It gave to the country correct knowledge of the manner in which trusts and combinations were formed and of the dangers to which they led. The investigation of the Reading Railroad strike. by the Tillman committee.which I believe was only a subcommittee. and which in order to save expenses went into the coal regions of Pennsylvania where the strike occurred. cost the House $3.595.64. The investigation by the Ford committee. of the importation of contract labor in violation of law. cost $7.000. The investigation by the Mason committee. in the last Congress. of the Ohio ballotbox forgery. a fact which had been previously admitted and was well known. cost the House $8.232.30. I could not understand. at the time the resolution asking for an investigation of that matter was presented. the necessity for the same or the objects to be accomplished.
