Democrats End Push For Mine Strike Inquiry At Private Meeting
In Washington on July 17 Democrats of the House Rules Committee decided against ordering a congressional investigation into the Michigan and Colorado mine strikes. The panel ruled no inquiry resolution would be reported, while attempts to convene the full committee failed. The party found no federal government issue or state incapacity in the strikes. The Democrats also declined to report a rule creating a standing women’s suffrage committee or a separate committee on woman storage, directing further action to the full committee. The vote was four to three, with Henry Fox and Foster urging committee creation. The senate panel recommended Blair Lee be seated, and reported adversely on Frank Glass’s credentials. In farm policy, Senator Borah proposed an Agricultural Capital to market farm products and cut middlemen, with the bill referred to the agriculture committee. Canadian government funding for news circulation to lure Americans northward prompted new senate lobby inquiries, with President Smith of the American Press Association citing payments to indirectly promote cross-border travel.
