Washington Letter,
By Edward Heating,
Conglessman-at-Large
From Colorado.

All my readers are probably
acquainted with the action of the
Democratic caucus of the. House
If Representatives or my reso-
luton calling for the appointment
of a Congressional Committee to
INQUIRE into everything connect
ed with the coal strike in Color
ado. The news agencies have
told the story of how after a
prolonged discussion the caucus
bv the decisive vote of 149 to II
reversed the decision of the pow
erful Rules committee, and dl-
rected that my resolution be
brought out on the floor of the
House, and the members given
an opportunity to vote on 1t.
Many of the most interesting
phases of the contest were not
touched upon in the telegraphic
stories, and as they are instruct
i've and Illuminating side lighths
on Congressional procedure, |
feel that they may we'll be set
down in this report.
While in Colorado last October
1 announced that l would ask
Congress to investigate the coal
strike and the causes leading up
to the unfortunate conflict. MY
hope was that such an inquiry
conducted by an able and impair
tial committee, would develop
facts which would crystalize pub
lie sentiment in favor Of a prompt
and peaceable settlement Of the
dispute and that that sentiment
would be so overwhelming in its
Cheyenne record., 1914-01-29

thori+y of the committee has
been materially curtailed, but as
l have shown, it is still a power
unto itself.
After my resolution had lain
in the Rules Committee for sew
eral weeks, l rose on the floor of
the House one day, clothed in my
childlike innocence and inexper-
ience touching things Congress-
ional, and asked unanimous con-
sent that my resolution might be
taken from the committee and
considered by the House.
The result Was a very interest
ing discussion of the Colorado
situation. Democrats, Republi-
cans and Progressives united to
urge the adoption of the resolu-
ton, and if a vote had been ta-
ken do not believe single neg
ative 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 oppar-
tunity to sound the sentiment of
Congress. We had shown that
the supporters of the resolution
were in an overwhelming majori-
ty and that they were anxious
for immediate action.
Nothing could be done in the
absence Of a quorum and so !
abided my time until the regular
session convened in December.
Then l went to the Chairman of
the Rules Committee and asked
for a hearing. About two weeks
later I was given a chance to tell
my story to the Committee. but
a quorum was not present and
no action could be taken.
Cheyenne record., 1914-01-29
LEADERS URGE INQUIRY

Then began a long struggle to
convince members Of the COM
mittee that they should meet and
order a 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
consideration of national and
even international problems and
devoted hours and days to the
endeavor to bring industrial
peace to Colorado. However.
that chapter cannot be written
just now. In view Of the appar-
ent 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 be-
fore Xmas.
But | did know the majority of
the members Of the Rules Com
mittee. understand them bet
ter now, and l think I can gel
their point of view. 1t is not ms
point Of view. The Democratic
caucus demonstrated the other
night that it is not the Democrat
ic point OF view. But it is an
honest point of view presented
by able and even brilliant gentle
men.
They are States Rights DEM
ocrats of what I conceive to be
an extreme type. They opposed
al inquiry into the Colorado and
Michigan situations because they
contended that these gigantic in
(Continucd en- last paSe)
Cheyenne record., 1914-01-29

the committee are agreeable.
In the case Of all other commit
tees there is provided a means
by which bills may be taken
from them and placed before the
House.
The Rules Committee has many
other perogatives. 1t may facil-
ltate legislation by bringing in Il
rule" providing that a bill shall
be considered by the House, linn
iting the time to be consumed in
debate, fixing the exact minute
when a vote shall be taken, and
even deciding how many amend
ments shall be offered to the
measure. Naturally a commit
tee clothed with such powers has
much influence in the House.
Members do not like to oppose
its findings, because at any mo-
ment they may be seeking favors
at its hands and they like to
stand we'll 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 obedience to no one save
Uncle Joe" himself. 1t was
his servile,, merciless tool, and
he used to crush those members
who dared to cross him. 1t was
the arrogant injustice Of this
committee which lead the famous
insurgent movement among Re-
publicans in the house some years
ago, and which eliminated in the
defeat of Cannonism and in the
end in the utter rout of the Re-
publican party and in the elec-
ton of Woodrow Wilson and
Democratic Congress.
Under Democratic rule the au-

manifestation that both parties
to the conflict would be con-
strained to materially modify
their positions.
RESOLUTION WAS BROAD.
When returned to Washing
ton. l laid the Colorado situation
before President Wilson, Secre-
tary of Labor. Speaker Clark,
Democratic leader, Underwood,
and the colorado Senators, and
finally on October 81, introduced
my resolution calling for a Con-
gressional inquiry. Its provis-
ions were so broad and so mani
festly fair that l felt it would
command the support of every
one who was honestly seeking
the answer to our industrial enig-
mas. 1t directed the investiga-
ting committee to probe the
methods of the Union just as
vigorously as those of the coal
operators.
did not feel then, and I do
not feel now, that the laying
bare of the truth, can injure any
individual or interest in Colorado
which should not be injured,
My resolution was referred to
the Committee on Rules. 1t con-
sists of seven Democrats, three
Republicans and one Progressive.
1T is the one committee of the
House which cannot be discharg-
ed from the consideration Of
bill or resolution except by unan-
imous vote of the House.
In other words, when the Rules
Committee becomes possessed of
a bill or resolution, the Houses
loses control of that measure and
it cannot be brought out on the
floor Of the House for discussion
or a vote unless the members of
