Upon his return from the army Mr. Brumm became very conspicuous as Government Revenue Assessor, which office was made necessary by the income tax, which was then in existence, being levied upon all earnings above a certain sum. Lawlessness reigned so extensively in the county that no one would make assessments until Mr. Brum took it in hand, and after a number of desperate encounters succeeded in finnishing the work. He was later selected by the Un- ion League, together with Mr. Benjamin Bannan. to procure certain legislation at Harrisburg: Such as the Green-Judge bill and the Jury and Police bills. Po- irica prejudice ran so high at the time that, because of his actions at the State capita, he was compelled to fight the local courts for two years before he could be admitted to the bar, and only then then after he had been admitted to prac- tice in the Lebanon County bar. Besides his career in Congress he has been very successful in his profession, having. in the midst of a large practice, tried upward of thirty Homeside cases, and only one of his clients was executed. During the great anthracite coal strike he was se- lected by District No. 9 of the United Mine Workers of America as their coun- sel to appear before the Strike Commis- sion appointed by President Roosevelt, and took a very prominent part in the argument before the same.
