BAD WEATHER COMING.
More Snow, SIeet, and Rain to
Descend on Capital To-day.

Those optimistic souls who heerfully
predicted that winters backbone had been
broken had their several and collective
regulations as prognosticators severely
dented yesterday when Jupiter Pluyius
visited Washington with snow, rain, and
ice.
While the Temperature was lowering
around the freezing mark, the weather
god got in his fine work, and sent a
steady downfall of rain. snow. and sIeet
Snow in Washington in April is un-
common enough to attract notice, but the
worst is scheduled for to-day. More snow
and sleet are promised in large quantities
for the opening Of the extra session Of
Congress.
The bad weather will continue until late
tomorrow.

Berger told of his fight in Milwaukee
against the newspapers, churches, and
capitalists. until the union tradesmen,
nearly all Socialists, elected a mayor
and common council and sent him to
Congress. He said the country was
about to plunge into a bloody war be-
tween the working classes and the capt.
talists, the only preventive for which
was socialism.
IF the workingmen in the District can
not have the vote. they must organize and
form unions. The formation of the first
trade union Is greater event in the
worlds history than the battle of Manila
In Milwaukee, every union man is sup
posed to be Socialist or a Social DEM
ocrat, or give some reasons to his fellow
worknen why he is not. After a man has
remained there for some time, he sees
the light. and comes into the party fold.
Unless you organize and cause the
peaceful evolution from capitalism to So
cialism, some day the change will come
with the horrors of revolution. In this
democracy I have chosen politics as the
peaceable way of changing conditions. /

lists only when. both parties have the

The commission expressed the be
lief that il can secure the best oper-
atins force for the canal from among
the workers now employed on the
canal. High wages were paid at the
outset when il was difficult TO obtain
men on account of the bad reputation
OF the country. But the commission
cCuJended that as the death rate on
the zone is much lower than for most
parts of the United States. and as the
operating work will be permanent. a
much lower wage scale can be adopt
