STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, July 23—Every time a congressional investigation amounts to anything it owes its success to some piece of foolishness on the part of the folk whose affairs are being dug into. And it is a piece of foolish ness that one, in advance, would have considered impossible. Another amazing thing is that the individuals who fall into these errors generally are of the class which the public lias been taught to believe con sists of very crafty iitizens. True, the petty bonl salesman, at Warren, Pa., who bungled the hold ing companies’ telegraphic campaign against the “death sentence” clause in the utilities bill, probably never was widely recognized as an intel lectual giant, but he must have eben chosen for his task by superiors in extremely high business stanting. And how did he go about it? As if it weren’t bad enough to dispatch about a bushel of telegrams ostensibly filed by persons whose names he simply selected from his home directory, he neglected to get beyond the D’s in making his selections —and Represen tative D. J. Driscoll, whom he was trying to influence against the “death sentence,” naturally noticed it.

Strikers declared wages in certain departments have been reduced from sl9 to sls per week. The mill man agement explained that the depart ments in question have been operat ing at a loss. Austin H. Carr, president of the cor poration, stated that the mills are open to all who wish to return to work. The mills, he said, have been as considerate as possible of their labor, and are willing to operate the seamless departments as long as pos sible. If the inroads of the walkout make it necessary the plants will be shut down.

The action against the Catholic veterans followed close behind anoth er decree, which provided that stu dents in higher schools need not at. tend religious exercises. Various interpretations were placed on the decrees—that it might be an other attept to break the hold of parochial schools, that it might be an attempt to curb religious resent ment among youths, or that it might be a concession to Neo-Paganistics, paving the way for! more general teaching of the “Germanic” religion. The decree, at any rate, was con sidered to loosen further the tradi tional German links between the state and schools and religion.
