His Views to Two of the
House Committees.
REPUBLICANS PRESENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-While
senators of the interstate commerce
| committee were comforting with Presi-
dent Wilson today on the antitrust leg
lslative programme, Progressive party
leaders in and out of congress were ex'
planning their views on the handling
of the trust problem to house commit
tees.
The conference at the White house
ceuterod upon improvement of the In"
terstate trade commission bill as
drafted by the house judiciary subcom-
nittee. Interest was added TO the
meeting by assurances Of corporation
with the Democrats by Republican
members of the committee.
Senators Oliver and Lippittt paI,tici-
pated in the discussion, having been
urged by Chairman Newlands TO draft
amendments TO the trade commission
bill, which would act as safeguard
against unnecessary publicity concern
ing corporations innocent of any Vlo"
lation of law.
The committee plans to complete its
revision of tho bill next week. Pro
visions to insure Investigations by the
proposed trace commission by due pro-
cess OF law will be added to the bill,
thus TO prevent any possibility of ap-
peal from DEGREES on account Of the
CONSTITUTIONAL arrangements.

of the necessary degree OF conccntra-

We nnve cot 10 allow n certain de-
gree of concentration among corpora

Smith. "There should be an automa-

HANCOCK. Mich, Feb. 11.--Si1teen
striking copper mine workers testified
today before the congressional investi-
gators that they were compelled to
toll under dangerous and insanitary
conditions for wages that barely en-
abled them to exist The contract sys-
tenn of pay was generally condemned.
The committee has decided to go to
Calumet to investigate the italian hall
disaster on Christmas eve as relating to
the deportation of Charles II. Meyer,
president of the Western Federation OF
Miners. two nights later. There is some
difference Of opinion between members
as to the scope Of the inquiry
on this subject, D. n. Hilton,
senior counsel for the federation,
today asked the committee for full in
auiry as necessary to establish his
charge that Meyer constitutional
rights were invaded.
Hilton's Charges.
Hilton charged that the panic was
caused by a man who wore "Citi-
zens alliance button appearing in
the doorway of the hall, shouting
s'Fire, Fire! Everybody rush.'' In
auiry into the violation of constitution
al rights requires an investigation into
this question, he said.
''Tbis inquiry we ask in justice TO
the parents whose children were killed
in this outrage"
He asked for hearing Of two days
IN Calumet, where the mothers or the
fathers Of the children could be heard.

ditiOns have become worse Chairman
Taylor requested.
"The men have been required to do
more work, - the witness replied, and
if they were unable to do the work they
received treatment unfit for one man
to receive from another. Sometimes
the bosses tell them they are Ignorant
and don 4 know any more than q
wooden horse When men complain
they get harsher treatment than those
who keep silent.
Waahti testified that on one occa-
sion he was injured by falling rock,
which required three men to remove

POISONED BY THE GRIP

The grip is no respecter of persons
No age or station of life is exempt from
it. The grip is not fatal disease but i,
leaves its victim in such debilitated
condition that one of our foremost medi.
cal writers has been led to say, "It ID
astonishing the number Of people who
have been crippled in health for year,
after an attack" 1t is common thing
to hear people date various ailments from
an attack OF infuenza.
The condition of those who have had
the grip is one that calls for tonic for
the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
especially adapted to meet this need as
they purify and enrich the blood, tone
up the nerves and give vigor, strength
and health to the debilitated system.
''The grip left me without any vitality

lief, "and I lost all appetite and ambition.
