_
Charges Are Made in Resolu
tion Introduced in Both
Houses of Congress.
—
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-—A gener
al Investigation of conditions iui
Porto Hico was proposed in a reso
lution introduced in the House by
Hopresentativo Robert S. Maloney,
Republican, of Massachusetts.
The resolution would authorize
the appointment of a commission ot'
three Senators and three Represen
tatives to carry out the investig.i-1
tion, with especial attention to the.
causes of "deplorable” economic and
living conditions, as affected by j
what the resolution describe- as “the1
gross violations of the organic act,
land monopoly, absentee landlords
and oorporatons, taxation, franchise
and the cruelty of officials in deal-1
ing with the hungry workers.”
"It has been declared,” the reso-'
lution set forth, "that several offi
cials of the Government of t he I
island, as such, have been guilty ofi
repeated acts of dishonest adminis
tration and unlawful conduct and
cruelty in dealing with workeis."
"It has been charged during I he
last eight years." the resolution also
says, "a number of crimes have been!
committed by local authorities as ai
reeult of breaking strikes by force of!
terror; about HO workers have been;
killed by bullets of the police andj
agents of employers; hundreds of
workers have been sent to jail;
many abuses have been committed
by local Magistrates, and many evic
tions of strikers have taken place
W'ithout due process of law; the
right of free speech has been denied
in many instances, and hundreds of
peaceful meetings and parades have
been dispersed by force and scores
of men, woman and children have
been injured as a result of police
and employers' agents brutalities"
There was no reference in tlie
resolution to the controversy between’
Governor E. Mont Reily and the
Porto Rieau Senate, backed by Ke-'
llr Cordova Davila. Resident C.om
missioner of Porto Rico, who ire-1
quently has demanded in the House
that the Governor be removed.
The resolution in the same form
■was Introduced later in the Senate;
by Senator Smith \V. Brookliart, Re
publican, Iowa.
