INVESTIGATION OF CAMPAIGN
FUNDS REOPENED AT CHICAGO
Newspaper Accounts of Cox's Speech Intro
; duced WilTH. Hays Tells Committee that
the Republicans Were After Small Contri-
butions, Thus Forever Eliminating Possible
' Opportunities for Sinister Influences.
Chicago, Aug. 30. The senate
investigation -of Republican and
Democratic campaign expenditures
J started here today. The senatorial
.committee appointed prior to me
conventions reopened its inquiry
by delving into nationar campaign
chests, both the sums already rai3
.fcd and the amounts which the ftar-
.. j u T"i. r.
the time being at least, has become
one of the principal issues of the
campaign.
At the outset of the hearing Sen
ator Kenyon introduced the news
paper account of Governor Cox's
speech at Pittsbu"?h, the eomnvit-
(tec's telephone message to him art !
,the governors reply.
Without a record vote the com
.mittee received the newspaper ac
counts of Governor Cox's speeches
at Wheeling, W. Va., Pittsburg
and Evansville.
; Will Hays, chairman of the Re
publican national committee,' was
then called to the stand. Mr. Hays
told the committee at the outset
pf his testin.ony that tli Republi
can management welcomed the op
portunity to further fully set furtti
the efforts of the Republican na
tional committee to popularize the
giving of money for campaign pur
poses by getting small contribu
tions from a great many men ana
women, thus forever eliminating
the possible opportunity for sinis
ter influences in connection wlt'i
money in politics. He said this plan
for raising money grew out of two costly as at present, Jfnd an impor

erest, he said. Mr. Hays explain
ed that the plan was proposed
early in 1919 and that the purpose
had been to limit contributions to
$1,000 for any one year from any
individual or $1,000 before -tht
nominating convention and $1,000
after.
"The campaign budget or esti
mate was worked out beginning as
of July 1, of a total amount which
would be needed or actuaj cam
paign expenses and this was $3,-
079,037.20," he said. Of this total
$256,100 was apportioned to speak
ers' bureau; headquarters expenses
were set at $750,824 for Washing
ton, New York, Boston, Chicago,
Denver and San Francisco, Rents
for all ueadquarters were estimat
ed at $45,643. For publicity $1,-
346,500 was appropriated and for
miscellaneous objects such as bu
reaus, clubs, shipping departments,
and distributing, freight and ex
press, all traveling and other ex
penses -incidental to raising money
$080,920 was set aside.
Mr. Hays submitted to the com
mittee a letter from George T. Car
roll as "president of the New Jer
sey Association of Liquor Inter-,
ests" and read from it sentences
soliciting funds to carry on Cox
propaganda with the ultimate ob
ject of obtaining an amendment o

letter called Cox a "pronounced

Senator Reed questioned Mr.
Hays to bring out whether state
committees after receiving their
share of funds raised under joint
agreement of the national commit
tee could continue to raise funds.
He was told they could not.
"Have any men of large means
Wen consulted regarding plans to
underwrite the Reptblican cam
paign?" Senator Reed .asked.
."No, we have borrowed some
monev, but nothing else has been
done.".
"That is a straight loan?"
"Yes."
"Have you heard of any prom

