The funny Baldwin invesdgatlon
committee was skidded into oblivion
by the supreme court last night. This
body ruled that the legislature could
not appoint committees after the
close of the regular session.
So all of the work which the Bald
win body did is declared illegal And
the friends of Chicago teachers are
chuckling.
The Baldwin committee heard the
testimony of all who had grievance,
real or imaginary, against the Teach
ers' Federation; papers played up
testimony against the teachers and
then when the stage was set it "ad-
journed."
With the public mind presumably
made up against the teachers, the
school board found nerve enough to
try to chase the federation from the
schools.
And now the Baldwin committee
has been declared Illegal
With the Baldwin body several
more important and useful commit
tees went into discard.
The Curran charities investigation
committee, which showed that the
United Charities, Chicago's highbrow
social service bunch, was spending
66 cents out of every dollar donated
for salaries and expenses and 35
cents for aid to the poor, is put out
of existence.
The O'Hara vice investigation body
goes. With Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara at it's
head, this committee gave out some
figures about the girl who works in
the State street store or West Side
clothing house that startled the city

There is no doubt that it sends some
