"A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW

Most people who are "exonerated"

sist in saying one thing and meaning

any monopoly on the matter of talking

WHAT HAS THE
PRESENT CONGRESS DONEl


A political poster a recently sent
broadcast by Democratic National
Chairman Cummings. One particular
specimen was removed from the walls
OF a p~ostofdce, where it had been
posted by the deserving Democrat who
is Burlesoning the mails in that To-
cality. This document arraigns the
present congress as a do nothing
body" 1t inquiries: what has the
present Republican congress done?"
That inquiry is the principal stock
in trade now of all the administration
m%outhpieees from the New York
World and Saturday Evening Post
down to the crossroads Democratic
organs. 1t is echoed by mindless
thinkers who habitually fall for cam
paign catch words and sophistical
slogans, no matter how far the
phrases fail in telling the whole
truth.
The National Republican has sew
eral times reviewed the work of the
present congress. 1t has made a
good record of substantial accom-
plishment. 1t Topped a billion dol
lars off the estimates of the admins
tration departments as submitted last
year. 1t is using the axe ON the de-
mands of the Wilson administration
during the present session.
Complaint is actually heard that the
present congress has not succeeded in
placing the operations of government
on an economical peace-time basis.
Such thoughtless suggestions are
based upon a failure to comprehend
the fact that the money spending
branch of the government is still in
the hands of the Wilson administra-
tion. that while the war is over, the
results are by no means over, and
that it is far easier to create an ex-
~trayagant scale of living, either for
an individual or a government, than
1t is t. get things back to normal in
an era of imitation like the present.
The complaint is made that the
present congress has not accom-
plished the great work of after-war
reconstruction. The work of national
reconstruction after the wreck the
present national administration has
made of things viii require a genera
ton. About all n congress could be
expected TO do, in the absence Of CO.
operation from the executive depart
ment at least, would be to begin to
clear up the debris.
The problems confronting congress
today, and which will confront the
next congress and the congresses after
that, are of staggering magnitude.
They have been far easier to create
than they will be to solve. Common
sense people do not expect national
reconstruction to be effected by the
performance of some miracle. They
will be content to see a start made
In the right direction.
1t is no fault of the majority IN
either the present house or senate
that American affairs have been
showed into the background while
Washington has taken the job of look

UNION EFFORTS LED
TO WEST VIRGINIA
COAL WARS DAVIS

CHARLESTOWN. w. Va, July 81.
Conditions in the Guyan Valley coal
fields of West Virginia and incidents
leading up to the march of armed
miners iowa rd that region in Septem-
ber. 1919, are reviewed in the report
Of Major T. S. Davis, acting adjutant
general. who was named to make the
inquiry by Governor Cornwell The
report was made public today
Efforts of United Mine Workers,
members of District II, to unionize
the Guyan field resulted in the march
of miners into Boone county toward
Logan, according to the report The
major charged that certain activities
Of union officials and communications
went out from District II headquar-
ters tended to start the armed inva-
/ sion which. according to state Off
cials, was for the purpose of forcing
organization" upon the Guyan miners.
Several hundred miners from the
union coal fields of southern West
Virginia participated in the march,
which ended in Boone county after
state executives and union officials
had appealed to the men to abandon
the idea of invading Logan county.
Coal operators of the valley do not
employ armed guards, as had been
charged but they are paying monthly,
through their associa ton, to the sher-
iff sum of money which is used to
pay certain deputies, the report said.
This practice is condemned by the ma
jor.
Regarding the cha rye that miners
had been beaten and slugged" in the
Guyan field. the report says that,
while a number of witnesses had tes-
titled that they had been arrested and
beaten, these incidents do not suffice
to sustain this charge or to justify the
wholesale indictment of conditions In
Logan"
Other conclusions reached in the re.
port were: Rates of pay are appar.
emily not below those in union fields
labor, industrial and living conditions
are as good as in the best coal fields
OF the state; witnesses differed ne
garding the question of whether the
miners wanted to be organized; and
that the charge that workers are kept
in the mines by threats and intimida
> tions were not sustained by the evi
dence secured.

house would have provided a separate
commission.
There was little change in the sit
uation in the general assembly today.
1t seemed probable that the session
would continue the greater part of
the present week.
Until yesterday the Republicans in
the senate stood firm for their amend
ments to the home rule bill. and de
in the senate until the home rule
measure was acted upon to their sat
lsfaction.
At a caucus late yesterday. however.
1t was decided to send the Kiper bill
back to the house and thus open the
way for this subject to be put in the
hands of a conference committee. The
senators, through Lieutenant Governor
Edgar D. Bush, declared, they would
continue their firm stand for their
home rule bill.
The fate of both the home rule
bill and the Kiper and Tuthill bills in
conference committees is uncertain.
The conference committee. which has
the home rule bill. expected to meet
today. The Kiper and Tuth1ll ollis
probably will be given to conference
committee today as soon as the house
receives the Kiper bill.
