The report continues. "A marked
improvement has been shown in the
discipline during the past year. The

brick and in the gardens and on the

The congressional investigation COM
mittee that was investigating the strike
of the Western Federation against the
copper companies in the Michigan penin-
sua was brought to a practical close in
Chicago last Wednesday and Chairman
Taylor and the other members of the
committee left for Washington Wednes-
day, where John Mitchell will appear
before the committee, and the books of
the Calumet & Hecla Company and some
of the big officers will be put on the
rack.
The Bulletin gave last week the de-
tails of the Chicago hearing to a great
extent. 1t may be said that some dam
aging testimony was presented by ex-
gun men of the companies that opened
the eyes of the committee and those
present as to the methods in vogue.
President Meyer was on the stand for
more than an hour and made an ad
mirable and convincing witness, and
there is no doubt but his straightfor-
ward answers to the questions put by
the company lawyers and the commit
tee members were a revelation. All eff
forts upon the part of the opposition
attorneys to befuddle him failed and he
completely turned the tables on them.
The climax of the whole situation
came when, in response to question
from Chairman Taylor as to how far
he would go to secure settlement, he
said he would withdraw the Federation
and leave the matter entirely in the
hon nd nf 10 OF
bombshell into the operators repre-
sentatives, who had claimed all along
that if the Federation would follow
such a course the strike would close and
the men out taken back. But when
President Meyer put it right up to them,
upon questioning if they would agree to
this by Chairman Taylor and Congress
man Casey, they stated that they could
not answer this fair proposal, which was
n practical denial of a peace proposal
from the congressional committee and
the establishing of the contention OF the
miners that the companies did not want
a settlement.
The Chicago hearings We're all to the
benefit of the Federation and certainly
opened the eyes of the committee as to
who was at fault.
NJ. ]. Reilly, an old Denver boy, has
charge of the work of the miners in
Chicago in combating the efforts of the
owners to secure strikebreakers. and it
is needless to say he is making a good
job of it.
1t is hoped that the companies may
see the light and meet the Western
Federation at least half way in seeking
a settlement, as no more fair or more
generous offer have | ever known to be
made. as coming from President Meyer,
in a labor battle. Certain it is that a
wave OF feeling against the operators
will 90 through the country when the
report OF the committee gets full pub
lication. as it can bc plainly shown that
they are m- American. Christian. even
uncivilized in their present attitude.
The Western Federation OF Miners is
prepared to carry on the fight to the
end and care for those affected. 1t is
expected the companies will begin the
eviction of the strikers shortly, unless

CoLoRADOS CONGRESSMAN AND MICHIGAN INVESTIGATION

"In bidding the congressional commit
tee good-by the Bulletin desire to pay
tribute to the eminent fairness that has
characterized all of its deliberations in
an earnest desire to ascertain the real
facts.
Chairman Edward T. Taylor of Colo
RADIO has been abused and ridiculed from
the outset by the squirrel headed edi-
torial writer of the Gazette; but, never
theless, has presided at all times with
dignity and decorum, treating all such
cowardly attacks with the contempt
that they have deserved. To him and
the other members of the committee, as
the only tribunal before whom the strik-
ing miners have ever had opportunity to
present the story OF their many griev-
ances, the miners return their earnest
and sincere thanks, fully convinced of
the eminent business OF all their demands
and that the proofs adduced before the
committee have been complete and over
whelming on every specification con-
tanned in the resolution, and we shall
await the report of the committee with
the fullest confidence and pleasure.
Colorado, of the Glenwood Springs MEM
ber of the House, Edward T. Taylor,

some one in authority, with the brain
capacity of a nit louise, can see the ad-
visibility of cutting it out, at least
until after the committee reports.
The committee will give the attorneys
on each side 10 days after the final testi-
mony IS in to file briefs, and then will
proceed to make its report to Congress,
which is likely to happen early in May.
The Hon. Edward T. Taylor, one of
our Colorado congressman and chairman
of the sui. committee, has been untiring
in his efforts on this committee. He
has been deeply interested and organized
labor. not only of Colorado but of the
country as well, looks for him to take
the lead in publishing to the world a
full exposure of the methods of the EN-
ployers in vogue in that section. As to
what he thinks of the situation, and a
forecast of his position, the following
interview by him, published in the
Washington Star OF last Thursday has
the right sound:
"The House committee that has been
investigating conditions in the Michigan
copper mine strike area returned today
and portrayed remarkable situation in
the strike territory, indicating that its
coming report will denounce the mine
owners for refusing to allow the thou
sands of copper miners to work without
renouncing their unions.
Chairman Edward T. Taylor of the
committee arraigned the use of armed
men sent from outside the state at the
instance of the mine owners, pictured
the miserable condition of the men on
strike and announced that the commit
tee would later on obtain further evil
dence from the books of the Calumet &
Hecla Copper Company at Boston, give
a hearing to John Mitchell. the labor
leader, and probably present report
to the House through the full commit
tee on mines by May l.
"The investigating committee does not
approve the attitude of the mining COM
panies in denying the right of the min
ers to belong to union, and will con-
denim the mine owners for their in
sistence upon the surrender of union
cards.
The companies. said Chairman Tay-
lor, have the right not to recognize the
union. and the men have the right to
belong to 4 union. 1t is an un-American
proposition to deny man the right to
belong to some organization.
