REPORT T0P[ACE
BLAME ON OWNERS
Committee Probing Copper
Mine Strike Expected to
Denounce Operators.

The House committee that has been in
vestigating conditions in the Michigan
copper mine strike area returned here
today and portrayed remarkable situa-
ton in the strike territory. indicating
that its coming report will denounce the
mine owners for refusing to allow the
thousands of copper miners to work
without renouncing their unions.
Chairman Taylor of the committee ar
raigned the use Of armed men sent from
outside the state at the instance OF the
mine owners, pictured the miserable con-
dition of the men on strike and announc-
ed that the committee would later on OBJ
tain further evidence from the books Of
the Calumet-Hecla Copper Company, at
Boston, give a hearing to John Mitchell
the labor leader and probably present a
report to the House through the full
committee on mines by May 1.
The investigating committee does not
approve the attitude of the mining COM
panies in denying the right of the miners
to belong to union, and will condemn
the mine owners for their insistence upon
the surrender Of union cards.
Calls It Unamerican.
THE companies" said Chairman Tay-
lor, have the right not to recognize the
union. and the men have the right to
belong to q union. 1t is an unamerican
proposition to deny man the right to
belong to some organization.
The Western Federation of Miners is
distinctly metalliferous organization;
these strikers could belong to no other
such organization, and denial of their
right to its membership means denial OF
their right to belong to any union. The
Citizens Alliance. the organization Of
citizens. is working along this line Of
driving the Western Federation Of Miners
off the map.

Higher Taxes Not Needed.

Fourteenth. Census bulletin 11S demon
strates that there is no necessity for In
creasing taxation either by increasing
the assessment or increasing the rate.
Neither is there any necessity for adding
new forms Of taxation. since our taxation
is sufficient and above the average Of the
other cities.
Fifteenth. No reason appears for add
ing new forms of taxation. which are
being discarded elsewhere, notably the
tax on Intangible property.
Sixteenth. AS to the untaxed land hold
the congressional reports nor the private
statements turn on their exact proper
ton to private property. 1t is officially
stated, of course, that of the original
city area over 81 per cent was taken by
the national government in fee simple
lions. The old city is still the greatest
part Of the built-up portion of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and includes all its
most valuable real estate. Besides this
the national government owns about
3,COQ acres outside of the old federal city
1t Is notorious that 1t has acquired large
tracts of land. partly by river front i'm
provement and partly by acquisition. all
of the latter being directly Withdrawn
from former taxable area. 1t has at
leaSt an equal hOldlng in ValCe TO the
land in private hands Congress has also
literally exempted ecclesiastical, chart
table and educational property from
taxation. reducing the taxable area.
Seventeenth. The congressional reports
are most emphatic in resisting the argu-
ment for the nations contribution to the
upbuilding of its capital upon its national
character, and the exclusive control Of
the national government, and not upon
the proportion of land held by 1t here.
Planned larger Contribution.
Eighteenth. The makers of the organic
act" of 1878 considered providing a larger
contribution by the national government
than half of the expense of the National
Capital. They considered the proposition
of having the District people pay reason
able average taxes and having the United
States pay whatever else was needed.
even if it was two-thirds of the whole
expense. But they wisely decided that
it was better to have the United States
pay only one-half of the expense under
definite. permanent arrangement than
to leave the national contribution to de-
pend in the language of Mr.. Blackburn
of Kentucky, who reported the Organic
act to the House. on the "whim and
caprice of each recurring session, there
