Uncle Joe"
himself 1t was his servile, merci-
less tool, and he used it to crush
those members who dared to cross
him. 1t was the arrogant injustice
of this committee which led the
famous insurgent movement among
Republicans in the House some
years ago, and which eliminated
in the defeat of Cannonism and in
the end in the utter rout of the
Republican party and in the cleo
ton of Woodrow Wilson and a
Democratic Congress.
Under Democratic rule the au-
thority of the committee has been
materially curtailed, but, as | have
shown, it is still a power unto it.
self.
After my resolution had lain in
the Rules Committee for several
weeks, rose on the floor of the
House one day-clothed in my
childlike innocence and inexper-
ience touching things Congress
sional-and asked unanimous con-
sent that my resolution might be
taken from the committee and
considered by the House.
The result was very interesting
discussion of the Colorado situa-
ton. Democrats, Republicans and
Progressives united to urge the
adoption of the resolution. There
was no open opposition, and if
vote had been taken | do not be-
lieve a single negative vote would
have been cast. But at that point
Republican Leader Mann made
the point of no quorum and as a
majority of the members were out
of the City we could not proceed.
However, we had been afforded an
opportunity to sound the senti-
ment of Congress. We had shown
that the supporters of the resolu-
tion were in an overwhelming ma
jority and that they we're anxious
for immediate action.

absence of quorum and 80 |
abided my time until the regular
session convened in December.
Then | went to the Chairman of
the Rules Committee aud asked
for hearing. About two weeks
later i was given chance to tell
my story to the Committee, but
quorum was not present and no
action could be taken.
LEADERS URGE INQUIRY
Then began long struggle to
convince the members of the COM
mittee that they should meet and
order favorable report All the
great leaders of the Democratic
party in Washington joined in the
plea. l wish l were at liberty to
tell the story of how these men
turned aside from the considera-
ton of national and even inter
national problems and devoted
hours and days to the endeavor to
bring industrial peace to Colorado.
However, that chapter can not be
written just now In view of the
apparent unanimity of sentiment
in favor of the resolution, | never
doubted what the action of the
Rules Committee would be. l
even went SO far as to predict in
one of these letters that the in
quiry would be under way before
Xmas.
But l did not know the majority
of the members of the Rules Com
mittee. | understand them better
now, and l think | can get their
point of view 1t is not my point
of view. The Democratic caucus
demonstrated the other night that
it is not the Democratic point of
view. But it is an honest point of
view presented by able and even
brilliant gentlemen.
They are States Rights Demo-
Gratis of what | conceive to be an
extreme type. They opposed an
inquiry into the Colorado and
Michigan situations because they
contended that these gigantic in
dustrial conflicts were "local mat
ters," and must be left to local Off
cials
Those of us who supported the
resolution of inquiry held that
wars between capital and labor
which paralyzed the industries of
many commonwealths and inflicted
untold loss and suffering on all
classes of society, might be pri-
marily State matters, but that when
the State refused or neglected TO
deal with them in effective fash
ion it was the duty of the Federal
Government to step in.
Just how far that interference
should be carried we did not un.
dertake to say. We contented our
selves with demanding light, and
insisted that the only way to ascer-
tain all the facts, and the relation
one to the other, was by turning
the search light of Congressional
inquiry on the strike districts of
Michigan and Colorado.
CALL FOR A CAUCUS
When it became apparent that a
majority of the Rules Committee
was determined to refuse to give
the House chance to vote on nv
resolution, took the only course
which remained open to me. |
prepared and circulated call for
caucus of the Democrats of the
House. With the aid of friends |
secured GO signatures in an hour
and half and the caucus CON
