Locals Support Joint Board.
The Chicago Joint Board has re-
ceived no protest from the local
unions since the adoption of its reso-
luton, many of them have endorsed
it. and the one local of dressmakers
which the Forward depended upon
for opposition has voted for the reso-
luton in recent meeting.

its baseless accusations against the

The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, our union is now en-
gagged In an Intensive organization

Whereas, the organization work is

Whereas, to the knowledge of the

Whereas, II is known to the union
that during the period the work has
been going on a number Of non

action as an act TO bring dishar-

Be II further resolved, that we
call upon the responsible manage

not repeated again, and
Be II further resolved, that this
resolution be sent to all the labor

I'LL. ELECTION
SLUSH fund IS
next ON LIST
Smith and Mckinley
Spent 100000
Especial to The Daily wOrkerl


WASHINGTON, June 16.-An in
vestieation of the Illinois primary cam
paien, in which Col. Frank L. Smith
defeated Senator William Mckinley,
riVaIing the sensational sIush fund
quiz now turned on the Pennsylvania
elections, is foreshadowed by the Reed
senate investigation committee.
Senator Mckinley is reputed to have
spent $4,000 while 100000 or more
is known to have been expended to
elect Smith.
Public Service Corporations.
The senate investigating committee
has already made known its intention
of scrutinizing the source of the huge
funds used in Smiths campaign. A
searchlight will be turned on certain
public service corporations said to
have benefited while Smith was chair
man of the Illinois commerce commits
sion.
Samuel insult, Chicago utility mag
nate, is slated for examination by the
committee to determine if he knows
anything about the Smith war chest.
Smiths Money.
Public service corporations officials
with applications for securities appro-
priation before the state commission
are to be examined for knowledge of
where some of Smiths money might
have come from.
The Crowe-Barrett machine, which
supported Mckinley, claimed they
were helpless before the food of funds
poured into the contest in Chicago in
the last few days efore the election.
Incidentally it should be remembered
that the Chicago Federation of Labor
supported Smith.
Quiz Next Week.
The senate committee is expected to
finish the Pennsylvania investigation
by the end of this week and will then
start on Illinois In the meantime the
Reed committee is discovering that it
has only scratched the surface of the
Pennsylvania slush fund.
Harry A. Mackey, chairman of the
Ware committee was on the stand to-
day. He told an inside story of the
campaign that caused the committee
to issue a new batch Of subpOenas.
Both Ends Against Middle.
Mackey accused Senator Pepper of
playing both ends against the middle
in the election on the wet and dry
issue. "He was wet in the western
part of the state and dry in the east
ern," was the way Mackey put it.

ITO begin where I left off several
4 months ago, "see by the papers"
that Sheriff Hoffman, the honorable
republican custodian Of the Cook coun
ty jail, has commenced thirty-day
rest in Dupage. Wonders will never
cease. To convince a skeptical public
that Hoffman actually went to Jail,
photographers were on the job to
snap him as he entered the pen. A
few more instances like this and the
capitalist press will be telling us that
there is only one kind of a law in
this country for rich and poor. Quite
.rue. The trouble is that the poor get
more of it than the rich.