whereby they will receiveitiny fav

Hubbard's invention consists of

NOTED. STRIKE

Strike is .Only Weapon
Laborers Say.
NO PREVENTATIVE
Workers Claim That Strlkt la
Their Only .Weapon to Remedy
Their Conditions As Set Forth
In Jleport o the lnterchurrh
ComrhiMion
(By HARRY B. HUNT)
Washington, Aug. 30. A more
bitter and fiercely contested strike
than that which paralyzed the steel
industry in 1919 is due within a
year.
Failure of the federal govern
ment to follow recommendations
of the Inter-Church World Move
ment's industrial commission which
exposed terrible, unrest-breeding
conditions in the steel industry
makes another strikeem inevit
able, say leaders of organized la
bor. The strike remains their only
weapon, they say.
enied government aid in relieve
ing intolerable industrial relations
and encouraged by the specific
manner in which the Inter-Church
investigators justified last year's
strike, steel workers are determin
ed to fight for Their rights with
the backing of a public opinion
they think ha been enlightened
and swung to their side.
Government Action Unlikely
No action by the federal gov
ernment, either by the president
direct or by the department of la
bor, is likely to be taken to meet
the recommendations of the Inter
Church commission. The govern
ment was asked to make an imme
diate effort to settle disturbing la
bor conditions in the steel industry
by means of conference between
the U. S. Steel corporation and its
employes.
The Jnter-Churcn report, sub
mitted to the President late in July,
was referred to the secretary of
labor July 29. It went to the de
partment s bureau of labor adjust
ment. It lay there till Aug. 27,
while officials were trying to set
tle a threatened strike of miners.
Doubt Power to Act
Doubt as to the authority of the
department or the president to in
trude into the steel situation1 at a
time when there is no strike in the
industry, without either the direc
tion of congress or a 'joint invita
tion by steel employers and work
ers, was expressed by officials
when the report, finally was taken
up. "
An investigation covering, par
ticularly, conditions in the steel
industry in western Pennsylvania
was urged by the report.
Such a localized investigation,
it was agreed, could be made ex
cept on invitation of the state of
Pennsylvania. Federal authority
cannot deal with such -local prob
lems without state invitation and
consent anymore than federal
f inVn MtAti Tt i
"?T " I
auell local disturbances except
when state authority asks help.
The chances of any federal meai
ation to remedy conditions in the
steel industry and to forestall a
future strike, then, are most re
mote. "And with this remoteness
recognized, the changes of an early
renewal of open conflict between
Bteel workers and employes are
correspondingly increased.
; The steel corporation specifical
ly, and the whole iron and steel
industry in general, are under
charges that tis employes expect
to press. The unprejudiced
churches of America have backed
up the steel workers. U. S. Steel
continues silent.
Careful Probe
Few investigations have been so
carefully and exhaustively made
as this one by the Inter-Church In
dustrial Commission and it is im
portant that the public have the
facts.
VThe commission was headed by
such men as Bishop Frances J.
McConnell,- Methodist; George W.
Coleman, formerly president of
the Northern Ifcaptist convention;
Dr. Daniel A. Poling, associate
president of the World's Christian
Endeavor societies; Dr? John Mc
Dowell, chairman social service
commission of the Presbyterian
church; Rt. Rev. C. D. Williams,
Episcopal bishop of Detroit; Bish
op W. M. Bell, United Brethren,
and others just as noted.

SOONIS WARNING
Winnipeg, Canda, Aug. 30.
Canada is about to cease being bar
tender for her American cousins.
Since the great drought envel
oped the United States, Canada has
been- the Mecca of the thirsty. It
is here they have come singly, in
pairs, in parties and in conven
tion Rum runners have been
busy conveying the precious juices
of pleasure from partially-wet
Canada to reasonably-dry United
States.
In Fact Also
Now Canada, in the law books as
dry, i3 about to betome so in fact.
When the votes are counted dur
ing the provicinial elections in the
next few months, prophets say
there's not much doubt but what a
majority will declare for the refe
vincial liquor traffic.
With the exception of Qubec,
where beer and light wines may be
retailed, no liquor can bg, sold le
gally in any Canadian province.
But. since this drynefts is all -in
the local option form aiuf sincf un
der the law a province cannot re
strict dominion commerce, anaai
ans have been able to obtain all the
liquor they desired by buying it
outside the province and having it
shipped to them.
To End Farce
That made local option a farce
MIIU IIVVTy DO J bllVOC VV I IV IIIVUIU I
know, Canada ir about to end thM
farce and enter the bone-dry list.
It is an ancient maxim, indorsed
by wets and drys alike, that where
there's liquor liquor will be sold.
That's the case in Canada today.
There's always a willing' bell boy
or a waiter with a desire t please
and there's more blind swine than
there are pigs with natural par
ents. ' 1
Hotels and railways have enjoy
ed a rushing tourist trade and it
is said that hardly a man crosses
the line back to the United States
who isn't wiping his mouth with
the bac kof his hand and whose
baggage doesn t have to be search
ed with care.
All Over Soon
But it's to be over, soon. By
early fall Canadian provinces will
have ratified the referendum, it is
said, and the Manitoba government
is pledged to abolish the "buy it
outside and ship it in" traffic if
the referendum carries?
So it looks like a long, long dry.
spell for Canada and her lfl play
mates across the line.

ASSAULTED CONDUCTOR
James Colbert, Negro Porter, Is
Given 30 Days on the Roads by
Judge Carlton
. V
In the county court this morning
one of the defendants was James
Colbert, a negro porter for the
Southern, who was indicted on a
charge of simple assault, and he
was given 30 days on the roads.
Colbert' was a porter on the
northbound train in charge of Con
ductor Baker and when within the
county limits he was instructed by
Capt. Baker to perform some task
in connection with his work and he
became insolent showing an ugly
disposition and finally assaulted
Capt. Baker. - Judge Carlton gave
him time o nthe roads without op
portunity to pay a fine and it was
evident more time would have been
imposed if it had been within the
power of the court. Colbert had
been on Capt. Eaker'a train only
about month.
