HANCOCK. Mich., Feb. U-Whcther
the Western Federation of Minora will
bo Included In the present Inquiry wilt
not bo determined by tho congressional
committee which I Investigating tho
strike of tho copper miners, until tho two
absent members of the committee arrive.
This announcement wnamado- by Con
gressman Taylor, chairman of tho com
mittee. In response to a question .yester
day from Allan F. Bees .of counsel for
the mining companies. In order to show
that no employe had been discriminated
against because of his membership In the
union, attorneys for;the companies have
asked each witness whether Ha was a
member of tho federation, and If so, for
how long a time. - 1
An offer to submit the Western Fed
eration of Miners to fl searching Investi
gation If an equally full Inquiry was af
forded Into the affairs of ' Ihn Calumet
and Heel a Mining company, .was made
today at tho opening of the hearing.
"I want to meet the exhibition of
buncombe made yesterday, by counsel for
tho pthcr side," said 6. Jf! Hilton of
counsel for the union, "in asking whether
the Western Federation was ti bo ex
cluded from this investigation. We are
wilting for an Investigation of tho federa
tion if the Calumet und Hccln. company
also Is Investigated Wo would like to
Inquire- Into Its Interlocking directorates,
Its operations In stocks1 and Into Its of
ficers, Wo desire latitude also to In
vestigate tho Citizens' alliance."
Chairman Taylor said that the com
mitteo wanted to give both sides wlde
latitude to Inquire" Into anything per
taining to the strike situation and , the
causes leading to It
"If. all theso causes mre merely offored
for tho purpose of crimination and not to
assist In getting at the bottom of the
trouble." ho continued, "I don't think
wo would want to tnqulro into them
don't suppose the mining companies want
to go Into tho murder of dovernor
Bteunenbcrg and other events that have
toeen charged against the federation
elsewhere In tho past. If wo did. It
would require a year or more; We must
confine dursclves to something germane
to the situation here."
Ilepresentatlvo Ilobcrt M. Hwllxcr of
Ohio arrived today and sat with tho com
mittee. Representative- .Hamlin of Mis.
pour! Is now tho onlynlfs"entoo.
Tho announcement was mode that tho
hearings would bo .held - at the county
court houso In Houghton beginning Mon
day, owing to tho limited capacity of the
hall hero.
Retailers, of Omaha
Transient salesmen who pay no taxes
In Omaha and have no established busi
ness here aro In bad favor with tho As
sociated Retailers of Omaha. Also Rome
Miller, proprietor of the Hotel Home. Is
being criticized by the Ilctatlers' nssocla-.
tlon .for renting rooms to such transient
Dalesmen. .
At the regular monthly mooting of the
Associated Retailers of Omaha at the
Paxton hotel Thursday a committee con
sisting of Robert Rosenzwelg, V. 8.
ltoteman.and A. T. , Uenwn was ap
pointed to wait upon Rome Mlltor with
a 'complaint against his housing such
transient salesmen. It was when Rome
Miller complains! to the Commercial
club of. the club's serving banquets that
tho retailers took up tho fight against
his housing transient salesmen who
'come hero and sell goods direct to consumers.
A circular letter from tho German Alli
ance to some of tho retailers attracted
considerable comment during the course
of tho meeting. The letter sets forth
that some of tho retailers are not giving
sufficient patronage to tho German
Tribune, tho German paper pub
lished In Omaha . by, Vol Peter, and
further suggests that "Wo think the
best way to show our appreciation, other
things being equal, Is to. prefer those
who favor us." No wtlon was taken on
tho matter by the retailers, as It was
held that since the tetters were written
to Individuals and not to tho association,
It might not be a proper subject for the
association to act upon.
Frosts Feet While
Doing Charity. Work
for Taylor Family
Babies and Other
Live Animals Barred
from the Parcel Post
WASHINGTON, Feb. .-Bables are
not mailable. The Postotflco department
so holds In an edict -today barring them
from the parcel past.
Tho question aroso over a request by
the postmaster at Stratford, Ok!., for a
ruling by the department as to whether
a patroii of his office could send a 2-year-old
child by parcel post. from Twin Falls,
Idaho, to Stratford, Tho postmaster was
greatly puzzlcdv' because lie could find
nothing In the regulations covering such
a case. So ho referred it to tho Postofflce
department.
It was tho first time the authorities had
been asked' to rulo upon tho Question and
It caused a mild sensation. A hurried
consultation of officials resulted and after
reference to the parcel post regulations
It waa discovered the Oklahoma postmas
ter wns right, that there was nothing In
them covering such a case.
Second Assltsant' Postmaster General
Stewart, therefore, Njeclded that all hu
man beings- and live animals aro barred
from tho molls. Tho ono exception, how
ever, Is the queen bee, which Is tho only
living creature that can enjoy tho privil
eges of tho parcel post.
Protested feet. ore no obstacle to doing
charity work,, according to William HU
son, 'a real estat'o man who Uvea at tho
Young Men's 'Christian association, . Ho
suffered that painful Inconvenience Thurs
day whllo helping In tho relief work
for Mrs. Edna Taylor and her largo
family of sufferers north of Uenson.
Mr. Slsson donated his services In tho
work of gathering donations for the poor
sufferers, and drove H. H. Harpen's auto
all Thursday afternoon, In spite of tho
severe weather. The cold nipped his feet
before he realized Its seriousness. A good
loud of provisions, clothing and other
needed articles yero . secured and turned
over to tho poverty stricken family.
Today Richard Burnell Is gathering
mors donations In his own rig. Ho says
that money la needed much more - than
food or clothing now, aa the family must
have another house, to move Into soon,
liavjng been order to vacate their present
shack.
Mlis Carrlo Nash, prtncpal'of Clifton
Hill school, gave 12 toward the house
fund', and a similar sum was received,
from an unnamed citizen who appreciated
the needs and' worth of the cause. Further
remittances aro urged, even though tho
amount be small, They 'should be ad
dressed to (he Taylor fund, care of The
Bee, and wll bo acknow,leged.
