To Quit Writing Stories.

BY Mr.. Creers direction the commit
tee is to abandon the practice OF pre-
pairing news stories" for the newspa-
pers. and will confine its statements to
bald official announcements. without
establishment. elaboration or the ap-
plication of imagination.
1t is probable that this change of
policy will entail reduction in the
working force of writers employed by
the committee.
At the same time the committee is
reaching out to obtain all the authority
possible to enable it to concentrate in
it's own hands the control of the gov
ernmental news.
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment recently was induced to issue
confidential instructions to all re-
sponsible officials of that department to
make the Creel committee 1.-The sole
medium for the issue of war news from
the War Department" The officials
were instructed to treat representa-
tives of the committee as officials of
the government and not as newspaper
men.

URGESu.S. CONTROL
Of COPPER MINING
In House Speech Representa-
tive Jeanette Rankin At
tacks J. D. Ryan.
CAUSED RIOTS, SHE SAYS

John D. Ryan. president of the Anal
gamated Copper Company, now in
Washington engaged in Red Cross
work. was attacked on the floor of the
House today by Representative Jean
nette Rankin of Montana. who claimed
Mr.. Ryan is directly and individually
responsible for the riots and strikes
among the copper miners Of her state.
She also advocated the immediate TAX
Ing over Of all copper mines, that they
may be operated by the government.
and introduced a resolution to that eff
feet.
She described the "rustling card" sys-
tenn, which, she said, operates in a
manner which prevents a miner from
obtaining job unless he has rus
ting card" practically a company per-
nit to find job II he can get one. The
card means the miner is not a strike
agitator and has a good record. This
system, said Miss Rankin. is what the
miners object to and 1t is what has
tied up the copper industry.

As Government officials.

These representatives of the COM
mittee." said the Secretary. will be
treated with confidence, There should
be a clear understanding that they are
not members of the press. but govern
ment employees under oath, entitled to
all proper confidence. When chiefs of
the bureaus and offices find it necessary
to discuss with these representatives
information that they believe should
not be made public they need only to
give intimation to that effect. They
should give freely not only information
specifically requested, but any informa-
ton which the chiefs of bureaus or
Offices believe should be made public"
1t is asserted by officials of the Creel
committee that this does not mean that
Brig. Gen. Frank Mcintyre has been
displaced as press censor for the War
Department. On the contrary. it was
said. all war news must first be passed
by Gen. Mcintyre, and. II it is regarded
as necessary to issue formal state
ment, a copy of the statement is sent
to the committee on public information
for copying and distribution. A similar
policy probably will be adopted in
other departments.

Quotes the Newspapers.

Senator Williams began his arraign-
ment with the reading of several arti-
cles from newspapers in which the OBJ
structionists in the Senate were de-
nounced. one of them quoted Oscar
Straus. former Secretary Of Commerce
under a republican administration. to
the effect that there are no politics in
this country today except on Capitol
Hill, that the people are behind the
President, and that he. too, was an adj
ministration man.
This is from one Of the most dis
tinguished republican citizens of the
United States" said Senator Williams.
"a man who was former Secretary OF
Commerce and who has done much
work for the Red Cross. man of
acute intellect
Il am glad to say" he continued.
that the majority of the republican
party and the majority of the demo-
Gratis in this chamber are standing to-
gether But there is q little group OF
men on each side who are apti-admints-
tration, and, whether consciously or un-
consciously, anti-American, who oppose
everything that goes to seeing this
trouble through.
Il think the majority here should get
together and say to these little groups.
America is tired of you. We are tired Of
you and we want to do something

Discusses the Strikes.

Discusses the Strikes.
Representative Rankin. in speaking
of the strikes. said:
John D. Ryan of New York. the
president of the Amalgamated Copper
Company. is the man responsible for
this situation. You probably are all
familiar with Mr.. Ryan's name in con-
nection with his recent utilization with
the activities of the American Red
Cross. If Mr.. Ryan says the rustling
card system must be abolished, it will
be. l have tried in vain to draw this
fact to his attention. however. My
kilograms have reached Mr.. Ryan. but
as yet / have received no response.
1T was with regard to these same
mines that the newspapers some
months ago were filled with the news
of large government purchases of cop
per for the war. Through the patriotic
efforts of some prominent men the gov
eminent was able to get copper for
1857 cents pound when the market price
was 80 cents. At this price the gov
eminent purchased 6o.ooo.oo0 pounds Of
copper. and later purchased 10000. 900
pounds more. However. the companies
refused to accept this same price. and
they are now waiting for the COM
mittee on war purchases to say what 1t
will pay.
Not Made Public, She Says.
This incident has received no publ
city. but 1t IL Interesting to the Ameri-
can people to know that II the COM
mittse sets the price at the present
market price. this ono purchase will
cost the government 100000 moro
than the advertised price. Added to
this, the copper interests rave the ad-
list.
'CndeF these circumstances, believe
that 1t is imperative that the President
Of the United States, the comma nder- in
chief of the Army, be given the power
to take over the metaliifsrous mines
and operate them for the benefit of the
nation"

Lauds Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt.

Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft, he said,

tired, and two-thirds of the Senate are
tired. and the large majority of the

blefest which has been going on in the
Senate.
II think this food control bill is one
of the minor war measures; it may do

out of the way. There is a great reve-

come. All this talk here in the Senate
is not changing vote, and every sem
ator knows it"
Senator Weeks. denying any desire to
delay Legislation for the war or to en-
barrass the President in any way in
the conduct of the war. replied to SEN
ator Williams that majority of the
Senate had voted. So to 81. in support

Subcommittee Fails to Act.

Senator Weeks said that when he Of
fered the resolution for a committee on
the conduct of the war last April it
had been referred to the Senate rules
committee, and to a subcommittee, and
that the next day President Wilson had
come to the Capitol and told the mem
bers of the subcommittee that the leg
islation was not desirable
From that time on, he said, nothing
was done by the subcommittee. and no
meeting was held.
Amy senator who knows me will
absolve me from any desire to en-
barrass the President" said Senator
Weeks. Il offered the resolution be-
cause / thought it offered an oppor-
tunity for Congress to cooperate with

solutely that l ever thought of em-
barrassing the President"

Gore had been an obstructionist on this
bill and other war measures. and that he
had used the stiletto style OF attack.

Senator Chamberlain replied that il there
is any tattooing TO be done, il would be
well to tattoo ''obstruct' on the brow OF
