James A. Emery, lawyer for the National Association of Manufacture CTS, says employers want the right to bring contract labor from Europe
 The records of MT Gary's steel trust would show what contract labor means. The steel trusts indulgence in contract labor was largely respon- sible for the final decision of America to end the evil
 MT. Emery is no doubt good law yer. Corporation organizations sell dom employ poor lawyers But we venture to say that MT. Emory knows lot more about law than he does about the feeling of the American people on the subject of contract labor
 He and his employers might as we'll forget about contract labor.
 Here's something funny. The pres ident of the Association of Western Union. Employers, the Western Union Telegraph Company's privately owned "union," sends out letter, to mem bers" in which he seeks to stir up enthusiasm for the organization by saying, ,"Let's make 1t one our MAS TER can be proud to look upon"

WHITEWASHERS
 4A = : WOULD JAIL KELLER

Washington, Feb. o-The house judiciary committee was ridiculed by Congressman Connally for stating in its Daugherty whitewash report that the house has the power to con fine Congressman Keller in jail until he consents to testify before the com m1ttee.
 The Texas 1awmaker quoted the constitution, court decisions, legal au- thorities, precedent and English de- cisions to show that members of the judiciary committee, composed main ly of lawyers, ignored their profes- sion. Congressman Connally based his position on this point:
 Congress has the right to expel membef, because that power is ex- pressly granted under the constitu- tion, but when that member is ex- pe1led his constituents have the pow CT and the right under the constitu- ton to elect a successor to represent them here. But when the house of representatives asserts the right to take from this floor member who represents 100000 or 3oo,ooo people and incarcerate him in the public jail, ties on the floor of this house, be- cause he refuses to testify before a committee, it violates the very prin- ciple upon which the constitutional privilege was established"
 It Is declared the house will not act on the committees recommendation but the lame ducks on the committee have proven their regularity" when the plums are to be distributed after March 4.
 Congressman Thomas of Kentucky l traced the record of the judiciary committee in this case, and showed it's l bias. The speaker referred to the re- fusal of Attorney General Daugherty l to appear before the committee and l be cross-examined
 Congressman Blanton was given | some newspaper publicity because of l his attack on President Gompers in l this case. Congressman Thomas made this scathing reference to his Texas colleague:
 "He (Blanton) has about as much | knowledge of the case as a swan l floating on the broad bosom of mid Atlantic has of the immeasurab1e depths beneath it."
