SEPARATE PROBE
BY The SENATE
Two Investigations In the Copper
Country Likely

Washington, ID. G, Jan. 27.--Now
that the Democratic members Of the
House have decided that they
will have congressional Investigations
of the Michigan copper country strike
ana of the Colorado strike, the pros
pect is that the Senate Will say me
too, and order parallel Investigations
of both situations on it's own account.
Up To the time the Democratic eau
Gus of the House ordered the House
rules committee to retract it's own
words To the effect that, there is no
federal question involved in either
Michigan or Colorado and To report
out the combined resolution Of Con-
gressmen Macdonald, Of Michigan, and
Heating, of Colorado, there was no in
tention on the part of the Senate to
pay any attention to the resolutions
presented by Senator Ashurst, of Ariz-
ona, for u senatorial investigation Of
the Michigan situation. and by Senator
Thomas, of Colorado. calling for a sim
ilar inquiry in his own state.
Probe Formerly Opposed.
The general sentiment among Demo-
cratic senator's was that the House
rules committee was right i'm holding
that no federal question was involved.
The doctrine of state rights usually
Is observed by Democratic senators
from the south.
Now however. that the House Dem
ocrats have decided Investigations must
be had. the Senate is beginning To feel
that 1t must take similar action or for
felt a fine opportunity to make politi-
cal capital.
Furthermore, the Democratic state
rights senators consider the fact that
going into Michigan ana Colorado will
constitute no invasion OF any southern
state. There is even some dceree OF.
glee III sticking Michigan, a northern
state, where state rights has never
been a paramount issue, with little
OF the bitter medicine against which
the southern states have so long pro-
tested.
Under ordinary circumstances, with
similar resolutions in beth houses. any
investigation that might he ordered
would be carried on jointly.
Each House Goes Own Way.
In this case each House prefers to
go it's own way since the whole pro-
ceeding is sized up as more or less OF
a vote getting matter for members
hailing from states where the Western
Federation of Miners and other inter
ested labor organizations are strong.
Senator Ashurst is willing that the
inquiry be by the House and Senate
Jointly. IT the House investigates the
Arizona senator holds. why, all right |
But let the Senate investigate, too |
Senator Thomas is of The same view. !
The Colorado senator does not want To |
have any House committee nor any
joint committee rob him of the glory |
that will come from the Investigation !
he has called for
So the prospect is that each House |
will receive a report from the COM |
mittee TO which the resolutions were !
sent, recommending that separate in
vestieations he made of the two situa-
tions

REALLY A FORM OF SANDAL
Lace Top Shoes Highly Desirable Ac-

Lace top shoes sound alluring, don't
they? They are really high shoes, cut
in every way like ordinary dress shoes
but the vamp is of colored satin

as a gaiter.
One pair, particularly pretty, showed

OF Plauen lace. Sometimes colored
satin and lace colored to match is
seen, a combination that shows up
we'll when stockings of a different
shade are worn beneath. One pair, a
little more extreme than the others,
has merely the toe part of satin-the
heel of the stocking being allowed to
show through the meshes of the lace,
Here indeed we come back to the
sandal, since nothing could exceed
this lace shoe for transparency.

eating more and dressing better than
tney did ten or fifteen years ago. 1t Is
a question Of supply and demand-we
always get back to that To sum the
matter up in an instance, you can saw
that because the Poles, who formerly
hVed on rye bread. are now demand
ing wheat bread, the world has tn
pay more for its wheat" Which, be-
Ing interpreted, means that living is
higher because more people want
mere things. But do they get them ?
Here are some replies that each NAV
interpret for himself.
German Metal Workers BUDGET
Inc German workman, better situat-
ed than his comrades in industry in
other countries of the continent of
Europe, is shown at his best in a re-
port issued by the Metal Workers
union. This report gives the actual
budgets of income and expense of 800
Of the workmen in this best-paid in
dustry. The average was an income
OF $3.50 year, of which 1915 was from
the Workman's own labor, the rest
from that of his family and aids and
benefits. His annual expense was
$475, divided 1856 for food. drink and
tobacco, $65 for rent and taxes, $55
for clothing, $25 for sick, trades and
other subscription, $40 for sundries,
and, leaving saving of about SIS a
year.
Budget or UnskilIed Laborer.
The figures of the unskilled laborer
are not so favorable, of course. They
are also more difficult to obtain. A
case of a factory laborer's home at
Dusseldorf is not exceptional, how
ever, and serves for testimony. In this
case the fiat which was the workmans
home was on the third floor and con-
sisted of three rooms. The occupants
were a laborer and his family, a wife
and eight children. His wages were
SIS week of so hours The rooms
were IA by 10 feet in size, the rent
81 month and the local taxes $6 a
year. In this case, therefore, the Ia
borer received $3.50 a year and paid
in rent and taxes more than one-third
His wife said that they bought a lit
tie meat for Sundays-about two
pounds; children never ate the meat
but they had the soup. She would
like, she said, to get the children milk
and eggs but could not afford to buy

they may finish with oaly an ordinary
collar, or they may lengthen until
waistline.
Taffeta, as in dresses and coats, is
much in evidence in the latest neck
wear. 1t is seen in pompadour weaves
with their lovely colorings, as well as
in the shaded weaves and solid colors
Taffeta ruches and Medici collars of
the same silk will in measure take
the place of the ostrich feather and
malines neckpieces which have been
in favor SO long, and which are worn
in the early autumn and in the first
warm days of spring when neckpieces
of fur would be too clumsy and warm.
